I always run seedlings on 20 hours under T5's, within few inches of the sprouts for compact growth. Plenty of time for them to stretch out later.

lol its breaking soil.... give it about 12 hours and it should be standing upright. PATIENCE..... IS KEY. This hobby is one that requires another hobby to keep your mind occupied.
