Hey All, my first time here.

On 8/27 I germinated & planted 5 Haze seeds and 4 came up right away. After about a week they were growing strong untill one of them kinda fell over. The leaves were pointed to my grow light, so I kinda propped it up on a stick.

I am trying not to over water, and waiting till the soil drys up b4 watering. Do I need to water more often?...maybe?

They are now about 7 inches tall with 2 leaves so far. This morning (2 weeks old) I checked on 'em and the other 3 were bent over too!!
The leaves are pointing to the grow light so I propped them up, and then watered them.

I dont see root rot, and the leaves are spotless and have great color.

I have a grow box and the RH is about 45, with temp at 73 - 78f. The light is timered at 6 hours off, 18 hours on, and I'm using a single 65w gro light. I have the light about 2 ft from the plants.

I have been looking around and I notice everyone elses seedlings are half the highth as mine with twice the amount of leaves. Its been about 25 years since I planted MJ and I remember they were sort of tall and spindly too at first, but they produced just fine.

I have just planted 5 more seedlings and I hope to resolve this problem so that I dont run into this with them also.
Thanx for your help and suggestions.
