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
 
101_1040.jpg101_1039.jpgits 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!
 
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
