Thanks for the suggestions from both of you. Now that I think of it I was having ph trouble for a little while and I had 1 cfl about 2" above the tops. I just switched to a 400watt hps and its about 15" above the tops. I'm using hydroton and my timer only runs on 30 min intervals but ive tried...

@nunotmp - theyve been in the bag for about 4 days and i check them once daily
