    Stretching sprouts

    My seedlings have just broken through the dirt and they are stretching like crazy. Any ideas. No light yet. Frank's number 8 organic soil made for seedlings. With rapid rooter plugs.

    They need light or that happens. Need light from day one.

        Then what were you asking if you knew that? How to fix? Repot and bury up to leaves.

        so what do you want to know? Their in organic soil, made for seedlings, started in rapid rooter plugs,sprouted..stretching like crazy...Only problem i can see is they need light...and close to the seedlings. Lots of information on GWE about this...

      Once the tap root breaks free, those first leaves are going to stretch until they find light. Nothing is wrong aside from light.

        For seedlings, you might want to grab an inexpensive fluorescent or LED light bar.

          "Light" + C02 + H20 = photosynthesis.

              Seedlings can have 24 hr light for a while. Until first set of multiple fan blades. Good for autos to accelerate veg growth
