Short seedling?

2 weeks old, just transplanted to 5 gallon pot. Looks a bit droopy which I suspect is overwatering. My question though is she seems short. Leaves are growing more every day but not gaining in height. Is this normal? Too much light? 24/0, PPFD 250 (if I measured correctly).

Could be transplant shock, and a bit of overwatering. Give it a bit more time n don’t water it. Your lighting schedule at 24/0 is also problematic, all things need rest including plants. I would switch that down to 18/6 asap and allow it some down time. Look up your lights suggested hang height and compare it to what your giving and its dim setting, essentially you want to provide around 35-40 DLI per day, little less is also ok but little more is not. You can get a ruff estimate of your DLI using your lights manufactures PPFD maps of the lights model. Give it a bit of a google, ppfd to dli Good Luck!

Hello my friend, this response is logic after transplanting. Your light is definitely not too strong and enough for this phase of the grow. But 18/6 schedule is better in my opinion. I did a few test runs with Autoflowers on 18/6 and 20/4 and 24/0 and the 18/6 gave the best results. So long story short, this response is from transplanting. My advice change the light schedule to 18/6 Merry Christmas buddy! 💚

You have short internodal space. You say you have a ppfd measurement but I have had this problem and I find raising the light a bit. I find starting higher up and only lowering when they stretch some.
