Are my seedlings ok? Top heavy/stretch?

Hi guys,

I'm on day 6 now with my plants, I've got 3 colombian gold. I have a grow journal thread HERE if some experienced growers can have a look. I'm really asking that I get some immediate support here as I'm (probably typically) paranoid about my babies...

The problem I've encountered so far, but one that particularly alarmed me, is that yesterday I came in to find that one of my seedlings had basically leant right over. The rest of the plant looked healthy but it really had me worried for a second. I repotted it assuming it had stretched too much in the first couple of days, it looks ok to me now but I'm worried that it was my temp problem that actually caused it. I'd love if some of you could have a look, check they are ok, and hopefully endure this journey with me + offer some expert/good advice about getting the most out of the experience.

Your fine get your light to be about 2 inches off the plant(or the point where your hand notices a heat change from the light) and they should stop stretching to the light. One other thing you can do would be to repot and bury some of the stem.

Thanks, that puts my mind at rest a bit. Done.

lower the light , try to straighten him out if its bad, and don't forget to rotate the pots...
Cool, been rotating them to keep them straight since they sprouted. Thanks!

Yeah, do what they said. Prayer, just like Metallica, is also a useful tool.
