first grow, stretch?

your light is excellent, don't change anything. Plants from seed stretch a little better, but even then you can top & fim them & stimulate new low branch growth. So don't worry, let her grow. You can get interim nodes later.

Looks normal to me, my seedlings sometime do that, closer lights would help but make sure not to burn them, you may have to stake them but don't worry abt it, let them do there own thing.

She looks healthy also looks to be reaching for light how close you say the light is?
Oh that happened for a couple hours then her leaves went back down, her 2nd set of nodes are now popping through really clearly and she's getting a lot bigger. When would u suggest I start feeding her?

have a light breeze blow on her to strengthen the stalk (use a fan). also, you can add soil around the stem so it is not so tall if you like, roots will grow out of the stem when you do that, but only do it in seedling stage. it stretches because it wants more light. don't feed her until she's clearly in vegetative stage, one or two more weeks then go light depending what kind of soil and nutes you're using.
