Why they are stretching? Well they are growing, that's what they do...lol
They look good, upload pics here next time it's easier to see
They look fine to me, in a week or two they will start filling out more

Nice Job

They look Good, they are just young and reaching towards the light, I think the lights should be like 18" away, im not a LED guy, so ya may wanna double check on that

The light is right now 28 cm (11 inches) away from the plant.
i dont know if it is to close?

I think thats too Close, id start at 18"

Check yer Box and Manual, should have info on distances for the Viperspectra 300w

 

[maana2820]

Okay i moved the light 41 cm (16 inches) away from the plant.
I will look often to the plant to make sure the light is okay

It's weird they're stretching when you have the light so close, my initial thought would have been stretch due to them trying to reach up for light. I think the viper is the same as mars though which I'm running, recommended light heights 30 inch seedling, 18-24" veg, 12-14" flower. They look healthy though.

You said it's a haze right? Those LEDs are pretty powerful. They should be getting plenty of light not to stretch, unless it's in its makeup to do such. They'll be fine!

I agree with cannabro if they were stretching before the light was too far away but even 16" is too close for a seedling but each strain will react different but I would suggest bringing it up another 5 or 6 cm for now

 

[maana2820]

I got the LED from Ebay in germany i think it is legit.

 

[maana2820]

I think the led need to be so close is because i dont have it in a grow tent but i am not sure.

What I would suggest, since you're not in peril right now, is to start a journal!
Let's use know all the details, post some pics of your space and, breakdown of what you got going!
You have a great community here that will help out for sure!

 

[maana2820]

Many Thanks
I will keep you guys updated and take some pics of how much space i have and what i got

I love the answers. 16-18" is perfect height on the new kids, especially with LED. Not as much heat and full light saturation is good. I use LED for my sativa grows and know others that use LED for every grow. I wouldn't be afraid to extend the light time and go 20/4 for a few weeks. Just a thought. They really look healthy at this point! I agree on the journal.
