hey all. I was wondering if I should replant this seedling deeper. I measure it at about 3 inches. Its my first grow.. lol. Kept it in the dark too long during germination. Keep in mind it is an auto Royal Dwarf. Thanks for any input!

Leave it for now, and let it get a little bigger. You can add soil carefully if you want / need to stabilize her.

Try some supplementary cfl lights. You would be surprised what you can find about your house!

Stretch is always a lack of light.
what size and type of LED is that you’re using?And what’s the distance from the light to the plant?
I’ll agree it’s a little stretched but it’s definitely no big deal. It’s your first grow so this is all about learning

Would you think seedlings that have stretched due to lack of light would have a higher chance of herm?

I dont think so. That's really early stress for that effect.

TS can fill the rest of that cup to the top around the stem to offer support.

Same concept with hydroton in dwc? I was thinking it would be fine to just plant the rapid rooter deeper in the hydroton.
