If the plant is streching then that means your light is not close enough. if it strech alot then replant it ina bigger container and put the plant deeper in the soil, try to keep your light 6 to 12inches from the top of the plant depending on what kind of light you have...

Give them a viagra. Or just keep the temp around 78 and give them a little breeze.

Overwatering can weaken the stem and cause the plant to "faint", or lay down in the dirt. If you're using CFLs or floros, put them closer to the top of the plant. 6-12 inches is too far away for floros and CFLs and will cause major stretching which also weakens the stems.

yeh a straw is fine it will grow out it soon and stand on its own, or i take plastic forks from my local take away and turn them upside down handle in the dirt or rockwool etc, sometimes it only happens when you get one thats abit keen.
