plants stretching? also pics

this is 2 of my plants and what doo i doo there rightt next to the cfls like not even 2 inches away!!!!

Doesn't look like they're stretching that much.

When you transplant then you could bury part of the stem under the dirt.

Yea i did tht with the bigger ones i already transplanted, but the fan leaves being that far up os okay?

You can cover the stem up to the fan leaves.

not to the cotlyedons?

Too soon to transplant. Wait untill after the cotlyedons have withered and you have more sets of real leaves then bury up to the first node

doesn't look like stretching to me

lol. wtf are you talking about stretching? they are growing dude. stretch refers to the space between the nodes. you have 2 nodes really, the cotlyedons and the first set of leaves, from what i can tell the space between the 2 is about 1/2 an inch?

i wouldnt worry unless the inter-node spacing is more than 2 inches or so.

leave them where they are, and in 2 weeks, stick them in 6in pots. dont bury them up to the cotlyedons, thats not always a good idea. you want some space between the dirt and the first set of leaves for airflow.

they look fine. stop worrying

lol thankk you its my first grow so im very anxious. and im starting with alotttt of plants so that makes me more crazy thanks for the help tho

those leaves pointing upward is a sign of intense feeding. those babies are eating man, thats a good sign. they look happy. If they start drooping and looking shitty then you have a problem.

dont be anxious, be patient, takes a good amount , especially on your first grow because you will lose plants, and gain experience, just always read and do research, and when you see a technique you have never heard, take a note of it and do research on that, make a hobby of this, and when you will run into the problem you already have your answer. and of course when you do have questions, google and Rollitup community is your best sources.

good luck
