Leggy #lithops?
A few weeks ago I posted about how I had a hitchhiker in my lithops seeds becausw I had a tall, green sprout growing. Well, a week or so later I saw two more in another pot. Again, the tops looked like lithops but the bottoms were long and thin. The first one I saw actually fell over and I tried to get it out to take a photo but it's just too small and squishy.
I just checked everyone and I have the original two and at least two other pots with something green growing out.
Could these be my lithops babies? Why are they so leggy? They are growing in a bright spot with a grow light for extra help, with domes.
UDATE TO ADD: I googled and Reddit mentioned you're supposed to uncover once they germinate so uncovered 4/5 with babes. Not sure what to do about the one that fell over. Uncover? Keep covered until another comes up?

@kscape I'll have to jump down a ๐๐ณ๏ธ tonight when I have some time! I'll let you know what I find!
@angelw1975 everything u am reading seems to say that you uncover once they germinate. I can't seem to find much about them being leggy though.... Kid of very few opinions and every one of them is different. Sounds like they could be fine in the end! ๐คท๐ฝ๐ค๐ผ @kscape
@PlantMompy this guy keeps his covered with glass until one or 2 months old. His look amazing so I trusted him lol!

@angelw1975 I watched that one, which is why I was keeping them covered! ๐ค

@angelw1975 I did read you can push them back in, so I did that with one that fell over ๐ค๐ผ
I'm just proud they even sprouted ๐ I'll have to pick a new goal, lol
