    This is the 3rd week and all of the olants are leaning to the side. The light is directly above them and it's no sign of burning so I don't think the light is too close. Are they fighting for the light?? They seem healthy, they just got their lean on......

    Thank you

    Light to high they are stretching and the light is not over one right it is leaning over to the light. Plants need to be right under the lights so the do not lean. when you start to see plants stretch with long stems that means lower light. Option yo do have is transplant them in bigger pots and bury the long stem under the soil, it will root off of that stem.

    On average, I maintain my lights about 24 inches from vegging plants tend to reduce that as I shift to short hours. A simple 90 watt UFO in an enclosed 12 x 12 inch shelving unit seems to be the best configuration I run (perfect for beefing up sluggish sprouts but too small to realistically flower in). First pic shows how snug the system is, second one is a webcam mounted directly above.
