if the stem is long and whispy from lack of air circulation during the first stage of growth, bury a good portion of the stretched stem beneath the dirt when you repot it. same concept as a stilt except it will grow roots out of the stem you buried

proper airflow will stiffen up your stems in the future

Give it light. They stretch for light and no stem strength to support it. 23 watt CFL is good and you can get it CLOSE! 1 for each plant. No sniveling about the cost. Pot is $10-$15/gram. This is a guess since you didn't post pics. Try to remember - a picture is worth a thousand words.

All the light you can give. Do not overwater - the major cause of plant death by the uninitiated. No nutrients or fertilizers until at least 3 weeks but others will come soon to sing a different song. Many have great success so see their pics. If they can walk the walk then listen to their talk.

I would have to agree give it more light , I would also grab some cal mag, and or superthrive. but like hotrod said no nutes will be needed for 3 weeks or so, my favorite method for this strain in Fox Farm Ocean forest and lots of sunlight, and I have seen great results with this method and next to no nutes added aside from occasional Epsom salt and molasses every other watering. After seedlings take off transplant them into a large pot I would say you could get away with 3 gallons of soil per but if you really want to see a great plant go with no less than 5 and if you want a legendary plant no less than 10. I would go ahead and get some neem oil organic pesticide as well as from what I have seen this strain is somewhat fickle as the beginning of its life cycle and can fall prey to disease and bugs pretty quick, don't be worried though it turns around to be one of the most forgiving strains for a beginner.
 
Oh ok that makes me feel alot better about them then. I was super worried and thought they died when I seem them jusnlayin down lol but thanks again guys for all the info big help for my first ever grow. I can't wait till I'm successful for the first time haha
