For the stretched seedling... prop it up and bury the stem in dirt. Dont cover any leaves tho. Repot if nessesary. If thats not enough use a stick and tie it to the seedling to hold it up.
Your light may be to far away which is causing the stretch. Bring it closer. If you are using hps and cant go any closer due to heat issues try using florescents or cfls until your seedlings are established. Good luck wit it...

Yea that's pretty much what I would have done. As long as it has not been completely cut into it has the ability to survive it is a very small likely hood that will happen but it is woth trying even if its a hermi or dies you can gain valuable experience. So document very thing you do to it..take pictures. Personally I would go ahead and isolate it from the rest and strat a new one to replace it.. I even have a cornie little R&D box set up that I keep the screw up in and they have taught me much and some even yielded beautiful buds..

I had the same thing happen to one of my seedlings, stretched, fell, bent. I propped it up and left it for a week and unfortunately it just got worse and worse. Then I cut it at a little below the cotyledon, put some rooting powder on the cut stem and put it in rock wool. Kept it wet and it grew new roots. I would not suggest this unless you are giving up on it but it did work for me and is growing nicely as we speak.

I wonder if that was too much stress for your plant. I really want to know if it turns into a herme.

Also this is this the same way you clone a plant and cloning doesnt produce insanely high number of hermies but only time will tell.
