what is considered a leggy plant

Go go n chill

Well-Known Member
I'm new to growing and I was wondering, I have 3 autos that sprouted 3 days ago-in dirt, they are about an inch and a half tall. all three have 2 pair of leaves... tiny leaves. are they to tall? is that considered leggy or stretching? I have them under 5 23w daylight cfl bulbs. they are about 4 inches from the plants. and the temp range is from 68-72. Thank You for the advice in advance

Any sprout can stretch too much but a "leggy" plant is something different. It refers to a plant that as it grows has longer internodal spaces and long, leggy side branches. Sativa dominants are notorious for that and many hybrids exhibit the same trait tho usually to a lesser extent.
