o_O i Doon't knoooow they look a little to bushy, I would trim off the bottom sets of leaves, they are taking energy away from your budding sites:spew: :hump:,

-No but seriously those look like perfectly healthy seedlings

-Don't over water them

-Keep the light close enough so they don't stretch

-Keep a fan breeze on them to strengthen up the stems

-Don't feed them for a few weeks unless that's a soiless mix

-Less is more
 
give us your setup info: temps, watering schedule, lights etc
78 degrees F. water with distilled when meter tells me dry, 4 CFL 40 watt 6500k. 9 days from sprout. Light schedule has been messed up because my timer is confusing. While it's not the same everyday the plants get 18+ hours of light a day

You shouldn't be watering very much right now. What medium are you using and how far away are your cfls?

You should only be watering every 2-4 days depending on humidity and circulation. When the cup starts feeling light again, a light watering.

Your cfls should be right on top of your plants. As close as you can without touching them.

Your lighting is most likely your issue. If you can swing a cheap 4 bulb T5... Your plants will love you for it.

$40 from amazon and you can fit quite a few under it. 2ft, 4 bulb fixtures run between $80+ but are much better.
