put the light closer, put a fan on it ad if you need to support it with whatever you can.

it lloks like either you germed to long or the light is to far away.

if you can get the light close andn control hte heat yes -- i jsut had the same issue on a black widow, i put mylar around it to reflect o nthe sides, a fa directly blowing on it tso it physically moves hte plant and a 400 watt about a foot away. it is lanky but is sslowley getting strong again.


you can also try adding about an insh of dirt to it up the step to support it. for 2 weeks id expect a pit more leaves. youll see an imidiate difference once switching .

You need to prop that monster up.....move the dirt around and pile it up so the seedling is supported.

no.. no darkness... leave it under 18 hours of light and 6 hours of dark (if you are using a 400 watt metal halide or HPS).. which is what your using right?? and then do the 18/6 cycle until you can tell the sex... usually about 4-6 weeks after it sprouts.. then you can switch it to 12/12 light/dark... it might take a little longer to see results from your plant though due to the stress its had..

Have a fan blowing before they even pop thru the soil and you'll never have this problem...unless they are stretching towards a light source.
