Thin stems, advice ASAP!!!!!!!!!!

[TheSchwarts]

Got four lankey little bastards in my closet. They're about two weeks old now. I was away for about a week and had my girlfriend look after them,light was too far and they streched out like hell. They about 5 inches tall and the stems look like f***ing tooth picks.
I have the lights closer now and have my small fan on them. I want to know if I can do anything else though to get those damn stems thick. I am considering moving them to bigger pots (They are in plantable pots now) and filling the dirt up half way of the stems. Any advice, I need some help right away!

really need a pic... wat light? wat size pots? how many leaf sets?

You can bury the stem up to an inch below the botom leaves and put the lights closer.
If you have some rooting/cloning gel you can also apply that to the stems that you cover with soil.

Can't get picks today, earliest by monday. Pots are one gals, three sets of leaves, 4 100 watt spot-grow lights, 2 42 watt cfls. Cfls are about 3 inches away, 100watters about 6 ( Very low heat, reason I bought them)

Thanks mate, I do have some rooting gel. When I get up in the morning I'll try that, hopefully it works. It's been stressin' me for two days straight now.

u can also manually work the stems by bending one way then back the other a few times every few days.

its like excercise for ur plant.
