"Leggy" seedlings....

So been having a problem with leggy seedlings. I just tend to backfill at transplant but is there anything I can do to keep that initial stretch down?

need them in fairly strong light the moment they pop from soil -- without over doing it. maybe a tad lower than later in vege.

Not enough light. They are stretching for more light.

Hello.. Hope you are well.. Let her get rooted up in pots then transplant them.. Wen they get a bit more height n bit bigger than now simply top her(cut her top head off) u can also place a paperclip around her top an bend her over very gently do not to break her stem-this is basic lst-ing(i wudnt try thud just yet if ur a beginner tbh)..stay safe n gud luck with her.. 👍🍀

To help slow stretch, keep your lights closer or use a more powerful light at distance. Check out my first grow for tips tricks and to learn what not to do. Cheers and happy growing!

Hi buddy don't worry :-) Wait a little while repotting, then the bale can root through properly. And because of the stretch, don't worry. Simply insert it a little deeper then the problem is solved 👍 Keep it up your plants look great 😍👏🏻
