Plants look ok, but I think you burned them with a nute overdose.. Try pinching to thicken and harden the stems...

I don't wanna see what you do with LST

yeah man it will heal and it will swell into a ball.. don't worry the plant will be fine and sometime experienced growers pinch their plants harder to "break" the stems just to train them to grow in diferent directions. For this I use LST tho'... I only pinch for strength

I snapped the heads off my babies trying to bend it over. Thought I screwed them but they turned out to be great. I should take some pictures. Its amazing how she heals herself. Usually will bend back up after pinching them within 24 hours.
I should he ready to harvest in about 4-5 weeks. Planted the seeds in September.

I don't think this is a good idea at all! these are still seedlings, why the hell are you hurting them? JUst lest them be... if anything transplant into bigger pots...Get yourself a good book, try the marijuana grow bible by Greg Green... Nowhere in that 500 page book does it mention doing this to your plants!

Does the OPer mind if I post? I thought that was high jacking the thread?
See. Smoking DOES make you paranoid
Here are a few I took 2-3 weeks ago. I will get new ones as soon as I have the house to myself for more than an hour
Those are 2 plants. Bubbalicuos from Nirvana. Went into the soil as seeds September 11 went under 2-150 watt HPS lights around October 30th? I have had them under 12/12 since about the second week.
The plant on the left side has an interesting stalk If you look down the center, you can see the bottom piece split into 4 where I broke it trying to bend it.
Not bad for some seeds I thought were toast. This turned into an experiment worth while for me.

Books books books, I've read so many books, and when I finally started growing I noticed how much I really DON'T know. Pinching is a GREAT way to improve your plant's growth. It's not the same to have a weak stem that barely holds your flower, or have a big thick stem where the nutes and everything travels efficiently and helps with the overall development of the plant.
Tell me this is wrong:
The plants are 30 days old from seed
