Guys yesterday it was fine, today it literally just fell over and hasn't stood back up yet. Did it just not make it for some reason

It's still alive. Stand it up gently and put some soil around it to support it. You might need to lower your light some and add a slight breeze will strengthen the stems.

You're good bro, KB's right. Soil support, lower light, and be mindful of over watering (I like smaller shoes when they're that young/immature).

You could also use a toothpick and gently tape it together as a splint to hold it up. Once it is strong enough to stand on its own, you can remove the toothpick.

I've used BBQ skewersto right youngsters in need, but this guy is so small that during the "splinting", or removal of said "splint", irreparable damage could be incurred. A little soil, light packing behind it, she's golden.

@Odin* that totally makes sense. I have only tried this with more established clones so I could see how that would be an issue

If you have bad air flow plants cant breath and fall over, first guess would be this...

this is common . they grow so fast and (stretch ) for the light stems grow very long . they fall over every time . put some dirt around the stem so it will support it self . you cant over do it as long as you leave a inch of the plant stick up the stem will from roots the part your cover with dirt . if you dont want to do this the best way go plan b . like posted above put a stick next to it so it will be supported this is the rookie way . dont use tape just put it right next to the plant so its laying right next to it . move your light closer cfl should only be inches away use the hand test if your hand wont get hot the plant wont for the distance most importantly have fun .

Yup, bbq skewers and everytime I go to get chinese I always ask for extra packs of chop sticks for this very reason
