What Did I Do Wrong?

So I'm finally on my first grow. Things have been going alright, not perfect but that's expected. There is so much conflicting perspectives on these sites, I just dove in and hoped I could learn along the way.

I have 2 plants in 1L air pots after germination. Popped about a week ago. Coco w/ perlite. Very light nutes. 18/6

One of my plants stretched a lot during germination. It seemed to still be stretching a bit, so I decided to lower my lights. I figured once I replanted I could bury the stem a bit.

Yesterday, after I last checked on them before bed everything was fine.

I did make some adjustments and idk what went wrong specifically

I thought my slow growth was attributed to low light.
I have two connected spider farmers in a 2x4. Initially had both lights at about 30 in at about 20% power. Lowered it to about 25 in at 40% based on posts I've read.

I also kept my humidifier on throughout the night. When I wake up, the rh is usually in the 40s. I know it should be around the 70s so I kept it on this. When I checked this morning it was about 79%

When I woke up, homegirl had a large gangsta lean.

How do I fix what I did wrong? And what did I do wrong?


Thanks for the help!

I would open up those pots and dump the soil and bury those strechlings to the leaves barely are above the surface

Thanks for the reply!

How do I avoid root damage this early on?

Did she start leaning simply because of the stretch?

I like the split straw trick but those are to tall for either

Should I wait for my next watering to replant or replant right away and water now?
