Yes from seed, indoor - hydro, temp about 75 and yes stretching I guess, it's my first time so I don't really know. I do know that stretching would be due to light being to far away but I think the light is ok like.

Try putting your hand where the light is. Just at the spot where it is warm, not hot, is where the plants should be. Try propping them up with sticks or tooth pics. It happens. I am sure Hatch will advise you well once you add more details.

Peace

Do You Have A Fan, Lightly Blowing Across The Top's Of Them??,,This Will Help Strengthen The Stem.

& Like My Lady Has Said You Can Stack & Tie Them To Help Give Them A Chance.

If You Have CFL's, They Can Be Within 2" To 3" From The Top's Of The Plant's.

I know it's hard to make out the pics, I dropped the light a bit. and we'l see, i suppose. Yea I have a fan heater.

Yes, the light needs to be closer. Also, you can add some pebbles higher on them, or bury them deeper once they get older. In soil, I plant them right up to the water leaves when they need potting up. In hydro, I think you just have to try and stake them up more.

Good luck!

Ya, They Are Just Searching For The Light, Bring It Down To About 6" Above Them, Let Them Get Used To The Light, Watch Them To Make Sure They Don't Stress, If They Are OKay With It After A Bit You Can Lower It A-Little More, If They Look Like They Can't Handle It Raise It A-Bit.

i think hatch means you shouldn't be blowing a heater over them?
you should be using a fan just like the ones we use in hot weather to cool us down!!

not that we know what that is LOL but i think thats what hatch means......

Ya, A Heater/Fan- The Fan Is In The Back Of The Unit & It Blows Over Heating Cores Then Out The Front Of The Unit, This Will Restrict The Air Flow From The Fan, It Works Good In It's Place As A Heater, But For This The Air Flow Is Restricted & I Feel You Would Get Better Results With Just A Regular Small Fan.
