Too much streching?

Hello!

This is my first grow(I might be worrying too much), but is it possible for the plant to stretch too much?

This plant is just over 2 weeks old.

Start doing some LSTing to you plant to make her grow more like a bush.

It looks like the stretching has stopped, so I'm guessing it's grown rather close to the light? That's good, that's the main way to stop stretching. Plants will tend to stretch when the roots start getting confined, as well, so you should consider going to a bigger pot. Do that, and keep it close to the lights, and that stem will thicken up, in a hurry. Also, an oscillating fan sweeping across them, will help, as well.

dude, ultra grow tip right here thats been around for ever, TRANSPLANT that sucker, first set of real 1 leafed leaves should be 1 inch above the soil line. So in theory the stock will be in the dirt and begin to grow new roots on it. And by the looks of it, it would Triple your root mass making your plant explode with growth.
