Lettuce seedling looks a bit skinny

s4lvatore

Hi guys

Got a tray of some seedlings that I done a few weeks ago which I have now thinned and am waiting till they get a tad bigger to put out in my beds.

Thing is when I gave them a closer inspection they seemed odd to me. They got nice healthy big leaves on top but the plant itself looks a bit too long and skinny for the leaves that it has. ( sorry for the description, didnt know how else to say it!)



Does this look normal guys or is it a bit leggy so to speak.

Would I be able to bury it in a bit when I transplant?

Mine looked very similiar and I just buried them in deeper when i transplanted them and they grew fine

Hi,

Yes they look fine to me as well. They do feel very soft and weak, but they soon get going.
