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.

Structure question: worth growing out?
PSA: don't interfere with leggy seedlings. You'll only do more harm than good. I tampered with these as I would leggy tomatoes. The stems have broken surface end of week 4 and I'm worried they're not going to hold any late weight.. Should I just scrap this run? I have beans 😅

Small plant thin stems ?
Growing autoflowers in greenhouse in Euro climate. I’m finding that my plants end up with thin stems but of average height. Yields are small but only using 7gallon pots with water only. Any ideas on why that is ?

Is she a runt?
Would my front cbd crack (Urbie) be considered a "runt"? Or is she a nice size? She's identically topped to the one in the back corner with the blue name stake. Same time planting, same everything. Thanks.

Reccommended Additives other than the base 3 Cal-Mag
Would like to know if I should be adding any other nutrients than the cal-mag, flora micro, grow, and bloom. I see some post with several other additives. Growth is kind of slow. Thank you!

Height of plant
All 3 of my plants are different sizes. Next time I’m only gonna grow one strain at a time unless there’s a way to speed up the growth of the other two. I have a yellow spectrum light I was using for veg that I can put on the left of my grow tent & then put the flowering light?

Stunted or Impatient?
Feels like the plant hasn't done anything in 2 weeks while this is only day 18 after sprouting from medium. Leaves always droopy no matter if I give a lot of water or too little. Leaves feel like paper, but giving more water doesn't change anything. Stunted or am I impatient?

Stunted growth?
Why is this Indica so short? Week 5 of Flower finds this otherwise healthy Blue God standing tall at only 15” from the soil. Five week Veg?, 3100K lites?, I have no solid reasons to this point. Funny because it’s the first plant Indoors that I have not Shaped or HST’d.

Suspected nitrogen toxicity?
Does anybody have any insight and suggestions for what's going on with plants 2 and 3? I'm treating them for suspected nitrogen toxicity, feeding them calmag-only water. Their runoff EC is still 800-1100 though, which is below influent EC.

White Widow auto height
My white widows auto's are in pre-flower right now after 3 weeks veg or 4 weeks after seed in soil. Ofcourse I want them to be taller and have more branches for more yield. Will they still grow these upcoming weeks? Or did I count wrong and they are still in late veg?
