 Quick question about stems on seedlings.

I wanted to know if there is a cause for the stems on seedlings to be real thin and some be real thick. I see some seedlings with real thick main stems and then some with real skinny thin stems.
Is there a reason for this? If you don't know what I mean Ill find and example just ask.

well normally i'm sure it would be suggested to put a fan on your grow to get your plants moving because it promotes thicker stems, but if its a mix and match of the same plants in the same area, my guess would be poor genetics and or possibly something to do with nutes?

There are many factors as to why some plants look differently than others such as, genetics, environment, and of course the grower.

66 watts isn't enough for seedlings right ive noticed that plants that Ive had in the sun stayed shorter and more bushier then in my closet with 66 watts of light even tho the lights were 4 inches away. the plants outside are about a inch and a half and stopped and started growing more leaves the ones in the closet on the other hand got to about 2 inches then started growing more leaves. I think I need a lot more light.

Look fairly normal to me, maybe slightly stretched. I actually prefer a tiny bit of stretching when they're young, makes it a little easier to water them when they get older.
