ever since i first planted my plant after germenation, it has been growing so slow. its on day 56 and 12inches tall only 7 strains of leaves(all 3 leaves)
then, the other day i looked at the stem to find a dried-looking white thing at the base of the stem is this bark lol? is this normal? how can i fix this
enyway i planted a seed 15 days ago and its already 6 inches tall and it keeps falling over because its so tall i stuck a pencil in the ground and tied it to it (this plants not under my 50w grow light, but my other one is)

Sounds like you could use more light, what kind of 50w light are you using

sounds like the one is stretching for sure if its falling over and reached 6 inches that quickly, the other is probably the same problem mostly, or stressed for some other reason if its not stretched. If the white stuff is powdery it's mildew....bad stuff, get something to kill it or let your plants properly dry out before watering.

well it could be the stem hardening off and making bark

i dont know but its blue 50 watt

White spot at the base of the Main stem is usually a sign of Dampening off.

dont grow in your moms house..this site is for adults..

more light for the 6 inch plant. its probably stretching. and if you dont already you probably should throw a fan above it to strengthen the stem so that it can handle the weight of the canopy!

as for the other plant i'm not too sure on all the possibilities of white stuff on the stem, so someone else will have to help you on that one!
