Is this "Normal?"

"Sour diesel" autos.
7 days ago they spouted out of soil.
Promix hp, coco and perlite mix.
I think my original humidifier wasn't working properly.
They were stretching, then I found info online that said add more soil around the stem (ant hill style), and adjust the lights ...so I did.
My question now is...are they still stretching or is this height normal? Also, I have an oscillating fan (on the left) that blows on them. 8 minutes on and 4 mins off. I don't know if I can leave the fan on for good now, as originally, I didn't want too much air blowing on them. My current readings inside of my tent are
Temp.73.8F
Humidity 67%
VPD 1.0
DLI around 14
Ppfd is 230.
18/6 light schedule
Does everything look normal, and any tips would help, as this is my 1st grow.
P.s. the oscillating fan on the right isn't hooked up (waiting on a Splitter) and the little fan on the floor stays on, blowing away from the plants.

Most of my saplings have a tendency to stretch a bit more then I like before they put on stacks and I often add extra soil

Lower your light a bit
Put a fan pointed at the plant it will help strengthen up your stalks
Try and raise your temps up to the 78-82 range
 
As far as I can tell, everything looks dandy.

The seedling stretch is a mystery to me. I think it has something to do with LEDs and certain genetics, but its not detrimental, and you did good in burying the stems.

Like VA said, a little more warmth couldnt hurt. Youre on a clock, so every bit helps, but they look happy.

Sounds good, thanks
