Is this stretching?

Got a 4 day old seedling at 2.5", worried about stretch so I put my 125W CFL a few inches from the leaf tops, now temps are around 90F, but no signs of burning.

Should I relax about the stretch and sort my temps out, keep em hot and short or get my 600W HPS out and try with that?

Ta!

you have a little stretch going. I start in solo cups about 3/4 full so I can add soil as it stretches.

That's what mine looked like until I added more soil and moved them closer to my lights. The seed's too close to the surface and too far away from the light I'm pretty sure.

It's strictly inadequate light reaching the plant.

ive been battling heat issues with the HPS so until my cool hood arrives they're still under the cfl at close range, they're a bit long still but not looking too shabby!
