[QUOTE="catman529, post: 3190406, member: 9284"] They need more light ASAP, or they will get leggy, aka tall and spindly and weak. If you have a fluorescent shop light you can keep them under that and keep it no more than a few inches above the plants. You can put them in the window too, but it should be south facing and receive as much sunlight as possible. Still a window is not really enough light per day, but it is better than nothing. If you put them under a shop light then leave it on 12+ hrs per day. This is my grow light setup - [img]http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee485/catman529/9DCBF92E-B344-43D6-897F-F09C0DAB8C62-12497-0000160F23FDBF7B_zps9db7d401.jpg[/img] When it comes time to put them in the ground, they have to be hardened off, which means starting by putting them in a shady spot outside for a few hours during the day, and gradually increasing their sunlight and wind exposure over the course of one or two weeks until they can be left out 24/7. If you put them straight in full sun the leaves will burn. Good luck [/QUOTE]
