Can you look at these pics and tell me what's wrong?

This is my first grow ever. This popped thru the soil 1 week ago. It is feminized Lowryder 2. I have a total of 8 lights. 5 are 26 watt 6500k and the other 3 are 40 watt 2700k. I also have another 1 week old in there which is not growing as fast, but not having this issue. I am keeping them as close to the light as possible without it being too hot for my hand. I am using Fox Farm Ocean Forest. My wife went in yesterday morning to water her and noticed it was bent over. As you can see the stem has a skinny part. You have the part below it which looks normal and the part above it looks normal then the skinny part. I have it braced up right now since she cannot stand on her own. Any advice what I should do and if she will be ok? Also she seems kinda small. I know it's only been a week and it is Lowryder, just wondering what you think.

put a small fan on it and that should help the stalk grow stronger. Let it dry out a lil. Dont give it nutes yet. I believe the soil already has some. The stem just needs to catch up with the top. I'll subscribe and try to give you any help.

i only watered lightly then misted it and had to bring my lights closer... putting a fan on it should bring it back to strength as it grows. Mine did the same thing even after it got bigger it still did it aliitle... if the lights are to the side its bending then there ya go try to move the light position and see if it changes course.

Maybe try to put some extra soil around that weak looking stem to support it while it recovers......
