    Add more soil. Cover up that stretch and get the lights closer. She is stretching for the light and she will die without it. I've never heard of not putting light on a seedling as soon as it breaks the surface. It doesn't get 48 hours of darkness when grown outside. She needs light.

    What kind of lights? How many Watts? What kind of water do you water with?

    Put a cup of water or a wet towel in somewhere. It'll keep moisture up. Maybe laying in front of the intake

    Okay good. Intake or exhaust?
     
  17. #17 BlackChronic, Jun 23, 2011
    intake, should i run it 12v or 5v?
     
  18. #18 greenbudguy, Jun 23, 2011
    Run exhaust and passive intakes. It pulls the hot air out and pulls cool air in automatically by creating a vacuum effect. Intake fans can get in the way. Having exhaust only and passive intakes seems to work better. My experience at least

    so 1 big exhaust fan and just a hole for intake air?

    yes. screen in the intake hole. Will help keep bugs from getting in.
