Is my thyme leggy? I have moved the light closer to it, but I want to know everything I can do to ensure it grows as best as possible. Also, when should I consider repotting it, and into what kind of pot? Thank you!

Do you have a small fan? This helps. I’ve used a fan in the past to help strengthen stalks.

I do but it blows quite intense on it, is that okay?

I used mine on low \& oscillating.

It looks slightly leggy, but if you moved the light closer, that should fix it. As far as repotting, that's a pretty large pot for it's size, so it will be awhile before you need to repot.
