Do my seedlings look okay? Are they etiolated?

Post by Mads5 »

2 months old, baggie method, kept on a southwest facing window with an overhang so they are in bright indirect light for most of the day with an hour or two of direct sunlight through the thick window pane. This is my first time around so I don't really know what I'm looking for. They look so elongated and haven't formed any spines... is that normal for 2 months?

The do look mildly etiolated. It might be enough to add a reflector behind them - for instance, you could put them in a box with the top and front removed and the inside lined with foil.
