its stretching a little bit, what % is your lights set to. Get a PPFD meter or app to measure the lights. Seedlings are usually 100-300 PPFD

For what it's worth, that's the kind of stretch I see when I pop them under sunlight. If par is too light, you'll likely see it in the node spacing.

The leaves look good, the leaves will bend towards the lights it's trying to reach. Get the free "photone" app both for apple and android its a free light meter on your phone, you will need to use a diffuser over your lense to give a good reading. I use a tiny sheet of Toilet paper works well. The light may need a little bump, i would use the app and see where you are at depending on your led wattage most never exceed 60% for seedlings. Before adjusting check your numbers. Easy to light burn seedlings

Have you or anyone ever tested the accuracy of this app with a real meter? I am using the app and was blown away when I found out about this. I'm not to tech savvy so I'm easily impressed. Sorry for cutting in this post just had a thought come through

Its not as accurate as a high end dedicated light meter, yet it works well enough for me. I never had to buy a expensive light meter vs using the app. The cheap meters dont do any better then the app does from talking to people. Its free and at least is available now to help diagnosis a possible issue vs ordering and waiting

Yea and stop using light setting percentages and start using par/ppfd , there will be less mistakes

Absolute PPFD readings are a must but a good LED light can be pretty dialed in if people follow the manufacturer height settings. Mine has been pretty close to the "rule of thumb" with % when verfied with ppfd. I use both height and power setting to dial in mine.

Update… The leaves look a bit weird to me dk why. They are curved

Most common is over watering, the seedlings do not take a lot of water. I always use a small spray bottle. Get a moisture probe and as the plant gets bigger you can figure out water based on the pots weight.

Give it a day to dry out. I went from hand watering to "butt chugging" my potted plants. No more mystery if you water enough them enough or not. Downside you have to wait till the roots spread out. Fabric pots are great as well since it help the soil dry out faster.

You can get auto water bases or make your own.

Didn’t water it for 8 days but started spraying it lightly yesterday. Do they look healthy to you? They are bending down a little but they are getting bigger maybe that’s why they are going down?

Try to keep the water off the leaves and just spray the soil, you can create burn spots on the leves with the dropplets.

It doesn't look bad, another thing that can cause it is stress in the environment. Cold temps swings, low humidity over or under watering. Key is to not panic and change a bunch of things at once. It makes it hard to figure out what causes issues. I would give it a day and get a moisture meter will help test the soil when they are this small

Plant looks great, totally normal. Don't fall into the trap of fucking with it too much thinking you need to be doing things. 75% of its growing is going on underground right now.

It's very easy to love them to death just stick to the basics and stay out of its way. 💚

I used the Photone app exclusively for years and always wondered how accurate it was. Then Christmas before last a friend of mine gave me a light meter as a thank you for all the weed I had given her. So i was able to compare the two and they were pretty close. On the low end around 300 ppfd the app reads around 20 lower and on the high end around 900 ppfd it reads around 40 lower so close enough for the home grower.
