Hi, sieht ziemlich klein aus für Woche 3,denke das er zu wenig Licht bekommt, versuche mit Hilfe der App Photone das Licht richtig einzustellen. Kannst dir ppfd Werte im nternet suchen. Aber ein Keimlinge solte so 200-300 ppfd Aufjedenfall haben, und wie oft gibst du Wasser? Zu viel Wasser am Anfang verursacht das die wurzel nicht richtig atmen kann und dann wächst die Pflanze auch sehr schlecht. Wenn sie in den nächsten Tagen nicht besser wird würde ich eine neue einpflanzen. Es kostet dich Zeit und Geld und sie wird nicht wirklich gut werden.

Hey Growmie, It’s not unusual for seedlings to start small, but based on the photo, yours looks a bit undersized and slightly stretched, which is often a sign it's not getting enough light. When a seedling reaches upward like that, it's usually trying to find more light. Adjusting your grow light to be closer (about 2–4 inches if you're using LED) can help a lot. Make sure it’s on for at least 18 hours a day, especially if you’re growing autoflowers. Also, be careful with watering, overwatering is a common mistake at this stage and can stunt growth. Let the top layer of soil dry out before watering again, and ensure the pot has good drainage. The soil appears to have some perlite, which is beneficial. Just ensure it’s not too compact and that you're not feeding nutrients too early. Keep your temperatures around 70–80°F with 60–70% humidity to keep the environment seedling-friendly. You can also add a bit more soil around the base to support that thin stem and encourage root stability. With the right adjustments, it should pick up growth over the next few days.
