Help! Why does she look like this???

so it's been day 8 in veg and for some reason my plants it's not branching out like it's supposed too. It's growing all close together here's some pictures. I know those twisted leaves at the bottom are low humidity but is that causing the leaves to stay close together and bushy?
This was yesterday



And this is what I woke up to ahhhhhhb


I hope I'm just over reacting but it seems everyone else veg there taller and less clustered

If you want it to stretch, back the light off a bit. It looks fine to me. Some plants grow short and bushy while others grow long and stretchy.

Sounds good to me man. I'm going to transfer her into a 5 gal bucket today. Do you think she will b happier once I do that?

It might be a little rootbound so transplanting will probably help big time. She will take off in a bigger pot and those leaves will die off anyway.

Im going to guess you gave it some Nitrogen or its in a fertialized soil. Its a little overfed, slowing the growth. You can tell by the dark green thick leafs.
It will grow out of it no problem just use tap water for the next week or so

Ok I see what you mean. I used straight fox farm soil and honestly think it might have been a little too hot for the seedling.

Well I transplanted her into her 5gal pot and I drilled some holes before hand just so the excess water can pour out. Sittiing in a little plastic Rubbermaid container. She's been in here for a few hours and she's already living up. I added Mykros from Xtreme gardening heard good things about it.


I know my soils looks kind of dry at the top but I barely stuck my first knuckle in the pot and it's wet. I know it's a big bucket and I puta good amount of water. I don't want to over water you know?

Mykos is one of fmmy fav products, with fox farm ocean forest just expect symtoms like that and know that in general its fine. Just use plain water the first month in ffof.

Nothing to worry about man looking healthy as, yours is just a very heavy indica so you will find it will stay short and bushy

Iv had that happen when just on the verge of over watering.
Leafs looked all fat.
Other wise looks fine.

Fox Farm also makes a mix called light warrior. It's better for seedlings. I haven't used it in 4 years or more but it worked good when i used it.
