    Young plants grown indoors need a fan blowing on them to imitate the wind outdoors. This helps to grow thicker, stronger stems. Also, if they don't get plenty of sunlight, they will grow tall and slender. One more thing, at night the plants should be placed in a cooler place to help grow healthy stems.

    Identification of the seedling will depend on the type of vegetable you planted. If you let us know what vegetables you planted, we can let you know what their seedlings look like.

    Just because it is cloudy, does not mean that your plants are not getting light. Outdoor light, even on a cloudy day, is far brighter than any lamp you could use. Grow lights are a good substitute when the temperatures outside will kill your plants or you don't have a window that is gets enough sunlight through it, but nothing beats sunlight in terms of providing the light plants need.
