just wondering if this is normal or if it could cause problems. these are dinafem critical jack auto and will eventually be transplanted outside so light distance is not an issue. the first try i took at this the plant grew like 2" and then started spreading out. one of these just cracked its second set of leaves this morning and is already tipping over! these are about a week from the warm water soak, probably day 5 from germ. they germed FAST! put them in a warm shotglass overnight and the next afternoon i had 1/2" taproots sticking out. made them tricky to plant, i was worrying about stressing them, but they took right off!

some seedlings need help standing up,and will grow lanky at first,I would just pile some dirt up on all sides of the plant and you should be ok

I'm with johny112 on that. Also, careful not to over water as you want the roots to reach for every last drop. If the roots aren't healthy, it will show up above.
