Newbie Grower looking for advice..

I've recently started growing 2 plants, now I germinated the seeds using the paper towel method, they germ'd quite quick. I then transfered them over to their buckets, I've noticed tho the main stem is rather thin, but it's tall, anyone care to tell me if this is a normal thing? Did I not put the seedling into the soil far enough? Please remember this is my first grow, let me know any and all problems. I will be getting some mylar tho, since space is limited in the closet.

how could one tell? they are strecthing a bit-you can lower thn light a little each day-floros can be as close as 1" from tops. also do you have more than one light b/c the plant to the left is strecthing over that way

bring the light really close to it or it'll break...

Smokey, the funny thing is, the light is right over top of that one, about 3 inches

I just adjusted the light, let's see how that works, Should I add more soil to those buckets? or will that hurt the plants?

ok, lower them and yes bury them up to their cytldones or howere the hell u spell tham. and make sure you have some drainage holes in there. and tape the cups with black tape or something to stop the light from entering

and do you best to stand them up straight with longer straws

I'd say change the lighting, something a little stronger. The plant on the right's stem looks very limp and the stick isn't gonna help. Lighting is very important, give it something stronger, and It'll grow straight up and become firmer, then you could add the fan. Not too strong now, just a breeze would do, then start turning it up as the plant gets older.

How bout giving it some sunshine, putting it by the window for a couple of hours each morning. Nothing like some good ol' fashion sun for these babies.

Good luck on your grow, hope your harvest will be monstrous, and you did pretty well for a first time grower.
