new seedlings don't need a whole lot of light to begin with.

I would make one thread about your grow and ask all questions there. If you make a thread for every question then you should always post your set up so people have a clue what you're talking about

its stretching for light and trying to shed its seed shell, don't worry about that just leave it alone for now and move/pot it on as soon as it gets strong and green keep fl tubes about 3" away from the top of the new greenery

if you have more "sponge" cut some up with scissors into small pieces and *gently* fill the hole and support the exposed white stem, you will get more roots that way and support the stem at the same time. thats what i would do right now

Justin 121: In an A/G you can have the light a couple of inches off the tops of your plants without a problem. Brown spots I would be concerned about because that's not usually an indication of too much light but possible nute burn especially if it's on the curled leaf margins. I've seen some come out with slight spotting in the first set of leaves and the successive leave were fine so I wouldn't panic yet, especially if you're doing everything according to what A/G says.
