Hallo Leute,
Meine Paprikasämlinge sind vor etwa einer Woche gekeimt. Sie sind sehr schnell gewachsen, aber das Licht war wahrscheinlich ein paar Tage lang zu hoch. Ich habe es auf etwa 15 cm über den Sämlingen abgesenkt, ich kann es bei Bedarf sogar noch weiter absenken. Sind sie langbeinig oder für ihre Bühne geeignet? Danke!

I’ve seen worse, they should be fine
Move the light down till about 2 inches above them or they’re just going to get more leggy
Nah, peppers seem to always start out leggy no matter how close or intense you put your light. A little bit of fan/wind help naturally strengthen them. Yours look fine.
Just make sure not give them too much light and stunt them. You can always bury the stem a little once you repot.
If they do start to tip, you can stake some garden wire in upside down “L” shape and give them a crutch to lean on as while they grow/strengthen.
They don’t seem spindly to me, but they might be dry. That type of disposable pot can really wick water away and dry soil quickly. Are you watering by weight? Do they feel light if you carefully lift them? That bright tan concerns me.
No, I don’t think so. If you are worried bring the light source closer
Those aren’t bad, but will need more light.
What type of light is it? It’s actually better to have the light further away and turn up the intensity if it’s a dimmable LED – especially in a reflective tent.
300 PPFD at 8 inches vs 300 PPFD at 24 inches for example. The latter is perceived to be a lot more intense by the plants even though the PPFD reading is the same – the light is much more uniform and doesn’t drop off as much with distance.
Yours don’t look too bad though but they do want more light.
