Peyote seedlings 1

Hey!
So I have about 15 seedlings going in 2 different little planters. They've been going since February maybe? Maybe early March.
Anyways, a bunch of them stretch tall in the beginning, and Even got a little tippy, at which point I added some sand on top to stabilize them.
Is that tall shape with the button on top normal? Any tips?
Thanks!

Those look great! I have 15 LW seeds sitting in New Jersey USPS foreign processing center since the 15th, and I really hope they aren’t confiscated or lost, but probably are. What’s your light source for your seedlings? They all look great to me, and normal;

Thanks! See how some grew tall? They got tippy so I added some of that fine red sand about halfway up them. It stabilized them and then they grew buttons on top. There are others that didn't do that, they look more like little buttons right at surface level 
These were actually little dessert cups from a restaurant, Olive Garden or something 😂 I poked holes in the bottom for drainage. They had lids for the top, which I slowly added holes in over so many months and then cut most of the top away. I watered them with a mister bottle whenever they looked dry, now I just bottom water them in saucers of water. I have just been leaving them on a windowsill. Not full sun or anything.
You can tell if they get too much sun because they will turn reddish

Last time I bottom watered I accidentally left them too long and the bit of sand at the surface got a bit wet. Now one cup has a light dusting of like a whitish mold on the sand. It's chilly here so I moved them out of the windowsill so that water would dry up quicker.
Is that (mold?) something I can treat?

Unfortunately this is beyond my expertise because it’s not something I have dealt with yet. It seems like a somewhat minute issue, though. Personally I would clean the visible mold with a wet and dry qtip (just H2O) or a scrub brush. I have these bristle brushes meant for cleaning reusable plastic drinking straws that work wonders for small stuff like this, as well as removing coir from dried fungus fruits. What do you think?
