I have a couple plants that the cot leafs are a mess on. On the 1159 Richars the cot's are growing but are curled up like a straw. Then on the 571 Jespen the cots are standing straight up toward the grow light and not really growing. Any idea what wold cause this. Thanks Kenny

Kenny how far away from the top of your plant to the light ? 3" to 4' is about right, if the plant still growes fine the cots wont matter

A couple days in the hoops with sun you'll be amazed Kenny,,,even setting the plants out to help harden will get them shaped up fast.

Agreed....There is nothing like real sunlight. Acclimate them for a couple days letting the plants gradually adjust to the sun.

I had curly cots even on my plants that I direct seeded in the garden. I don't think in my case it has anything to do with sunlight. I also don't think it has hurt anything. My best plant had curly cots.
