cut the 18/ 24 and keep it under 24 light only dont keep them too close to the sun about 15 to 18 inches away its leaning over because its shocked make sure you have a good amount of water and make sure you have a good amount of hols to dump the excess and see what happens.

when your plants are that small you should either run the light for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. or you should run it for 20 hours a day, and then let them rest in the darkness for 4 hours before running it again. So either 24/0 or 20/4, you can switch to 18/6 after a couple weeks, when they are at least 4 or 5 inches tall. hope this helps.

what kind of lights are you using? if they arent sucking up a bunch of power then just keep them on 24/7 until your ready to go to flower. then just switch to 12/12.that 18/6 and 16/8 is a waste of time.

bright, full spectrum light, a little breeze, and 70-75 degrees will ensure good sturdy seedlings. Try burring the folded-over stem and leave the leaves and about 1/4 inch of stem exposed.

thats an opinion. (hardly)nowere on earth does the sun not go down......... plants should have dark in thier lighting schedule(my opinion). they have been doing it that way long before we started growing them indoors. look into it. MJ dont grow well were the lights never go fully out cause its the fukin arctic circle on one pole or another. i would say that its maybe cause you didnt plant ur sprouts deep enough. just add some more soil on top after ya stand the little lady up. gotta give um a chance thier still only babys. if ya can get her to stand up on her own. a fan in the room (not blowing directly on the plants) should help you grow a nice beefy stalk. goodtimez
