Tell me if something's wrong!!!!!!

These are 6 days old. New at growing do they look ok? They're getting very tall and the leaves aren't catching up!
any ideas!?

 

[Markob]

they are getting really tall id transplant them in to 5g pots maybe even bigger if you can.

You will also need alot more lights as they seem to be stretching towards it.

Good luck though looking good so far.

 

[Scroga]

its called 'stretch' ...youve got a lot of reading to do buddy! all plants will grow towards the best light source...if it is weak,they will stretch instead of staying short and stocky..its not a problem..they will slow down when they get close enough...after the have few sets of leaves an a stronger stem, you can fill the cup up with more media and effectivley bury the stretch...

Did no one see the bulb the op is using?
you CANT grow anything with those bulbs.
get real bulbs because you cant even grow half a plant with what you have.
id stop what you are doing, go read, buy your stuff and then plant the seeds....

You can grow something with those bulbs...possibly a small dandelion. Nah, all jokes aside, your seedlings are stretching and you can probably cull half of them as you won't be able to support them with adequate light to grow. Bury about half the leangth of those stems in dirt and bring your lights in as close as possible, I don't think there is much worry of them getting burned.

Try using a match instead of that light and you'll have better luck

Yeah, your light bulb is the problem, you really need to get some CFL lights very soon

Seems like allot of condensation droplets on the cups, watering them often?
Do you have drain holes on those cups?

sorry to hijack your thing

guy with 2 minds ..............how the hell do u make up your mind when u need to do a action since u are a spilt


guy growing ...............that light is bad u should take it out ............replace it with Daylight Bright CFL........get one of those Y socket splits and use 2 of them in that socket u have now (the power will be less then what u are using now assuming it is a 60 or 75 watt)

 

[kinddiesel]

look great. I would lower the bulb if possible. you don't need a bigger bulb then that for seeding don't listen to these guys. I use a 35 watt cfl for cloning . and I cut clones from the mommy plant 10 inches tall the small light works fine. as soon as they get 4 inches tall its to to turn on more lighting .

I rearranged, I have two rows with two lights on them.this is just for a day. I've been misting them with water every few hours. Lights 24/0 and am thinking of transferring them in about a week hopefully.
feedback appreciated!

 

[AimAim]

More bulbs and fill the cups up to the rim.

 

[Red91]

K thanks.is a week good to transfer

hahahaha i wish i had half a brain then life would be simple and happy ..........i envy the ppl that are happy and can just be........ the simple mind with only worries of a few things

my trouble is i can well i can play out multi choice in my head to the end point and alot of the time i do not have all the varibles to say 100% sure yes this is the right choice........... so figured a person playing this online might have thought about the subject more then i have and come up with a logical method that has decent results

half the time it ends up with 2 choices and i just flip a coin allowing luck/fate/unaccounted varibles to have a play ...............for u to have picked that charater means u are a reader and thinker and might even have a medical or bio chemical background since that is what the subject matter deals with the most

 

[brissel]

what light spectrum are you using?

 

[frizzlegooch]

Dawg that old fashioned incandescent aint doing nothing for you you need swirly bulbs (cfl's) and to do alot more reading,

 

[justugh]

the bulb u have in it ............unless it is a philps plant light .........is a bad one it makes heat and the lightwaves are in the spec that is no good

like i said get a Y socket split ..........hook it in the socket u are using now and then use 2 daylight bright cfls


i attached info for u
1 is light wave and what does for plants
2 and 3 are pages from a book to help u id the sex and the lingo we use
4 is the color chart to understanding CFLs and the lightwaves they give off
