Stretchy seedlings

These are some Ethos Mandarin Cookies V2 that I didn't pay enough attention to when they sprouted. The light was too dim and too far away. I transplanted the seedlings into 1-gallon pots and buried 1/2 of the stem in the soil. 10 days later they seem to be okay. I was actually following the manufacturer's distance and brightness recommendations. They recommended dimming the light all the way and placing it 24" away. They might have been playing it safe...I don't really know. I found that turning up the dimmer to 1/2 really brought them to life. The light is a Vero Cob 400 watt from Timber. I also gave a light dose of Humboldt's Secret Starter Pack right before they doubled in size. I let the soil get very dry before doing this.

All is good now..
