Temp and stretching problems!

To be honest, I'm not seeing any difference between my 400w HP's sunmaster with added blue, and my 300w led for young plants.
As for plants falling over, I let them, they get up again. Your soil does look very dry though.

I wouldn't pot seedlings into such large pots, I found they send roots to the edges then to the bottom, then want repotting. So starting with smaller pots and potting up, even just once, gets the roots to fill all the soil much better.
well they are autos thats why i planted them to the final pot. Also i water the soil with a liter of water put the cracked seeds in and let it sit for a week so that the roots can dig in the soil in search of moisture .its just the surface thats dry.

Hello friends , im a noob and i want some advice. At 20/4 i planted the sprouted seeds to the soil and today they are as u can see them in the photos.BUT my problem is that the 2 of them that are just under the lights are stretching a little to much imo and im afraind they gonna fall over.Also i need to raise my temp some how.Im using Evergrow saga sco 560 led grow light(i think that the true wattage of this thing is 400W) that has 3 switches , one for red one for blue and one for white leds .Right now im having only the whites on and at a distance of 70 cm from plants and the temp inside the tent is 20.5-21.5 when lights on and 18.5 lights off.humidity 65-75%. Im thinking of opening and the blues lights on so it can produce more heat but im afraid of the result cause the company doesnt have any guidance for the lights.The other solution whoyld be to switch to an old 400 w hps but i whould prefer to grow them under leds.Any advice whould be helpful .THanks in advane mates!
Put your lights closer to your plants esp. if it's an autoflower
