Hey guys, First grow here and I've got 2 sprouts leaning and a third trying to. I have a 2ft 96w 4 bulb T5 above the plant and a 1 ft. 24w bulb on the side of the sprouts. They have started almost bending back towards the soil at around an inch to an inch and a half in height and arn't looking too strong. I've been spraying our germination dome every over day. Any Suggested please help!!!
try moving the lights closer sounds like your seedlers are streching out and arent able to support there own weight in doing so...try cutting a ddrinking straw down and putting it around the stem like a small cast!!
i would say move your lights about 6in from the tops of the sprouts. and try to get as strong of bulbs as you can. do you have a light for after they are done vegging?
I have another 2 T5's I'm gonna put on them through veg and flower. Low on money right now so I don't have much to work in that department. Thank both of y'all, about to do the drinking straw casts as we speak
I had the same problem the other day, I would say if you're using cfls get them closer than 6". More like 2-3" away if they're not too hot.
when you transplant make sure and cover the stem a with a bit of soil also try and get a small fan that you can blow at the plants it will halp strengthen the stems
I've got a fan for them for transplant, I'm using hydroton as my medium tho, they're currently in rapid rooters
