Help with Droopy Lettuce Seedlings?

17 years ago

Hi,

I'm pretty new to growing my own food and have recently been germinating lettuce seedlings. Unfortunately they look distinctly droopy as you can see here:

The broccoli, chile and tomato seedlings which are right next to them all seem fine. I have been watering (but not too much) and they get light (admittedly overcast dull Irish light) for about 2/3 of the day.

Any ideas? Perhaps I should transplant them into bigger pots indoors? We are still a good bit off last frost so I am reluctant to plant them out, at least for another month.
