Okay so I have germinated and planted these 10 Celtic Hash seeds 11 days ago.

How long do I have to wait till I transplant them?

I have been keeping them in a cupboard with 2 flouro's( one at 25 watt and another at 15 watt). I just added the 15 watt flouro one about 3 days ago.

I see that some have yellow at the edges I think that its because its too close to the light. I have been watering them every 2 days.

Any suggestions? Thanks all, I appreciate the time to answer my questions.

your plants look stretched. you need to lower the light alot. if your using flourescent tubes, it should be no more than an inch away from the light. tubes emit little to no heat so there wont be any burning. If the yellowing is on the rounded leaves at the bottom, then dont worry about it because those arent real leaves.

Summary: lower your lights.

Thanks so much. Any ideas as to when I can transplant them?

the usual rule is when the plants get bigger the the cup. at least 4 - 5 days i would say. you should try to get a cfl in there, they are soo much better than flourescent tubes.

yea, for 10 seeds, if they all sprout you will need more than your two lights. i suggest get a pack of 6 26W cfls, but i think you want around 4 at this moment, thats what id do.

Ya, I just got another 15 Watt, so i have one 25 and 2 15's on each side. The cupboard is narrow so thats probably the most i can fit. I was wondering some of them look as big as the jiffy pots that I planted them in, should I plant them now or wait another 2 weeks so that the smaller ones can catch up and plant them all at the same time?

Also the leaves are touching the lights, is that a bad thing?

yea, they can be right above but you have to adjust lights so they dont touch leaves ever.
right now is fine if you cant wait. the plants will be shocked a little either way so its up to you.

Yes so after installing another 15 watt bulb most of my plants have yellow tips and are cracked. I think i fucked up by putting another light so close to the leaves.

I just want to transplant as quick as possible so that I don't have to worry about screwing it up.

Heres the damage

you need you some more ligghts they are streching like fuck,
maybe some cfls???

I have 55 watts among 3 light bulbs... I don't think I have more room for it... can you direct me to a place where I can find a small compact one that has good amount of lightness? I am hoping to transplant them in around 10 days considering its been 15 days.
