Bought some sour diesel and tart seeds off of seedsherenow
I germinated 6 and they were awesome popped right up all of them on day 3.

Now I don't know if my light is too much ( an old 660 watt light I found ) no idea what kind it is. I am a noob. My bluelab pen will be here today.
They all stretched like crazy over night.
Then I over watered. Such a rookie.
I transplanted them like the guide I saw on here for stretchy plants but I think I've stressed them too much for being babies. I have 10 seeds left should I start over or see what happens?
They do not look like they are growing much at all. I could just be impatient I'm not sure.

660 watt light. What type mh/hps or other? Guessing its a old barn light or other high bay style fixture. Young plants like low output best so I hope you have some high ceilings! Good luck!

Another newbie here writing to let you know that patience is definitely needed. Here's a photo of a couple of my plants. The one on the left is 20 days from seeding. The one on the right is only 2 weeks older. I'm an experienced gardener and I've been surprised at how slowly these seedlings have grown for the first 2 or 3 weeks. Then things start to take off. Hope things work out for you.

It's not crazy important and just complicates things for new growers. It can be of benefit but definitely not anything you have to worry about. I've never paid any attention to that and my plants grow just fine. I'm not saying not to use that but it's far from being a requirement for a good grow.

I'm pretty sure we knew nothing about it and yet grew plenty of dank
First step is learning patience before seeking perfection

Take one of those cups and cut it in half and place over plant
Duct tape the side and fill with more soil right up to the leaves
Do the same to all without disturbing the roots
