@organoman , do you want to kill it? , pls dont listen to this advice @Sw015, seedlings dont need lumen big time, they just get toasted. iam givng my seedlings on a big space only 100 watt means for your space she just needs 25-50 watt ( depends in your distance) and they will be pretty fine my growspace is 150cmx 100 and the light is 40 cm away . and i have to watch them not to get burned if they get bigger, so you are always adjusting the light less is no problem,giving them to much they get toasted

She needs more lumens! Increase %, do not raise the light. Also, water the entire pot, not just next to the plant, roots don't grow into dry coco, the entire coco needs to be moist and you also need run off each time you irrigate.

Use the resulting growth patterns as your guide. Your growth nodes should start to put some space between each other. If that doesn't happen it's too much light. If the apical meristem (the 'trunk') elongates too much, it needs more light - it may turn pale and that's a sign of structural weakness from too much stretching. Take some notes about how much you give and how many days from sprout. This way you can pre-empt anything you see next time and avoid any excessive stretching or excessive stunting. At this point the nodes should be on top of each other, but the stem look sturdy enough to me. If you increase the light, do so a small amount and see what happens. The benefit of a tiny plant in the se early stages is that you can reduce a lights power, get it nice and close and save some watts. You don't need depth of light at this point, so weaker and cloer can provide as much as it can handle per day. I would suggest using a smaller pot to start. Ignore the myth about not transplantig autoflowers. What we do is actually "up-potting" and is not stressful only you go about it like some sort of mongoloid and absolutely molest the rootball for no reason. The problems of a large pot and tiny seedling are far more impractful than an up-potting. I've up-potted plants 400-500 times in 5 years and yet to see "transplant shock". That term comes from a real transplant that invovles cutting the roots of an already in-ground plant and moving it. "That" is extremelely stressful for a plant, but up-potting is not.

Not a lot of context here how many watts and distances and dim how ever your seedling looks very healthy she’s not to stringy and she’s not burnt, hope this helps
