Hey bro, what kind of.lights do you have? Try bringing them closer to the light. Depending on the light you have let's you know how close...

I'm a new grower but I've had success with seedlings because of keeping light close...they will continue to stretch until they reach the light.

What are they being germinated in? One thing that is easy is to buy rapid rooters, the spongy (sp?) kind, not the dirt ones. Cut them in half heigth wise, and then split them down the middle. Gently open the rooter, then put the tall sprout inside it. It will keep them straight, and they'll root right out of the old stem. Then put your light a little closer.

Some just stretch, I have an 8 bulb t5 that I use, nice and close, and some strains just stretch, but that's my secret. No more lost seedlings with this method.

Good luck. Hope this helps. Oh......I feed them with Clonex from seedling until transplant, just fyi. They love that shit.

Top up the pot with soil to cover some of the leggy stem and support it ,get a cfl closer and make sure temps dont go over 80.

If your using soil just fill it up with soil to the first set of leaves the cotyledons itll be fine. And bring the lights to within 2 or 3 inches.

If you need to then you should put a wooden skewer in the soil relatively close toyour seedling and then tie a cotton thread around the stalk of the plant and to to skewer, once the seedling has a thick enough stalk then you can untie it if you choose to.

Try useing a twistie tie from bread and prop the seedlings up. When you transplant remember to fill soil to the cover her up. Get her closer to the light.

If you tie them they'll fall down and die off. I've tried it all. Learn from someone who's been around the block dude. It isn't enough support. I have 100% success with seedlings doing what I posted up.
