    They are getting "leggy" reaching for the light. I would put a small fan to blow on them to strengthen them up. When I was starting seeds in a cold climate for spring transplanting I would leave the lights on 24/7. I would use normal fluorescent fixtures just an inch or so above the seedlings and raise as they grew.

    I used to be shocked when I would go to Alaska in the summer and see the vegetables they could produce in what is basically a 2 month growing season due to the extended time the sun is out.

    LED lights are not hot enough for that exercise. spot lights seems hot though.

    Just depends if it's for heat or light. thought Philippines would be hot enough lol
