I thought this would go without saying but... Yes, your seedling needs light.
It should have 2 under developed Cotyledon. These will be the first leaves.
Do not drown it, make sure the soil is just moist but never dry.
Your light should be 5-6 inches away Mh or HPS, 2-3 CFL.

lol it isn't a cotyledon, cotyledons are just the round leaves. Yes it needs light otherwise it will just stretch like this funny hey

He said he just popped the beans, the shell just came off.
E.G. the single prong (or 1st serrated) leaves would not have shown yet.
Something like this:

But the shell removed.
So those are the cotyledon, under developed as i stated are they not? Or is it I who is mistaken?

A Sprout, (the plant in your picture) grows rapidly in this phase of it's life. Getting almost all of it's energy from the starches stored in the Cotyledons.
An elongated shoot at this stage of growth is normal. There's accelerated growth, Getting into the sun above other competing plants is the name of the game.

Odd, I didn't get that impression from your Mainline Grow.
That shit looks right proper.
If thats improv, I'd love to see you do a run with some forethought lol.
