Long, spindly, seedlings. First time urban farmer...


I've started seeds indoors using a Hydrofarm CK64060 Hot House, Heat Mat . After w week the sprouts broke through the


soil, but I've kept the greenhouse dome on, the heat mat beneath the tray, and have only been putting in direct sunlight


for an hour to two hours a day. Now the seedlings are long and spindly. I've read that keeping the seedlings under the


dome, not providing enough light, lack of air, and constant heat from that mat, may all be he culprit.


Question: is all lost? please see pics. Should I start again, or are these OK to continue to grow for transplanting?


Pics to soon follow.


Also, I don't have a florescent light. Maybe very necessary?
