Seedlings Praying or lights too close?

Okay cool. Thanks for the reply. Yeah, my lights suck lol. Kinda trying to keep cost down and low key. So I know my plants will be small and lower yield
Yeah they are probably 3-4 inches away and i don't really feel any heat doing the hand test
I don't really know lol. and currently have a 23w above each plant plus a 26w led. Hardly anything but they seem to be doing good besides the first day where they stretched. The one on the right is actually only 2 days from seed and already got the next leaves coming in
Lol bro I haven't figured out how to like posts or else I would i just made this yesterdayFair enough, just keep the lights close and hope for the best! Don't forget to give me some likes
Yeah lol I don't have it anywhereIt's the thumbs up with the word "like" beside it

I think the 26w leds alone should be ok to grow a seedling that small. I grew my plants out to their first node under a 30w purple led set, and they were fine so long as I kept the light close.
Do you happen to know the color temperature of each of those bulbs? It should be a number like "3000k."
Also, while it makes sense to keep the leds above the plants, consider maybe moving the cfls down between the plants when they start stretching and budding.

Definitely stretching. lower light
Yeah all I have is reply and report
Yeah i adjusted light after first day and stretching seems to have stopped. Here they are this morning after dark period. The one on the right doing it now so i guess they are happy besides the fact i could have better lights. Do the cotlyedons typically do that too how it is with the one on the right?

The CFLs are 3000 and the LED I'm unsure of but similar ones online have 4100 which I know isn't optimal. I'm trying to keep it small and low key. My only concern going with better bulbs is I'd need to get better lamps to be safe and not start a fire
