Seedling popped on 10/18

This is the Gorilla Melon from fast buds. My first Photoperiod and my first indoor. It stretched a bit on the first day, but I have that under control now. I am trying Strive nutes in roots organic soil. Any advice would be appreciated.

Looking good. The biggest mistake newer growers make is overwatering of seedlings. They only need a few ml of water per day and the soil should dry out between waterings. Seedlings tolerate dry soil far better than wet soil.

You can alternatively use a humidity dome and not water the soil at all until the dome is removed. The plant can get all of the water it needs from the humidity in a dome. A clear Solo cup or a cut pop bottle will work just fine. Leave the soil dry and mist the inside of the dome a couple of times per day.

Stretching is caused by inadequate light intensity.

Thank you @MidwestGuy . On day two the seedling was 2”, I turned my light up and moved it closer and this morning it was still 2” tall and it is day 4. I let it dry out then water it with a spray bottle when the light goes out.
