:D Seeing if I can post this pic per the new directions... bear with me. I started planting seeds on the 15th of this month and have been transplanting things deeper all day to fix the leggy plants that I had. Hubby got me a shelf and several lights up today, hope that takes care of the spindly plants. It literally took one day for them to get too tall and spindly.

The lights need to almost touch the seedlings. And it will help if you cut off all but one on each pot. I use a sharp pair of scissors and cut all but the strongest one.

Yeah, I learned this the hard way as well. The light can be 1-2" above the plants or they start getting too leggy.

Good luck looks like you have a ton of stuff started!!

I havent gotten anything going yet, but hopefully next week I'll get some stuff started.
