yes they seem lanky a few are falling over what should i do?pics ?? sounds like damping off , are the stems skinny and dented
no there not like that they just seem lanky and some are begining to fall over i only feed them tiny amounts of water out of a bottle lid so i dont think its that could it be down to rh?get some pics up would be the first thing to do , its not good if its damping off , its from wet soil ,bad soil ,
damping off looks like this
how much light should they be getting ive been giving them 24on 0 offyou can always plant them deeper , you need a small fan when they start off to thicken the stem , but getting them down deep will help
i have one t5 light above 10 girls is that not enough light i have another i could add and an humidifier what do you think are they to small to go under a mh? when shoild thry go under proper lighting
probs about 6 to 8 inchs awayhow close ? , you can almost touch them with a t5 if its too high this is the problem
fine mist the walls or the actual babys?ive started under 250 MH , but a while back not the price of electric bill these days its harder to keep up lol , t5s are perfect just want them couple of inch above , if you have another yes add it , if your humidity is below 40 maybe add one ,but you can fine mist them to get humidity up
think im ging to mist the walls to be on the safe side should i be gib=ving them 24 hours of light now?you can lift the light up for an hour and mist the babies then drop the light again ,or even the walls can be safer ,
i keep my RH at 40 ish too high can cause calcium def ,70+ would be really bad
what temp and humidity is optimal fr them ive read so many different opinions i just want them to grow healthy ha18 would be fine , give them a break , i have done them both 24/0 18/6 , didn't see to much difference TBH
