They are fine get a fan blowing them around gently will build up the stem.

All looks fine. So long as your light is the correct distance you won't get lanky seedlings.

Plants very bushy / too short (?) 5w from seed; 35cm from (600W) LED lamp
I'll put my question here as well for better visibility; Plants are very bushy and I'm not sure if I should prune subbranches or let them grow that way. I'm a little worried they'll lack space when they'll start flowering. It might be suboptimal as well. Thanks for helping me !

Stunted auto due to humidity. Will this grow any more or should I rip it out?
My gorilla cookies auto which is at week 5 stopped growing @ 2 nodes due to humidity dropping to below 25%. Humidity has been rectified around week 3 and now is back up to 45%. Plant now seems to be focused on budding but only has 1 very short cola. Would this get bigger or...?

Slow growing
I am having a problem with slow growing, not really sure why, I suspect this is related to over watering, this is Day 19. Anyone suspect there could be other reason?

My plant has entered in preflowering stage. It is an automatic from fastbuds. The thing is that it is really small and it has not even reached 3 weeks yet. Is this something I have to worry about? Will the growth get stucked or will it continue developing?

Growing out instead of up.
Please help out! I moved it into a new pot and topped it last week as suggested. Also new ViparSpectra light at 45cm away @80% power. Nutrients/food yet to arrive. It seems to just be growing out instead of up, and starting to see some white/ burnt looking spots. Suggestions?

One plant smaller?
One of my 4 plants is much smaller, the stem is much thinner and the leaves bend downward a quite an angle but otherwise it seems perfectly healthy and is still growing. Not a serious question just wandering if anyone had any thoughts on this. (Far left in the picture)

Mars Hyrdo TS600 - 100w but mistook for 600w
I've recently found out that the led light I have which is a Mars Hydro TS600 is not in fact 600w and is actually 100w. Do I need to compensate in any way? My plants look healthy but short, I don't want to put the light too far away that it's ineffective, how close is too close?

Is this stunted or normal?
This plant is 36 days old. Does it look behind or on track to you? I'm wondering if I stunted it or of I'm just over thinking it. I'd love to hear any feedback but especially want to know how you think the size is. Also light to weak? 54watt optic phantom

Plant healthy?
Unfortunately I resolved the previous post: Can anyone tell me if this lady is healthy? She started good but then leaf 3 startet to struggle same as leaf 4 now. I am using only a 6W LED in a short distance. What to do if it is overwatered/building roots at the stem?

Short, Bushy, Tight Node Spacing
My plants seem to be staying shorter and getting very bushy. Node spacing is super tight. Using a “2000 watt” LED that’s pulling 430W from the wall with the Veg and Bloom light both on. Should I turn bloom off? Or move the light a bit further away? Thoughts?
