You need a lot more light and get them closer to it.

Stake um up and get um closer to the light those stalks r thin bro the breeze from the fan will strengthen em what type of light u using and how far away i see strecthh when u repot i would pot at least 2_3 inches of stem it'll grow roots as well but that will make up for the stretch. Those where from seed right?
Edit lol lady not bro i did see ur handle my fault

I agree with hotrod, more light and closer. These girls are stretching way to much.

Edit posting:
As mentioned, needs more lighting...and probably a good idea to transplant fairly soon.

There should be a fan in the room moving the air- but never pointed directly at the plants---
aimed above them is good- but not straight-on...
turn them the other way around- and use a length of soda straw slit up one side to hold them up-- just cut the straw to be slightly shorter than the stem- open it at the slit and CAREFULLY fit the stem inside and push the straw into the soil just enough to hold it up...
I'm sorry- but those are SO STRETCHED.......
what kind of light you using and how far away?
The stems should be about 1/3 that length at that age....
you can get them stronger and make it work, but it'll take time....
You MAY have to coat the stem with cloning gel and plant them real deep to re-root if they can't get strong enough to stand by themselves....

"It's not a weed... it is a highly cultivated flowering herb"
It is a weed, cannabis loves a lot of water and sunlight...we simply train them to the best of our abilities.
Yet some treat them like orchids...I've been blowing fans on plants no matter how young. This simulates their native environment in the ground.

How do you define a weed? Some plants we consider "weeds" are cultivated in other cultures as crops.
A "weed" means a plant growing un-tended in a space it is unwanted... Tomatoes are considered "weeds" in some parts of the U.S because they run rampant and take some areas....
Cannabis is a flowering herb.. and some strains come from warmer, dryer regions than others- so they use less water and need more sun etc... than other strains as well.
That is why there are so many variables with Cannabis growing- or it would be "follow these steps and it will ahve no problems ever...."
Think about it-- you can't grow Super Lemon Haze exactly the same as a Blueberry plant or a Pure Hash plant. They have different needs as far as nutes, water etc... just have to "get to know" each one...

I had this happen to me the other night lol. Put the fan way too close and boom stap the stem!
What I did was transplant to a bigger pot, new soil, new nutes, and watered.. Give it 48 hours and she'll be better

Those girls are gonna be weak if you don't do something very soon... ALL of my plants have an INCH, MAX, between each node.. I use cfl and t5 for veg. Learn your lighting, and use it to your advantage. Their is nothing worse than feeling like you didn't do all you could do, every step of the way...Listen to your plants.. and the RIU community... I hope things work out for you
