These autos are growing naturally in the Mediterranean sun on our balcony. My plan is to move them under an led lamp in around 5 weeks time as that's the soonest I can get my hands on one. Unfortunately there only getting 4/5hours direct sun per day. Will this be enough for now?

hey there Tamber, what's happening is the 4 hours of sun is actually not enough, and that's why the seedlings are "stretching" , growing too tall, show signs of stress like a red stem. Overall, it will be alright, but right now and in the mean time, you do need to manage the stretch. that means you'll have to monitor and provide support to the stretched out plants either by adding a bit more soil at the base of the plant or even using stakes etc trying to replicate LST. Hope this helps ! 🚀
