Need some advice

First of all, hello everyone. I've been reading the forums for a while but finally decided to register today. I'm on day 3 or 4 of my grow and one of the sprouts looks great...but the only other that has sprouted looks like shit and has fallen over. Are my lights too far away maybe? I'm using two 75w florescent grow lights right now and watering with ultra pure distilled water.

Yeah it is. I hadn't had the opportunity until now for many reasons.

...yeap, that's probably the issue. If your growing with fluros, keep them 2-3 inches away, imo.

...your plants will grow fine under fluros during veg., you'll need more light when you flip them to flower.

Try starting your veg with something like this. Not very intense and gets the job done.

don't bother with that. if you want better veg lights get t5s they work great in veg, but the light you have is fine in veg as long as its the right color temp. you may need to add more later as your plants get bigger.

as for the sprout it could be a few things if you could get a pic up it would help

Dont use distilled water. Causes problems in my experience.

good point. I like T5 too!

Although for mothering the 250/400 is more versatile. Whats your experience?
