My first seedlings what you think?

[GoedlyGrows]

I’ve started growing Double Grape and Sour stomper and I’m wondering how they look cause I feel like I’m doing something wrong. Any tips or advice is amazing

Also I could give more pictures if needed sorry for the bad angles

Something I try to do when I start seedlings, is to leave room for extra soil. Start them shallow and back fill when they get leggy

Will write this in my journal for my next set of seeds. My main problem right now is I feel like they are to leggy they want to hang over a bit even after I lowered the light

You could always just move top soil from the sides to the stem. Make like a support mound

Okay that’s what I’ve been nice to know it was a nice approach thank you so much

Ah that’s easy sorted as bb22 said that plus a light breeze from a fan that’s not pointing directly on them will thicken them up as they go along

If there not in there final pot you can easy sort it out when transplanting

They are currently planted in their final pots. I should also mention these are Autoflowers, but considering the amount of comments here and other places people have been giving. Im considering starting my next batch in solo cups or seedling blocks then transplanting them into their final homes.

Autos I always start & finish in there final pots
Tried transplanting autos & it just doesn’t work out good no matter how careful you are

Transplanting is highly stressful even if you have been doing it for years it always takes a few days till it starts putting energy into vegging again instead of putting all its energy into rooting.

Don’t take my word try it next time if you wish & experiment yourself it’s the best way to learn well not the best but you see the difference yourself & that’s invaluable

Put a stick in the soil next to the stem and tie up the plant so it's straight. Adding soil does this, too. Either or both is okay. I use wooden skewer sticks and pipe cleaners, but many things will work. Many folks use garden wire.

Young plants grow toward light (phototropism). They'll stretch when the light intensity is inadequate. So, after you straighten up the plants, let them adjust, then increase the light power or move it closer. That should help.

Just did this with fixing them I got the tops to point towards the light now, I’m supporting them to let them stretch a little I raised the light like 4inches. Also when should I give them their first bit of nutrients, I’m going organic I was on a tight budget when I got the stuff I needed I have 4-4-4 right now will that hold them when they need food until I can get more specific additives like blood meal and such?

you could go the whole grow feeding them 4-4-4 gaia green and do fine..
in flower the need for a boost in calcium magnesium phosphorus potassium can be applied on top of the 4-4-4,..
