2 week old plants

i am brand new to this and have i have been growing for 2 weeks now, and i am having an issue with my plants. i made several newbie mistakes in the first week (which i believe i have corrected) namely - i over-watered slightly, i had the light too far away, and no fan. I believe that all these factors have created a situation where the plants cannot support themselves. i have put sticks under them to support them and keep them off the ground. other than the fact that they are droopy they look great, no other signs of damping off i.e. black stem..... and the leaves are all quite healthy growing quite quickly. my question is.... now that i have corrected all the problems i had should i just leave the plants go as-is (leaning on sticks) and allow the stems to thicken and support themselves???? or should i re-pot them up to the first leaves???? i am using 2 400w mh, i tried to add some pics but its not working so i will try again later, the plants are about 5-6 inches tall and are getting their 2nd and 3rd set of leaves. i hope i was clear enough, any advice would help

no worries. If you have corrected all of the above (especially the oscilating fan!) then they will take care of themselves without being transplanted. A few weeks into my first grow I accidently poured water on top of one of my plants instead of to the side of it and the little one fell right over. I had to support it using a de-leaded pencil buried into the media with a string tied to it and the top of the plant. Every 3 days or so I found that I had to loosen the string because the plant had started to do what it was supposed to. And in less than 2 weeks it was strong enough to support itself once again

I would wait until you are ready to transplant/ they have out grown the current pots and then bury it up to the first leaves.

Pictures would help a lot. But you can re-pot and bury up to the seed leaves (the first small round one's). Water it in once, and then only water sparingly from the bottom, through tubing, or on the sides of the pot. Watering in the top center will keep moisture near the stem you buried and may cause rot. Even if you don't re-pot, leave the support pole on it for now, put a fan on it, very low or even indirect/reflected air, you don't want to risk a snapped stem at this stage.

If you do re-pot and she survives the next 24-48hrs after transplanting and looks healthy, you might want to try some of the "super cropping" techniques in the grow FAQ (under Advanced techniques) to build up tensile strength in your main stem, create a bushier plant, and increase yield. Start slow and give her plenty of time between stresses to heal.

You didn't indicate where you had your setup or temps, but 2 400w MH lights must get pretty hot, be sure to have good ventilation, droopy leaves may also be a sign of overheating.

you guys are great, thanks! I am using some wood grill skewers that i was able to bend in half without breaking so i could put one half in the ground and the other would go across to support the delicate stems. the temp in the room (a spare bedroom) is about 70-80 in the day and 55-60 at night. i am using both a humidistat and a thermostat on an indirect osculating fan , like i said the leaves look great, im actually amazed how good they look and how fast they are growing compared to how feeble the stem is. i think i will let them go based on your success with a similar situation, btw the seeds are California skunk i ordered from Amsterdam
