GrowCNanswered grow question 3 years ago Your light should be directly overhead. The pots are small enough that you should be able to push them together so the plants grow vertically. At about this phase they should be able to stand without support so you might need to move the light a bit closer. Then, once the plants can stand on their own I light to have a fan buffet them (make them move) which can force the plant to grow a stronger stem.
