Itâs stretching. Light needs to be closer or more powerful.
You could try and mound up some soil around the base of the stem for support . I also use a pipe cleaner or piece of wire to support the stem . Should be ok if you lower the light as close as possible without cooking the plant .
1/2 pipe cleaner looped around the stem until it gets sturdy. also, plastic coated tomato wire will work.
NOWâŚget the light the plant deservesâŚORâŚyour efforts wonât get you much at all.
I appreciate the help im getting another grow light asap for my other seedlings
I have that same end table in the background! Haha enjoy your grow and good luck.
just to throw this out there for you but I have really good results with two, two foot T5 lights. Theyâre fairly cheap and they seem to do well. Iâve used them for a few years now. Good luck. enjoy your growing!
Thank you so much for the help and hahah thats awesome its a great end table
Difficult to tell from the photos, be careful to not over water and cause them âdamp offâ as this can be fatal.
I am NOT asserting that you are over watering, just a heads up. Other than the stretch, they look very healthy.
@neckNflu (is that right) in your T5,s for seedling - you use cool white bulbs? BTW new to the site & blogs or whatever, you all are incredibly welcoming! thank you
Thank you im new at this so i hope im not screwing up i wanna try and get the best quality out of my harvest thank you for the help!!
Yeah man there great on here they help newbs like me so muchđ
Personally, I would be leaning toward warm white. Others may have some other advice.
u can also use a 4000k 5000k or âdaylightâ CFL bulb. if it is a small wattage u can keep it really close to plant. for example if you got a 15watt daylight cfl u could probably keep it 3 inches or less away from your seedling
thats a cheap effective temporary solution.
but your seedling will outgrow a small light quickly
I know. Iâm looking at mine right now. It survived three or four moves. Have a nice Sunday
Yes thatâs a very good point. I do take mine out of the light as soon as I can turn my room around. I try and get my timing" right. since I only have one room to grow and flower in. I have my seedlings and clones under my T5 light thatâs outside of my grow room. Theyâre not a permanent thing. Good for clones and seeds. Fyi- My main room has 2- 315W CMHs. have a nice morning everyone
The T5 that I have right now are high output 6400k, 24 Watt
Full disclosure the only reason why I use that kind of bulb is because local grow shop guy told me that was cheap(er) and a good way to go. Been using them since I started growing.
