Default Seedlings leaning... need advice.
So, I germed my seeds in rockwool cubes using a humidity dome and a heating pad. Almost all seeds sprouted out of the rockwool in 3-4 days. I used a 5.6pH 1/8th strength nute water to soak the rockwool in.

One of my snow whites got a reallllllllly long stem. Its a good 2 inches ahead of the rest of them. Her leaves are smaller than the others and she's starting to bend. I have to have a fan on them to keep the MH from burning them.

I took a straw and cut it 3/4 the length of her stem, cut the straw in half, cut a point at one end, and taped over the edge she leans on. Is this sufficient for her correcting her stature? Will her stem strengthen? I'm guessing her leaves are smaller than the others because the water needs to travel further up her stem and its still very narrow?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

*edit: it isn't her stretching for light... they're bathed in it. I only have 4 plants under a 250watt metal halide bulb that is brand new.

should be ok until the stem gets stronger, plants get too leggy cos there too far away from lites, but you said its not that. just hold the plant up, till it gets stronger, having a fan blowing around helps plants to be stronger, but not too much.
