I dont have the exact pic of my seedling but it appearst to be stretching for light. i have a 4 pin flourecent light about 4-5 inches away from it. does it need more light? should i move the light closer?

its real similar to this one, alittle taller, same stem thickness, and the leaves are slightly smaller

you could also raise the plants by putting it on a box/books of some type, sometimes its easier to raise the plant than lower the light.

But, be careful not to put it too close in case of burning!
