thinning of stem

why are my seedlings stretching a great amount towards the light and then hanging over? the leaves remain green but the stem begins to thin out into almost nothing. what is causing this? is there a way to prevent it? or is this bad genetics because they are bag seeds?

You answered your own question. Plants stretching toward light. Get more light and or move the lights closer to the plants. If you transplant to bigger pots set the plant down in the pot and cover up most of the stem.

i love posts like this no help required lol
