Also you'll prob want to move the light a little closer - the general rule is, if it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for your plants - so keep moving the light until it's warmish to your hand but not hot - remember you'll need to move the light once, even twice a day as they grow.

I'd consider transplanting them into taller pots and burying them a little deeper and getting a fan on them asap. If you don't transplant them I'd at least fill those containers up to the top with soil to cover some of the spindly stem.
Thanks for your reply, I had a 12" table fan that has been oscillating the entire time. I just moved the 400W MH from 4 feet off the ground to 20 inches off the ground. Im worried about transplanting too early they are only 8 days old.
