whats your setup? lights etc. if the light is too far away it will cause them to stretch. pics would help.

ya hard to say without knowing your setup. i use cfls and they are never more than 3" away from my seedlings and i dont get stretch, nice and sturdy little ones. but they are right, if you have your light too far away youll get a long floppy seedling. and yes the fan is a great idea, helps strengthen them really well actually. but ya give us a run aroud of your setup and you will get more help.

* had to google cress * stretching for light. repot or make straw support (cut drink straw longways) and lower light.

If it is stretch I would re-pot burying stem almost up to cotyledon leaves. Better this than have floppy seedling struggling to keep upright. Careful with your watering. And it is important to get light distance correct, cannot advise as don't know your light set up.
