Hi there, They look fine, no worries. Try not to overwater at this stage. They're in relatively large pots and water need is at minimum. Good luck.

Not too tall, you good for now as long as they dont seem lanky you good Make sure to put LED closer to them just by couple cm should be enough Try downloading the Photon app, it will tell you your light intensity under your LEDs. It will be easier for you once you got those numbers :) Good luck with the photos, you'll do great. Great decision to try photos, never went back to autos since I did the move

A little, but not terribly. Top up the soil a bit....you can bury about an inch of stem. Also, increase light intensity slightly, either percentage or lower the height and you should resolve this issue. Photos are better in my opinion for learning, they are not on a fixed schedule and can handle small mistakes better.....and the best thing....YOU control when flowering occurs and only when you are happy with the size.

Possibly.. just make sure not to overreact. You are giving too much if those nodes don't space out in a healthy manner over time. Take notes of what works well to eliminate the anxiety next time. a light meter can help. Regardless, it's a matter of trial and error as local variables and genetic variety impact exactly what you 'should' do. photos are not different from autos except for how the start flower phase. It's just a plant. Don't overthink it. Most of the dogma out there about the plants being different is baed on erroneous anecdote. it gets repeated enough that the mob thinks it is true... like eating ivermectin for a viral infection, BWahah. i would also suggest potting up over time.. using size-appropriate pots are easier to irrigate properly and promote a healthy rootball development. Watering methods for a tiny plant in a huge pot add unnecessary risk and are a pain in the ass to water correctly. Make sure that moisture drives all the way down or else you train a bunch of superficial roots. Also, when you put up, you can correct minor stretching issues buy burying it a bit deeper -- don't over do it.. ~2" is probably as much stem as you want to bury. it too carries a little risk of rotting the stem, but more times than not won't be an issue if not overdone. that newly buried portion of stem will eventually grow roots, too.

Not too bad but you still could ad soil up to the cotyledons or set her a bit deeper.she will grow roots there

Hi Honestly, she's not too bad! She looks for the light a little, but nothing dramatic. For a first time with photos, it's even rather clean. If you find that it still 'stretches', move your lamp a little closer or increase the intensity by 10%. The advantage of photos is that we have time to correct things during growth, unlike cars." I wish you a good evening and very good cultures
