now i see pic yes fantastic start nice and stout plants tight internode spacing but...
yes as discussed i would go ahead and raise it to increase the stretch alittle if you have the room the 600 still gets good penetration if they get a little taller but still nice and bushy
too close can also cause droop as you asked
allright buddy,i raised light to about 120cm over them. Let it be ther until plants take off,its very much eaesyer to determine light distance when the third week sets in. Its always hard to find sweetspots regarding light and water the two first weeks of their lives i think,when they takes off in 3.to 4. week,all aspects are much better to control.:smokebuds:
 
Containers are that heavey with soil thats been fully soaked two times since mai 14.only been giving water twice after that but just some small cups around stem. I think i have been too messed up in the weight and dryed them really instead of overwatered beacause my finger was not moist at all when i push finger over half way down in container,i will say it was dry. will give them a good soak with some N. Damn its seems so long since last harvest and keeps forgetting what i did last grow. better begin to log in a notebook.
 
And i had a lift off over night after soaking with grow nute. A big positive difference,but nl x bb is still a bit sloppy.
 
Did same last run,afraid to overwater and ends up underwater. Like mental sign "DO NOT WATER TO MUCH". Things will be fine now.
 
i've watered for a couple of nurseries, eg. all day for years. it's a mistake i make less, but it still happens occasionally (last time with new type of soil in desert sun). generally my medium fades to almost total perlite by the bottom of the container (i try and always water from the bottom or around the edges to promote outwards growth, and let it disperse to the root zone).

the good thing is it's taught me to react quickly to the first signs of overwatering. the aquarium air pump is a good thing to have on hand as such, they're not that expensive. the only other thing i know of to do 'afterwards' is to repot, which i'd do in the first 24 hours. longer than that and they'll live :)
