Is my seedling stretching too much? - New Growers - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

EDIT: This thread has now become the grow journal for these plants.

Hey, guys. New grower here on my first grow. The strain is Green Ninja from Heavyweight Seeds.

It's about 3-4 days old and I'm getting worried that the light is too far away, causing my little seedling to stretch too much to reach for the light.

Here's my propagation setup.

Here's the little seedling in a root riot cube. It's just under 2.5 inches. I feel like it shouldn't have that much stem. If it is over stretching, should I transplant it to a solo cup, so that it can be closer to the light? I don't want to expose it to too much light either, though. Thanks in advance, dudes.

Plant it.

Like, in the tent or keep the solo cup in the dome?

Transplant it keep light a couple of inches away that light won't be to much for the seedling.

your seedling looks ok,

when potting just bury the stem up to where ever you want it to be.

if i have larger plants in with seedlings and i cant get the seedlings close to the light i will use a bigger pot with less medium and as the seedling stretches ill fill the pot up as needed. works ok

Needs to be replanted using the rooting cube. So, yes, replant/transplant into larger container inside your tent. Bring light much closer to plant. You won't fare much grown in a solo cup or with minimal fluorescent light.

Thanks, dudes. I just transplanted to a solo cup and the light is about 5-6 inches away now.

Once their ready, they'll be transplanted again to 3 gallon smart pots. One will be vegged as a mother underneath a 225w Growblu UFO. The other will be put into my tent to be veggies and flowered underneath a 400w Mars II. Can't wait!
