5 inches long, your shits are stretching. how far away is your light?
No you shouldn't have your fan blowing directly on your plants, plants can get "wind burn" which is pretty much just extreme drying if the leaves.. bounce the wind off something, or just leave it to circulate. the point is to keep fresh air flowing so there is carbon dioxide for the plant to eat for yum yums

What kind of lights are you using?
they need to be a lot closer
as close as you can get them
i had the same problem eventually this happens and its very sad
prop it up and put your lights as close as possible without touching

when that happens.. turn the plant so the light is shining from the bending side... the plant should straighten up, move towards the light, then you can plant her down a little further in the soil to get her growing strong again.
probably what he'll have to do

Truth, the plant will follow the light

well its in my closet lol my mom said they are stretching. I am using florecent 4 foot lights. yeah i got this reflective stuff from don ables. that helps but should i drop them right down to the plant?

yea, drop the lights closer to the plants. You know how many watts your lamp is?
Most likely about 1 and a half to 3 inches away from your plant, depending on wattage and heat.

i dropped it down to like 1 inch away from the light there almost touching but there not. i have no idea what wattage they are but i Do you think that i should burry the plant a little deeper into the soil so only like a inch sticks out? thanks!

if you can you should add some soil around it rather than pulling it out and replanting

Alright I think ill take some pictures tommorow morning to show you guys whats goin down in my closet and see what you pro's think

Imo and i'm no expert put some more soil in around the bottom of the plant. it's called backing-up. my mrs does it all the time when needed. i would wait for stronger roots before repotting i think
