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.

Should I Stop LSTing the Northern Lights Auto since its stretching a lot ?
as title says im comparing the shape of my plant to other growers and since I have been dropping the main cola height it has become more of a circle rather the long sticks ready to be filled with bud.

Short, Bushy, Tight Node Spacing
My plants seem to be staying shorter and getting very bushy. Node spacing is super tight. Using a â2000 wattâ LED thatâs 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?

Kein Wachstum nach 5 Tagen
Die Keimblätter seit 5 Tagen nicht sichtbar gewachsen. Wenig gegossen, seit 2 Tagen gar nicht mehr und Licht leuchtet mit ~200 PPFD auf den Sämling. Aus meinen letzten Grows weiss ich, dass geringfĂźgiges sichtbares GrĂśĂenwachstum da sein sollte. Kann ich was optimieren?

Should I switch to Flower
I am getting ready to flip to flower. She just doesnt seem to be growing any taller in Veg right now and not sure why. Most people say their plant grows 2-4 inches per week and mine just seems to limp along. Does anyone have ideas? Should I wait to switch to Flower?

Any ideas why 2/4 have grown much taller and the other 2/4 are shorter and bushier?
Does anybody know why 2/4 plants seem to be way taller than the other two? All four are meant to be the same strain, have all had the same conditions since day 1. Today i moved the taller plants to the left side of the tent and raised the shorter plants.

You are a SATIVA North Shore Maui! You grow tall like the sky! Strong like mountain! You are not descended from short plant!
Currently overthinking this plant's development. Pep talk not working. It is a sativa but the shortest plant in my garden. Maybe just needs a trim? The yellow is a concern too. I haven't dealt with a plant this bushy before so not sure if it needs help or not.
