I read last night about re planting them and burying the stem almost all the way to reduce the height of the plant, this is perfectly ok to Do? Maybe I can do this today and re mix my pots with the soil perlite and peatmoss. I also moved them closer today like you said

Its not your light schedule, you need to get those CFL closer to the plants. If you can control them temps, you can drop them to within 2-3" from the top.

You can bury them up to within half an inch from the first leaf set, but if you don't fix the lights, you will have the same problem.

1424721537827.jpg Awesome, thanks ! I just added 2 more cfls so I have 4 of the 75w that give off 1400 lumens each so aprox. 5600 lumens. I also moved them closer they are about 3 inches from the lights . Today I will try to bury the stems close to that first leaf.

What everyone Day 10. Lights out at 12am. I decided against deprivation of water. They were like um.... you want successful veg period right and i was yes please...lol But as you can see this grow is going so well. Im a simple keen minded person this helps... Im using Dyna gro, coffee grain nitro juice, and tap water. I squirt through out the day so that they sont dry and become hard as it seemed to happen heaters are no joke... so i let the temp stay at a strong 76 degrees. At times i get it up to 79 and mist them or squirt them and lite warm air flow they are happy though. A few more days and tranfer into 1gallon smart pots. I just added some 3-4-6 Espoma garden-tone (1) 1/4 scoop around the top but not by the stem. Hope this helps someone or encourages them...IMG_20150224_141913.jpg IMG_20150224_184420.jpg IMG_20150224_181142.jpg IMG_20150224_141918.jpg IMG_20150224_153205.jpg IMG_20150224_091821.jpg

Yea Im with you... Thats why it would be best for him to tie them down which will slow growth for a few days until they understand what he needs them to do. It would enable him to lower lights for short closer nodes. You know what I mean?! But You see how my lights are right there up enough where they are receiving great top light. Too close with splitters no light really hitting center... then side lighting already with another 500w coming for my canopy when I start it...Grow it dont throw it...IMG_20150224_225412.jpg This is how you want to doit first two-three weeks...Its about getting as much energy into your plant without hurting her or yourself for that matter.

What purpose do the white circles covering the dirt serve?
