I have recently planted some seeds in preparation for spring planting There are nastertiums, holly hocks and english daisies coming up. I have them under grow lights and they seem to be streching a lot. Are they supposed to do that? Is it because of the direct light? They are about 2 ft from the light, should they be closer? Any info would be much appreciated.

From what i've read here they can be as close as 12 inches from the grow light, because it is a cool light. And over fertilizing can cause some things to be leggy.

The nasturtiums are the ones I was most worried about. I asked my boss and he said they tend to do that for a few weeks, then take off like nothing else. I guess I didn't realize they could be that close. I just potted them up so they are three to a pot. Thanks!
