My 1 day old seedling is about 4 inches in height and has tapered in the middle to a really skinny point and it's done this in the space of 12 hours? What is happening?

Drop your light. Inch at a time. That's what I would do.

How close/intense is you light? Stretching is a sign of too little/too weak lighting

Growing to fast?
Is there such a thing as the plant growing too fast? It has quadrupled its height in as many days causing it to sort of flop to the side. The leaves are getting bigger but nowhere near the rate that it's growing taller. Is this normal for strawberry cough? #newtothis

enlonged buds
The younger plant has developed flowers in an enlonged shape. The plant herself has grew a lot during her cycle (plant on the left day 72) and I can't understand the reason. Maybe some stress due to the hot temperature in the box during the veg (30ºC as peaks sometimes).Any idea?

Are these stretching? What should I do for the 2x top that barely sprouted?
Viparspectra xs2000. Just moved it to a 25" distance and 50% light intensity hoping it'll help, but unsure if it'll burn them? What should I do? Top 2x seeds JUST sprouted and are just barely above the soil. How to accommodate all plants regarding light intensity and distance?

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.

I have a bit of an unconventional question :D How stop stretch/grow and start flowering in autoflowers?
Is it possible stop the growth or is it possible to switch my autoflower with change photoperiod like a normal flower? I'm starting to worry that I won't fit in the tent. How much more can they grow? The height is now about 30cm. End of 4th week.

Will this branch hold? Newbie
Currently 10 days in too flower. I’m worried that this branch will snap at one point. Did I over do LST? I laid it flat to counter balance it from the main stem.
