any help would be great thanks

It sounds like you need to lower the lights a lot more. It seems like your baby was stretching to reach the light, grew too quickly to support its own weight, and bent over. I recommend lowering the lights to about 1 foot away if its a HID light, 2-3 inches if the lights are CFL's as well as supercropping which will strengthen your stems in order to support the weight of the plant

i have the lights as close as possible waiting to see if this works bout to change the water and put a lil less nute this time

what kind of lights are they?

 

[kingscountyny]

its a 240w cfl its about 10 inches above the plants they just sproutted 2 more leaves each can someone tell me if i should use a ice pop stick to support the stem cause its still bent you can see in the pics below

CFL's need to be 2-3 inches away from the plants. HID lights need to be farther away. Move you're lights closer, quick!

the light is 3 inches away thanks for the help

should i use anything to support the stem

 

[Weedoozie]

let it grow out on its own, if it's meant to be, it will survive

is that actual 240 watt cfl or is that the equivalent wattage? if thats actual watts you might see how hot it ie at 3 inches, I know my 42 actual watt(200 equivalent) is pretty hot at 2-3 inches, for a suffering plant it does need to be much closer but stick your hand under the bulb at 3 inches and see how hot it is

This=yes, and if it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for the plant

the heat is not a problem
