chris this sounds eerily similar to my scenario. the tops stay really green, but instead of going from purple to green, my stems went from purple to white and shriveled and died. I believe mine was because the color temp on the lights was too high.
Only have one left and 2 that seem to be duds...
Hey looks even more ghetto than my first setup. Check out what I put up today for my sprouts. This could be cool comparing my growth to yours... your a little ahead of me im only on day 5 post germ? one of them day 2
Looks cool. What temp you using for the bulbs? Im runnnig 6500K daylight
Overhead view with blanket down. I do this to reflect some light and during the night I put one window fan on fresh air and block it so it blows against the plants. Soon I will get an extra small fan to blow right on em.
Good view of the setup, two lights on the left are 100W 3500K bulbs. Next round of pics ill have another bulb for the right light... right now its 2000K soft white
