Not sure what is going on as this is my first grow ever. I started them in peat pellets. Please if this is bad what is the problem. I do 18/6 for light on/off

When posting pictures to RIU, please ensure you always turn off the grow lights.

If you look at your pictures and compare them to the actual plants, you'll be able to see that with that blurple light on, it's literally impossible to get an accurate depiction of the plant and its health.
 
Sorry guys.

Yes if you move them closer (within 18 -24 inches) they should be ok, but if your light is weak they will continue to stretch. For the moment use a toothpick etc to give them some support. Whwn they get older, if still needed use a bamboo stake :)
 
As Truthsurge said, the lighting appears to be inadequate and/or too far away..that's why they're reaching(tall and lanky)...as far as the curling, never seen that...I will say, they look too wet for seedlings and that tent looks like it can handle, maybe 2 mature plants max..

What do you mean by 2 mature plants max?

I think i know what you mean on the mature plant part. I only plant to grow one in the tent to maturity and the rest outside at a point. I live in michigan.
