I have a Parks Bio Dome. I put the seeds in the medium and add the water then cover with the lid. I put it under lights. A few days later I am excited because things start popping up.
Here's what happens then, however. Some get tall and thin. Some don't come up. Then I took the cover off. the lights are about 5 - 6 inches above the tops. A few more start to pop up but some are dead at the top.
I see pics here and in the Parks catalog of short full plants. Mine don't do that. I have heard that if the lights are too high then the seedlings will get tall and leggy.
I'm sure it's me, but not sure what part I'm doing wrong.
TIA
