Any advice? About 1.5" beneath the first set of leaves. Just lowered my 8 bulb (4 Bulbs lit) T-5 to about 30" above, previously were 36" -48" above. Sprouted 3 days ago.

You might have to go even closer, keep watch on that stretch...
 
lol dude not even anything to worry about. you can let them stretch to the point that theyre horizontal and they'll come back fine usually. those don't look anywhere close to threatening the health of that seedling at all. put lights close to prevent it getting worse but even if it gets a bit worse, it still won't do anything to them.
 
No expert but mine always looked like that, I figured I just didn't bury the seed deep enough, but never caused issues either way. Once they have filled out their roots after the first week or two they really go for it, and you'll be surprised how fast they beef up.
 
Quick update. The ladies are growing just fine and thanks for everyone's advice and confidence in my grow. Starting to see some yellowing on the first node but I suspect since pH is right on at 5.8 then its likely the day I planted the seed I used:

5ml/gallon of Shark
2.5ml/gallon of General Hydroponics Root Starter
and
5ml/gallon of Soul Grow.

Probably shocked the shit out of them rooting out of the seed. Only pH water now and a good flush right after I realized it.

Only water for the next month before their first transplant to Roots Organic Coco. All thoughts and comments are welcome.
