Do you think I should turn up there light? It's only at about 40 watts right now... would that stop the stretch or is it another problem?

Those are from seed.
I seeded them for 4 days and put them in the cloner to get water roots on them faster. Been working on ways to cut down time into the water from seed and this worked really well.

My seedlings I posted pics of get 24 hour light under a 2ft 4 bulb HO T5 about a foot away. Keeps them stacked short.

Sounds like a good system... im using a400 watt led dimmed down to 10%at about 18 inches foot 18 hours. Still new to the seed thing... trying to figure it out.
It's a Mg deficit because it's not getting enough water. All seedlings need is a little Ca and Mg and that's usually adequately supplied by tap water but you know all that. You do have some good posts.

Makes sense since im using ro water but I thought the cotyledon feed the seedling until it grows roots.

That thing has a few small roots. I bet almost if not already popping out the bottom of the plug.

absolutely nothing wrong with that seedling. maybe a bit of damage from breaking out of seed but quickly goes away.
It has a tap root. You are far to dry, water and light is the catalyst for metabolism.

cant tell if praise or shot at previous post...
I do my best to just share my personal experiences and not just spew stuff i want to be accepted as fact.
I have very low ppm tap and get spots like that on stuff thats a few days old that usually go away in a day or two. It always goes away so never thought much of it. You think a small does would help speed things up a bit? im all for faster.

I would if using RO, its been a long day and I forgot to ask if you were right off.
It was praise. I'm pretty obvious when I'm taking a shot.
For the OP here's some of my stretchies from several years back prior to repotting (I don't take a lot of seedling pics)

Yea my tap water is high in calcium so I had to go ro... I'll have to research how much of a dose.
I'd add tap water but that's me. BTW here's a couple days ago in my flower room. So I can get my stretchy little boogers to chop ;D Good luck
My tap is 250ish and contains Chlorine which I love using since I'm hydro. I don't use Chloramine. What is your TDS?
