is it bad if my poppys came up but are really tiny and stringy? They are probably about 1 1/2 inches tall. Ill probably have a pic up later tonight.

They might be stretching, when you post the picture it will be easy to tell. How far away are your lights, and what type of lighting do you have for them? Indoor/outdoor???

Yeah, your light is way too far away from the plants. You might want to start over.

Yeah, my buddy has some growing indoors right now, actually almost all of my buddies have some growing indoors. The type they are attempting to grow is White Persian(ideal for indoor cultivation).
