Re: Help! Seedlings are falling over... Thank you guys...that's what I thought I should do, but I wanted to make sure first...thanks!!

I germinated 30 seedlings about a week ago and put them in soil (FoxFarms OS) I started them on 2 48" 40watt floros two days ago...they were already an inch and 1/2 above the soil before I put the lights on them...today I woke up and a few were bent over no longer standing straight up. I had to...

Thanks...one more question...should I put the lights on my seedlings as soon as they break the soil?

OK thanks...one more question then I should be good to go...as soon as they break the soil...(my seedlings) should the light be put on them then?

Thanks Paladin... Are these 48" shoplite the cfl's I have been hearing about...my closet space is about 2x4 and there is no ventilation...The temp should not be a problem with these lights...also, should I keep a fan on them to strengthen the plant? If so, how long...thank you so much!

If I use these lights, will I have problems with stretching? Are you certain this is enough wattage? I have heard conflicting stories and I am just trying to do it right...thanks!

OK, first time grower here...could use some advice. I have just planted my 30 freshly germinated seeds. I am using the FoxFarms Ocean's Best (I believe it's called) soil. *They have not broken the soil yet and I keep them out of the sun but not in a dark place, should they be in a dark place...

I forgot they watering schedule: should I water on a set schedule with a set amount of water, or only if the soil is dry near the top 1"-2"? Also, one more thing...when should these lights be put on my plants? Right after they have sprouted? And how close should they be to the plants?

OK, first time grower here...could use some advice. I have just planted my 30 freshly germinated seeds. I am using the FoxFarms Ocean's Best (I believe it's called) soil. I bought two 24" EcoLux Plant and Aquarium F20 wide spectrum fluorescent bulbs, to grow my plants in the closet until they...

Thank you guys....that's a relief. I should have mentioned that the seeds hadn't even cracked yet and there was no root showing at all, so that is good news, I hope...thanks again all...I will post and let you guys know if they crack or not. The jewel case/TP method sounds like a great...

Hi guys, first time poster (and grower) here. OK, I might have a problem and any help would be greatly appreciated. I started germinating 30 seeds about 20 hours ago...I am using the paper towel method with plastic wrap perched on my monitor (they are not exposed to light). I woke up this...
