Issues with drooping

I had to postpone seed placement,due to box issues. Now I'm worried I may loose half my plants. I didn't push the root through the bottom of grow pellet, didn't want to force it. Was I wrong?

Lol yeah man that's a whole lot of streeeeeettttttccccchhhhhhhh. Not droop.
Either lower those lights if you can or start stacking stuff under that container to raise it up. They look pretty bad to me though already. You might be able to salvage em but I dunno if I'd personally try to.
So yeah get em close to the light and you'll probably need to prop the plants themselves up with something until they're strong enough to hold themselves up.

Holy cow that second picture looks totally warped to me.

I was going to say it is seriously fucked up but I can't use those words any longer.

So it looks GREAT.

hahahaaha, i've never seen em that bad before, I was going to say bury them in deeper pots but I dunno, those are super stretched.
Mate if you get bigger pots and do em in soil you can bury the stem till they stand up properly, but geeez louise.

personally id grow um just large enough to get some leaves the cut um like a clone and go from there, or your just gonna end up chasing the lights the whole time. you could train um bye spiraling them around a dowl rod. that could take some of the height away but if you try that you better start it while the stem is still supple... good luck

Im unclear what I should do. Prop them up with something so they grown and raise the res? I know nothing about cloning, being that this is my first try. I knew I left them in the germ phase longer than I should have, but as previously stated, the box had a delivery delay. Thanks for everything.

What I did was, I replanted them deeper into the jiffy cups. I raised the res and will monitor the growth. I will post more pictures. But jeeze, you guys are rough on a first time grower. I didnt do anything to you personally...

Reminds me of when I was 14 growing 12 seeds in an egg carton,under the kitchen light, that sat 3 feet above the counter, while I dreamt of the pounds I would get.............

Not being harsh at all man! Dont take it the wrong way. If I were youI would grow a bit longer, get clones off each strain and grow the clones, that way you dont lose your plants and you will have much more luck in this grow. Just a minor set back. Get your light much closer to the plants - im talking 1-2 inches above.

Good luck (:

Hey man, we've all fucked up some plants so don't take it so personal. Toughen up a little and learn all you can and your future grows will go better. Plenty more seeds out there. Understandable to get excited and pop those seeds too early but now you understand the consequences of moving too fast. Whatever happens to this grow, take some time to slow down and learn more before you go again.

Just out of curiosity, why do you have such an elaborate little box for germinating? Seems like you are over complicating things. How long are you planning to keep them in that thing? Good luck!

This wasn't for germ. I did that in the paper towel. They went a bit too long in the paper towel, due to grow box issues. I don't know how to clone yet.

Awesome. So lets get down to details here. What kind of lighting are you using? That's one of the biggest factors here.

Sorry if folks seem harsh, you have to imagine that the patience levels are very low, it is hard to seperate noobies from the garden variety trolls.

by the way, I wasn't being harsh, I was telling the truth. At 15, i was highly ignorant about growing... 25years later, and I'm still no expert, but, am good enough to keep myself high.

to be honest here, the best way I learned was going down and spending some dough on Grow bibles..... And research, research, research, that way you won't get blasted when you come here, because you won't be showing us pictures of foot long stretched out seedlings.
