New-Lighting?

Up front, sorry if this has already been asked or answered. Theres so much to read and learn! Obv. I'm new. But, have a few beauties with 4 leaves. Problem is that the stem seems weak and they look like they are "stretching" Do i ened to lower my light?
I'm using 2x 75w agro lights....I know shitty but budget kept me. They are about 2 feet above. The beauds are very green but seem "viney" if you will.
Thanks!

Lowering your lights would be a good start , keeps the stretch to a minimum , put your lights as close as you can , then put your hands underneath the lights palm down towards plants if you can handle the heat your plants probably can to . , you will know if you have the light to close if the leaves start to curl downwards , then just do a little adjusting . Thats my 2 cents worth hope it helps . :peace:

Hey,
Well i lost one :(. I think due one of my lights burning out. damn. But 4 are still strong. I think im doing everything right....but i'm still unclear about watering. HAve done soooo much reading. I like to mist them, but some people say this cuases the leafs to burn? Ive got them each in their own 6in pot. I dont want to overwater/underwater but dont know exactly how to do it. Sure, stick my finger in the soil, but do i just pour water/ how much? AH!
Thanks.
