New seedlings growing fast. Help.

dig down VERY gently around roots brush off the soil slowly from roots and seperate them and wish for the best, the sooner you do it the better since as they grow the roots become more entangled, good luck

dman, I have three 26W twisties in this 30'' cabinet. Are you saying I need even more? It's tough as it is keeping the temp down.

Thanks

You are going to need WAY WAY more light. Lighting is figured by lumens per sq ft. You need 3000 lumens per sq ft for vegging and 5000 lumens per sq ft for flowering. So, figure the sq footage of your space, multiply this times 3000, and divide that by the amount of lumens your bulbs put out. The resulting answer is the number of bulbs you need to veg. When you get ready to flower, you will need a different light spectrum and about 40% more light. For example a space 30" x 36" is 7.5 sq ft. This requires 37,500 lumens. If your 26W bulbs are putting out 1800 lumens each,you would need 20 of them to be adequately lit. Controlling heat is one of the big problems with growing inside. Inadequate light and/or high temps will result in light airy buds.
