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.

I did for my first time LST training during the week 3/4. I'm really wondering if I exaggerated on pulling she down. I do think she reacted well but she looks too small to being at week4?I have some small branches coming up but they are growing slowing compared to the main one

First grow. Seedling difference. Should i be worried?
Two seeds were planted at the same time, but after 5 days i see a significant difference between them. The bigger one has stretched pretty fast, but the other one had an issue with dropping the cask & now is two times smaller and shorter than the first one. Should i be worried?

First grow. Seems small. Barney's farm, Amnesia Haze Auto.
Just a first-timer looking for guidance during week 3-4 as she seems a bit small. If you have the time, please check out my diary. I'm eager to learn, have been taking daily pictures, and have been describing a few concerns there. I'll close this question tomorrow. Thank you!!!

Light intensity? Should I dim?
I'm having a light-science question. I have 5 bulbs, 11w each, total 55w. I know this is not much but anyway. Should I dim the lights for seedlings even If I have this low setup? I mean, does light intensity affects seedlings' health? Or 55w can work on a maximum level?

Plants are never taller than 13-15"? Even after adding a 2nd light (in 3g pots in a 3x4)! Tried both topDressing
After growing 5-6 diff strains (all FB and Meph) all my grows top out at maybe 13-15" tall. Are my lights (2x Maxsisun PB2000 pro) holding me back? Or is 3-4 too many? I'm in a 3x4 in 3g- total 430w or so. Added a 2nd light but still growing bushes. 😖 Add another 100w+? THANKS!

Should she be taller as an Autoflower? - day 18 10 cm
So I know auto-flowers grow short, but she's still about 10cm tall and smashing lateral growth Do any auto-flower growers know when the height starts to come? I'd be worried she was stunted if it wasn't for the new node forming quickly once again looking for reassurance

Is Top-fed DWC schedule ok?
Ive set 5minute schedule topfed DWC to avoid keeping the roots too soggy. My soil is made of 8 rockwool attached together to form a bigger cube and 1 rockwool on top where I placed the initial seed, to protect the roots. What you think? Are roots ok or too small?

Just to make sure my Lemon is doing alright
Although leaves look ok, my Lemon didn't do much in last couple days. Do you think this is normal for a sativa (only 3inches)? It'll hopefully catch up but still wanted to get your opinion. I hope I didn't do anything wrong with watering or it's not because of high temps? Thanks

Stumpy blue dream feminized.
I’m in my first grow, have 2 plants, one is in amazing shape, the second one is very short, although looking very healthy, its half the size, the leaves are very misshapen. Do you think this plant will survive? Or is it a lost cause. They are blue dream feminized. 26 days planted
