Not enough light?

**chiselwizard** · 17-06-17, 02:46 PM

I've got 3 week old seedlings in a single wardrobe sized cupboard. They're autos in jiffiplugs under a single 23w t5 light.
(I was told to transplant them into final pots and move them to my grow tent under HPS when roots started growing through the jiffiplugs.)
The seedlings are looking pretty spindly and I suspect that they're stretching for light. Should I have more light on them in the cupboard before moving them to the grow tent and if so what's the best option?

Yes more light. Move the CFL a few inches from seedling for now.

I've read that you should start auto's in final pots. Once they sprout you should have them under max output you plan to use. Your auto's are now basicaly 3 weeks old so they will start to flower any day now.

You can have a 23w CFL almost touching the plant.

Get it in the tent asap mate, pot up and move it into the tent at the same time. Your probably a third of the way through and you should have it in its final pot and as said above, as much light as poss, ie hps. The way your growing at the mo is how you should treat a photo not an auto.

Good luck pal😉
