Hi peeps

Ok back again with some photo's. These babies are 7 days after sprouting and as you can see they are stretched (look like palm tree strain not Blue cheese).

I now have 6 x 11 watt 2700k cfl lamps over them. I know these are not good enough but best local store had.

As told on here in earlier post have not touched them or done a thing but they don't seem like recovering sooooooooo.

Do I repot to cover stem, carry on as Im doing. I was even thinking well they wont survive so repot feed gently and bang on the 600w hps light.

Guys as you can tell Im new and not sure and any help from you pro's would help me sooooo much.

Cheers

They look fine to me, standing up on their own.

Only problem is they are super stretchy, mine are about that height but they have almost 12 nodes.

To late to re-replant them, but if you end up replanting them later like before flower. Make sure you plant all that extra stem under the soil so its nice and stable for when you do flower or else it might tip easy.

^ yes..repot and bury that shit right up to the growing end...remove those stupid all-around light covers (for studying and reading) and only cover from above! Direct the light down to the plant, and the plant wont stretch...that's all wasted energy that the plant burned off to get closer to the light...only to not waste anymore light, and absorb as much as possible! Sorry if that all sounds harsh...I mean well! PEACE!

Don't sound harsh .... sounds like good advice. Will re - pot today and take off the desk lamp covers. thanks for the replys and keep them coming.

Walmart sells a true 200w cfl that is like 4-6k lumen. It fits in a desk lamp and is pretty sweet at $15.

nah theyre not dead/unhealthy just super stretchy! like they said repot is what i would do make sure the containers are big enough so that you can both bury the stem and not let the plants get root bound
