Droopy Stems in seedlings - pics

This is my first grow. I'm growing a bunch of strains (https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/396814-my-first-grow-veg-indoor.html). A couple of the sativas (Arjans Haze 1, Jack Herer) have droopy stems. I started all of them under T5 from seed.

When I transplanted the rapid rooters into the pots with about 60/40 mixture of Pro Mix HP and Perlite things were good for a day or so, then I switched from the T5 to 600 wt MH at 26" away from the tops. Then one of the taller ones (Arjans Haze) started to droop, I think under the weight of its own leaves?:-( I watered with food right after the transplant, then I watered them 2 days later which might have been too soon? Could over watering cause this?



A couple of the other sativas are growing at an angle but there isnt a droop in the stem.

What causes this?

What fixes this? Should I repot them in a larger size and bury some of the stem?


Thanks for any advice!
