Hey guys, my plants have been growing for nearly 1.5 weeks now, 1 week under 75watts flouresent tube and the half a week was under a 35watt due to my first 75watter being droped and smashed

Anyway, i was wondering, if i should switch them to my MH light yet? the plants look a little skinny and the taller one is bending over slightly, i have a small fan blowing on them to strengthen the stalks.

Everyone else plants seem to have more branches by now, im not sure if im doing something wrong?

oh also, should i remove the seed shell from the top of the plants? as it hasnt fallen off yet.

ive linked a few pics

u have definatly streached em there m8,you need more floros, u could use the mh what watt is it.and u should of started in smaller pots.and wat dirt u got.(actually, i rekon im over doing it a bit its a close view)

yea man they are a bit streached but not to bad, i tried to get a cd to show the height but didnt work out with the camera ratio so much. id say the biggest one is about 5 maybe 6 inch

Don't worry about it mate, they need more light, stick em under the mh, not too close though. When you pot up you can bury the stems down a bit so they aren't so gangly

Get 'em under the halide - as long as you have the ventilation and air movement sorted.

Mine go 9 inches from my 250 watt HPS after 5 days - a more powerful lamp will need to be further away.

reaching for light..also bend stems gently back and forth..this will strengthen the stems after couple days..use matchstick for support..

awesome guys, thanks for the tips.

my mh is 400 watt, ill have to keep that quite away from the plants

about 3 foot away for the first week, then start to lower as they get more leafs
works for me
