I don't know whether to be surprised or concerned? This was taken this morning about 930am after the grow lights (which is on a timer set for 6am to 6pm) had been on for 3 1/2 hours. The stem grew about another inch out of the starting medium and the cotyledons looked like they close somewhat overnight. A couple hours before the lights are set to turn off, I turn the bulbs back on for heat overnight since the temperature inside the shop is only 45 degrees. Maybe too much bottom heat? I'll set the grow lights to stay on a little longer (6a to 11pm) and leave the bulbs for bottom heat off and see what happens. When only the grow lights are on the soil temp was 67 degrees. This morning before I unplugged the 75 watt bulbs (turned waaay down) the soil temperature was 85.
