Guys and Gals,
I need help. I cannot seem to get my hydroponic plants to grow properly. When the seeds germinate the seedlings appear and open the first two leaves and reach for the lights. The seedlings are very spindly and unable to support there own weight. I stake them out and eventually the second leaves appear but the plant remain spindly. I am using high quality nutrients, 1 gallon per hour emmiters on my top feed drip system, and the PH and TDS are all in the perfect ranges. I maintain good airflow and keep the temp in the growth range consistently. I use a T-5 6400 K light approxamately 2-4 inches above the seedlings. Anybody have any idea what the heck I am doing wrong? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. So far hydroponics has been somewhat less than it has been advertised to be with no 35% faster growth and bigger better plants. It has been a source of dissappointment for a couple of months now. So any help would be appreciated.
