ok guys so my sprouts are less than one week old i had three cfls on six plants. well as you can imagine the little ones started stretching. now i have about four sprouts that are stretched pretty badly. is there anyway i can fix the sprouts so that they will grow straight up instead of leaning over a little bit ? if you could help me out that would be great. oh and i have increased the amount of 26 watt cfls to four. to try and even out the light a little bit, as well as surrounding the little guys with foil to distribute the light more. well your help is appreciated as always thanks again.

no the bulbs are not far away at all less than 2 inches for sure i dont know if the tin foil will help surround them with light. is it normal for plants to bend a little bet in pre vegitative stage or am i doing something wrong. i really hope they turn out to be good plants.
