Attached are some photos of what I got going on in my 2x2. How she look? Any and all advice, suggestions, and opinions accepted. She’s just a random seed from the bottom of the stash… I thought to my self “let’s see what happens”
Also, is the light too close to the humidifier? My humidifier goes on and off all day so I’m nervous the vapor will ruin the lights? No wet spot has built up or anything. Thanks guys!

Set up looks good 👍 I would put something under the cups to keep run off from leaking onto tent floor you want to keep the water off the tent floor and put something inside whatever you use to catch water to keep the cups from sitting in water. You need the cups to be able to drain and you want to keep the bottom of the cups from sitting in water. This will give you proper air flow all around the cut. Your seedlings must have good air flow and no standing water.

What is the light manufacturer recommendations for your light height for young seedlings?

Yeah for seedling stage about 18inchs is optimal according to manufacturer. But here are some photos of about a day and a half later or so. I noticed she is a bit droopy at the leaves. Let me know what you think or what I should do :)

Gettin Leggy - Add dry coco/soil filling about 1/2"inch from the top of the cup (it will support her), and when you water dont water next to the stem or she'll dampen-off. good luck.

Yes you definitely need to top off the cup till 1/2 inch from the top of cup. I would lower the lights by a few inches that should stop the stretching you want a more compact stem for your plant not a long skinny flimsy stem you have to support for it to stand. If the lights are too close they can burn the leaves 🍃 but if they are not close enough then will grow too tall too fast given you a thin weak stem. The manufacturers give us a good base line as to how high lights should be for each stage of growth but each variety of cannabis has its unique needs. We use recommended heights and fine tune that height to plants needs. Keep good records because the numbers usually stay the same for each breed. Hope this is of help for you

Thanks a lot you guys for all the advice. This is my first grow so I need all the help I can get! Anyways, I filled up the cup with some more soil. I think the stretching might have stopped and she picked her leaves back up. How do I know when to give her more water? It’s been a few days now…

1 shot glass (1 ounce) of water every other day, just a taproot in there, she can barely uptake 1ml per day - water a 1/2"inch away from the stem. (in the photo the cup already looks wet enough).

Creepy they are looking great 👍 I think you will be happy with your first grow..You started the grow off the best way you could have by simple saying this is my first grow and asking for help. Wish I could have been smart enough to ask for help on day one. No my dumb butt waited till they were half dead before I asked for help half the people told me to toss my plants but the other helped me enough for me to get a little below average grow. That's when I learned the value of ground forums and the power of asking for help. You are well on your way to many nice grows.
