First Grow Help

Greetings fellow horticulturists.

This is my first grow. I have six plants planted in individual pots and they are all about a week old. Recently, they started drooping a little.

I've searched on these forums and I believe it is because the lights are too far away, but wanted to post here just to be sure. The picture I am attaching is of the worst condition plant out of the six.

Custom Grow Box:

• 5 26w CFL Soft White Lights. ~1.25 feet from the plants.
• "Emergency Blanket" covering the walls, ceiling, floor.
• Jungle Growth soil, pH 6.7
• 72-78 degrees avg. temp with 20-35% humidity.

The other five plants seem to be doing ok. There is one other on that is drooping a little but not as bad as this one. Trying to maintain a watering schedule of once every 2-3 days.

She is crying for LIGHT More power Scotty

How come you planted them so deep in the pot, that's no good..

More soil?

deff more soil.

Definately need more soil. Need to bring it up to the top so the roots have room to grow. However transplanting this early could stunt it horribly. I'd wait a week possibly two, then take it out and fill it to the top. Also some more light will help.

The droopy leaves could mean many things... and I'm no expert. I'm only a little further than you into my first grow, however I've read countless books and forums. My opinion is the droopyness is comming from overwatering. That pot have drain holes?

how big do indoor seeds grow? Is it still SOP to "top" the plant to force it to widen instead of tall?

mine is topped, but growing like a motherfucker.i had to tie her down
