Someone tell me the next move please. Planted a week ago, just hoping for a tiny family harvest for first-timers

You need a better light, also probably stake those up instead of tie them down this early if they’re not standing in their own. When you transplant you can bury some of the stem here, but you’ll definitely need more light.
 
Those girls are past ready for a stronger light. That's why they're so tall and skinny. They are reaching for more intense light. Have you planned anything? Your intentions for a personal harvest are great but what are you trying to produce? With this being your first shot are you just shooting for the moon?
 
Thank you guys so much for your advice! It is our first attempt and we are shooting for the moon I guess lol. I'll plant em deep and temper my expectations
 
Let your dreams ride bro,
without expectation,
everything is a surprise.
Anyway what kind of medium are you thinking about using? Do you have lighting? What kind, how strong? It is way too late to try to start something outside. What feed/ nutrients are you going to give them? And your biggest factor, what will your growing environment be like?
These are the basics, get these tuned in just right and it'll be cake. If you have time to listen, "Dude Grows Show" podcast has 1200+episodes going back to 2014. There's is a LOT of good info they are sharing. And they are still putting out new episodes. They have taught me so much.
 
I’d just start with one or 2 plants with that little light. Buy a better light. They have cheap led on Amazon. I just bought I guess what you call a budget light lol. Less than 200 dollars. Very reasonable IMO
 

The Best Deals Thread. Post Best Deals And Lowest Prices Links

I thought it would be cool to have a running thread dedicated to the best links to buy from that has the lowest prices ansd best deals. It would save alot of time,trouble and ppl posting asking.. I have a few links to get it started.. I cant speak on behalf of these items as the only ones I...
rollitup.org
I wish I'd had known about R.I.U. and this thread in particular. Lots of half decent cheap lights.
 
You don't need a dome for seedlings. That's a good way for them to dampen off. The dome also prevents you from getting the light close enough to prevent that stretching.

T5's are fine for starting seedlings and you can even veg under them but you'll need at least a 4 bulb fixture with the high output lights.
