These little guys popped up before I had the flourescent light set up and I had placed an isulation mat under the heat mat. So I replaced the foam insulated mat with a bath towel and [finally] got DH to help me suspend the flourescent light from the ceiling. It has 4 - 48" tubes, 2 blue light and 2 red light, alternated and is placed just a few inches from the tops of these very leggy seedlings. My question: Is there anything I could or should do about it? Or just leave 'em alone? Here's a couple of pics. |
