most of the time this is from inadequate lighting either too far or not of proper spectrum... what are you using for lights?

Sometimes you have to make little hoops. Make a P and bend the top over and put stem through opening & stick in the dirt. You can also put a fan on them to make them stronger ( only after the're stable). Last year mine were like 5" tall and leaning all over the place. Every time I looked at them they were laying down, AHHHHHHH ! That's a scarey sight.............. I think they did it on purpose to freak me out. IT WORKED
Bastards... Good Luck :)

well im no pro but i would say those are your problem ive tried similar attemps in the past with similar results and all my plants did the same thing shot up real tall real quick and the stem will eventually collapse. do a bit more research on lighting

Bulbrite your using the ones all the way on the right?

post some pics. Sounds like the plant is strething.

you prob need more lights. You also want Daylight Lights - 6500K for now. I think those plant lights are more red light. you want more blue.

if ya growing in soil and the cups or pots arnt filled to the top with soil then fill um to the top,and that extra soil should support ya plants stems and stop um from leaning,and get the lights as close as possible without hurting um,,if that fails use some chop sticks to keep um upright untill you repot then bury um up2 there first leaves,,,,,,,,,,,peace
