Top them, switch to 12/12 and keep the light as close as possible to the plants they are stretching for the light a bit. They look about the right size for 4 weeks though.

what do you mean by top them? and i cant keep the light close to them LED lights dont work right bc leds have spots with no light if they are to close like a array of dots (like pixles)

Topping - when you cut off top node. Sends hormones to rest of plant to make lower branches / nodes to grow faster.


May be a driver issue... Pm Rasser. He might be able to help with led problems. Look for him in led section.

You can keep them in veg as long as you want...but you can switvh to 12/12 as soo. As plants get about 8" tall. Plants are looking good but like hiroot said switch to c fl s better then what you have thier only like 20$ for a pack of 2 46wcfls will do way better get your self about 4 of those and it should do the trick.

You should switch to 12/12 as soon as possible. Remember, plants can double or even triple in size after switching to 12/12. Topping/training them will help them grow short and bushy instead of tall and skinny.
