drop the lights to about 5 inches away, a foots too far for sure tho with anything but a HID setup. u got a fan on them? that will help strengthen the stems too, but bagseeds a scary thing to use tho, risk of hemapherdite already in the gentics. FIRST!

DO NOT USE INCANDESCENTS. out of the 1000 lumens each bulb emits, the plants can only absorb about 20% because of their color spectrum. id say if its too late, kill them and start over with spiral bulbs (cfl) and keep them about 5 inches away. use as many cfl's as possible. more light=better growth.
