Awesome good to know!! I was going to ask if I should be adding some more soil ill throw pictures up tonight when I get home. This is my second grow and ill be the first to admit I am a big newb but I'm also constantly reading and asking questions I'm open to all advice and info.When you plant seeds only fill the pit half way, and slowly fill the dirt up following the true leaves
The set up is really rather strange and I know it's not the most ideal but until I get my next check I can't afford lights. This is just how I start my seeds.Tie em to a stick. Give em a little support or something
3" away and they are stretching. What kind of light and color spectrum?
Thanks for your feed back!! I move their positions every day or two and turn them every few hours I know it's not ideal but it worked last time. Ill be getting my check on the 8th will they be good until then?? You recommend fluorescents would you say t5 would be sufficient? I'm super right on funds and am only planning on 4-6 plants per goThe reason they are doing this is because of the light. They are "stretching" to recieve more light. I would look in some flourescents when you have the money. Also in the picture, it looks to me that the ones on the end are not recieving the same amount of light as the ones right under it...I would move the ones on the end under the light, for a day or two, then shift them around daily. That should help!
It deff looks like an light issue. I was limited on funds,space and ideal conditions, I used an LED panel.
12" x 12" blue/red spectrum. 255 led's. at only 14 watts. my Purple buckeye seedling ( a 15 yr plus outdoor) did very well. stayed short,nice healthy color. i'll post pics of light and girl, that light prepared it enough to put outside and look like this, all organic (TLO) taisty and stoney.

IME this happens NO MATTER WHAT. I usually start my seeds outside under The Big Metal Halide in the Sky, and they always do this. Guess what! They grow out of it, no matter what (well, ok, they won't grow out of it if there isn't sufficient light). I say leave them be.Hey all my seedlings are about a week old and a few of them are so stretched that they are now fallen over and are resting on the top of the pot. I turn them regularly to strengthen the stalk but now these two are growing like a side ways question mark. The other four are doing great standing straight and tall. I'm curious what I should do should I leave em alone and if I do nothing will that ruin there chance of growing healthy? They are all purplewreck about 3 inches away from the light.
Nice organic fade :) how much was that led?
Damn I need to find something like that because its to damn hot here in the summerThanks Dad, I love the purple plus starving her at the end helps ripen em up.
The panel 14watts was $35. a year ago, they got 28 watts, 50 watts and diff light spectrums.
Its not high output, but i had it in an enclosed box with just a small hole. hardly any heat.
perfect for small space.
