So basically these babies are 14 days old from seed. I feel like they are stretching a bit, the stems are very long compared to the leaves. But maybe I'm just a newb, and they're fine. You tell me. (Journal at http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-gr...ttic-grow.html)

Don't mind the color, these were taken with the light on.

Your plants aren't stretching, they are normal. Keep doing exactly what your doing, and make sure to allow your soil to almost dry out or become light between waterings. Remember to check our PH in out consistently so that you know its within range.
