Themoonhowl,

How can I tell if the plant is stretching? The weather in Chicago has been cloudy the past few days and the plants have not gotten much light. I also noticed that they haven't grown much since the last picture which was day 6. I have attached a new pic of the plants at day 10.

Should I add some sort of light to make sure they are getting enough? The soil looks moist so I haven't been giving them much water. Should I wait until the soil is dryer to give it water?

Thanks for all the help.
