How far are your lights away from your seedlings?

Hey bro, what kind of.lights do you have? Try bringing them closer to the light. Depending on the light you have let's you know how close...

I'm a new grower but I've had success with seedlings because of keeping light close...they will continue to stretch until they reach the light.

What are they being germinated in? One thing that is easy is to buy rapid rooters, the spongy (sp?) kind, not the dirt ones. Cut them in half heigth wise, and then split them down the middle. Gently open the rooter, then put the tall sprout inside it. It will keep them straight, and they'll root right out of the old stem. Then put your light a little closer.

Some just stretch, I have an 8 bulb t5 that I use, nice and close, and some strains just stretch, but that's my secret. No more lost seedlings with this method.

Good luck. Hope this helps. Oh......I feed them with Clonex from seedling until transplant, just fyi. They love that shit.

Top up the pot with soil to cover some of the leggy stem and support it ,get a cfl closer and make sure temps dont go over 80.

If your using soil just fill it up with soil to the first set of leaves the cotyledons itll be fine. And bring the lights to within 2 or 3 inches.

i cant do the soil higher because of no room its already to the top with soil.

It was the light. i got a new light. I need to fix them now

If you need to then you should put a wooden skewer in the soil relatively close toyour seedling and then tie a cotton thread around the stalk of the plant and to to skewer, once the seedling has a thick enough stalk then you can untie it if you choose to.

Try useing a twistie tie from bread and prop the seedlings up. When you transplant remember to fill soil to the cover her up. Get her closer to the light.

k thatss what i was going to do i have the equitment to tie them. can i dig them up when they get a bit stronger??

If you tie them they'll fall down and die off. I've tried it all. Learn from someone who's been around the block dude. It isn't enough support. I have 100% success with seedlings doing what I posted up.

just do what this guy does https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/61641-my-35-day-old-mid.html
on second thought dont

just turn pot upside down and remove from pot then remove soil from bottom with fingers gently be careful of roots then it will sit lower in pot then fill to below leaves
i done it plenty times with no damage

K well my guys are like 7 days old not even the first set of leafs are fully there. Can i still take them out and replant them with the first set of leave right above the dirt.?????

Can i dig them up now can replant them with them being 7 days old. THESE ARE FEMINIZED SEEDS so i can't fuck them up they are all pretty long i fix the light problem now i just have to fix the plants now.????????

yes u can and makes no difference if fem or not
dont dig them up place hand over top of dirt turn upside down tap sides of pot and slide off
just be careful

just let it do its thing when you go to tranplant plant stalk deeper in pot is all also would suggest if your not already doing it run your lights on 24 hrs
