| Hi
I have a Question as a newby. I am growing butterhead lettuce under fluerscent lights about 2 inches from the bulb.
My leaf color looks good but they are curling under.
Too much fert?
Too much light?
Any help would be great
Thanks

| Lights may be too bright. More likely they are just overheating the leaves and causing dessication. Or perhaps they are too dry. Run a fan, or lift the lights a little, make sure they are watered. Also check that the temperature drops at least 10F at night. |

| I think Shrubs is right, some of my herbs were doing the same, and putting the light down a little seems to have helped. pm. |

I don't get it
shrubs says "lift the lights a little"
object16 says "putting the light down a little seems to have helped" Which is it, lift the lights, or put them down?
