Can you pray too hard?

My Diabolo's Delight XL Auto is raising it's leave to almost vertical level on day 7. Is that too much? If yes, what can be done about it? The other seedlings next to it are not as hyped as this one. All others are just raising their leaves slightly above horizontal

Not all praying is a good thing. too little light will cause exaggerated praying that isn't necessarily a positive thing, but will correct itself with a little stretch.. or you adjusting light. Too much light will actually cause leaves to push each other upward - moreso with a smaller plant. In the end, how it grows is verification of light being in harmony with climate and ambient co2. too much or too little is relative to that and it is itself variable. The more consistent those variables are, the more consistent the plant will be. lots of moving chairs here when it's an open-ended question. existing node spacing says it was getting the right amount.. some internode forming but not stretched out. Assuming you didn't make any massive change to light intensity already, I'd wager this plant is about to need more light. However you ramp up to full vege light, time to start that process. unless you are growing smaller plants on a faster timeline, this early node spacing can be used as trial and error for light intensity. They won't be used in any larger plant anyway.. doomed to be lollipopped. No biggie if morphology isn't exactly what you want, but will show you the path to it relative to the environment you provide. Get it growing the way you want, take a measurement, even klux would be sufficient for this context, and maintain. May see seasonal differences, but shouldn't require much adjustment once it's worked out.
