help for long stems
Hello all,
I know this question is in discussion,but I have a couple questions on the
matter. I have 4 plants up all with a stem 3+ inches long and the seed
leaves are fully open with no true leaves yet. This is due to lack of light
on my part,they only got about half of the time they should of outside in
the sun on a daily basis. the stems are thick and appear healthy. I need to
transplant TODAY,as they have pushed roots through thier 4" peat pots. A
chance for more colder weather is on the way,so putting out in the patch is
not a option(besides it's too wet now.) Will it be okay to transplant them
to half gallon pots,put a small stake to hold the stem up,and get a 4' shop
light on them to increase the light they receive? And how long will I need
to leave the lights on if I can't get them outside? These are my first
seedlings,and I don't want to lose them,any help on this is appreciated!
THANKS,
