Lighting, heat, soil content/nutrients/additives are the main factors in stretching, as they affect hormonal balance. It's not just light that causes stretching. Yours doesn't seem to be stretching particularly excessively, probably just wants a little more light. If you want to you can top up the soil a bit and it'll just grow some more roots from the stem.

Just about. I would give them 20h light, should prevent further stretching.

Organomananswered grow question 4y ago

Soil amount will have absolutely no bearing on "stretch". Stretch only occurs when the light intensity is too low. Although your seedlings do look fine, they are stretching a bit, so try lowering your light(s) a small amount or upping its percentage if you have a light with a variable intensity dial. Hope this helps,......... Organoman.

Thin Elongated Bud Stems Can anyone tell me why the bud sites have grown these elongated thin stems on one plant and not the other? Also noticed it has much less foliage. Maybe it's down to the main stem snap in week 3/4?

Weak and too long stalk?Stalk looks to be very thin and weak. The head (leafs) seems to be kind of too heavy for the plant. It was very long too but I added some more soil for more stability. There was a short time without sun because I was not at home. It doesn't looks like other people's plants. Is it all fine?

Plant too tall solution I already know it's because it didn't had the light for around a week (I was away) and that I should repot it and burry it up to it's cotyledons. - I don't really want to do that, because it's 8L pot and the plant is really delicate. Is it okay what I did?

Stretched?First time grower here. My plan was to keep these on my windowsill for 2 weeks before I move them outside for my outdoor grow. With them starting to look leggy, should I stick to the plan, or move them out early?Weather is currently cool 14c with intermittent sun.
