Some of you may remember that I started some chilli seeds in the airing cupboard, and becuase of the lack of light, they were very leggy.
If seedlings start leggy, will they always be leggy ?? ie have large verticle gaps between branches ?? Or will it just be the stalk below the first set of leaves that will be a little too long ??


The latter.


OK - thanks to both of you....
