3 week old to tall and stems not strong atall

They start out like that. Mind are always leggy when I start them indoors. I usually transplant to gallon pots around week three or so; when I do, I bury them a little deeper in the soil to shorten them a bit. Also, when they harden outdoors in the wind, those stems get good and strong.

The stretching is easy to fix when you up pot! I would be more worried about the lack of leaf growth! You could probably slow down the stretching by increasing the light intensity! And that might help the foliage! They don’t look terrible! But I would want to see a little more foliage after three weeks!

What kind of soil is that? Whatever it is looks like it could use some perlite. You can bury those stems when/if you up pot.

I agree with the lack of perlite

Newer grower, always have to re bury/ up pot

Looking good OP

Thankyou for the advice it's my first go at it on a budget so using shitty led lights which lack in heat so I've brought it down more for more heat and using less water because of the heat situation

Up potted plants look better. I know nothing about the fertilizers your using what's it say about how to use them? They don't need much food for now. I've been on a tight budget before, not now but years back. I gathered pots, dried cow poop to make a Nitrogen tea by soaking it in water for several days. You have about 2wks before they need food so use your skills to find free pots or sheep, cow poop for teas. Then look for perilite to help with drainage for that soil cause when roots can't breath they don't grow and problems will happen quick. Got a light for them?

That last pic made me chucle a bit there bro, I like the way you handle that problem but now she needs that soil around there at all times. A bigger pot to bury her deeper is the only way, i think you'll be fine for a few weeks.

They are only stretching, but the rest looks fine. Nice and green, 2 sets of leaves and the 3rd coming up. I.e: This one is just into week 4, also just getting her 3rd leaves.

What I would do (but it's always up to you!) Is get some supports for the meantime. Wooden skewers (yakitori sticks) are my go to with some plant clips or anything that can hold them up without pinching off the stem.

Feeding depends on your soil. The bag should tell you how much is in there before it's depleted and needs resaturation.

If your LED lights are grow specific lamps (IR, UV spectrum etc.), they should have specifics online that tell you the proper height and its intensity. If it's just a desk LED lamp, it'll be tough.

i.e: I am using 30W LED growlights, giving of near 0 heat so they can get nice and close. LED in general is also way better at providing more PPFD. Mine still ocassionally blind me when turned on.

Rest looks fine mate, don't worry.
