I did have issues with stretching before I put in my new lights. I was just using two shitty lights I rigged up, and the sun when available. After I put in the 4ft fluorescent they improved drastically. The lights are probably 6 or so inches from them.
hi dude and welcome to
nice young one's there, i would go with adding a bit medium to make up for the stretch, thr would be no need for transplant at this stage.
would w8 on a few node's and some good true leafs appear before doing the transplant to reduce the chance of to much stress witch could lead you to a lose of your bby's. (would dofo rule out theMG gro!! go with FoxFarm,coco or biogrow all-mix is what i have started to use got sick of the hastle with coco as it is more for hydro kind of use.
for me i used plastic white cups 6" tall for the seedlings
mt 1st grow was with clones and used a 300w 6400K bulb
after 2 weeks under the 300w cfl!
just wondering what your plans were for your bbys when they start to bush out ? not sure your 4ft fluorescent will be enough light coverage! remembering the rule of the
with fluorescent + CFL's is to keep them within 6-10" from the tops of the plant.(this is there optimum distance for the light spectrum and for best grow result's)
a few weeks you may need additional lighting to cover side for under canopy (under the right circumstances with these light your growth will be vigorous)
the purple stems i would not worry to much about, some strains do this and other not,
all my white Russian plants have had deep purple stems since seedling stage 2 of my bag-seeds are all green stalked (guess its genetics a suppose ?)
if its healthy and growing healthy i would not worry bot the colour of the stems.
a bag seed plant healthy green stem!
W.russian healthy purple stem!
what kind of 4ft fluorescent u using (e.g T5 or other?) oh! and how many watt's??
on my current grow i was using a 125w CFL to start them off, with good results of all 10 going strong now under 400w hps.have had a few probs with nitrogen lockout! hence the change of there medium.
hope this will be of help dude.
happy growing
oh will you be doing a journal on this grow ?
