any ideas

Sounds like one of those 1000 lbs guys who can't even get out of bed.
Seriously tho, if it's not stretched I have no idea. Sounds like a super strain lol

stake the individual branches up and get a good fan blowing directly on them to strengthen the stems

Well lower the fan then man. If it get's too hot, cool it w/ a fan.

Ooops lololol

well repot and bury the stem then lower the light and put a fan between the light and the tops of the seedlings in order to get the stems stronger

having a fan blow on them will help strengthen the stalks even if its a simple PC fan blowing on them that will still help them

Anyways, back on topic.
Perhaps starting your babies under a 400w is not the best idea. I'm starting mine under a 250w, but most ppl say to stick to CFLs or less intense lighting for a couple of weeks.

ihave always started under a 400 but just keep light quite high

You can split them, that'll slow down growth allowing stalks to thicken.

well that but proibly because you can have the CFLs almost touching unless you use plexy glass setup for the lights and a fan taking the hot air out the plants can touch the glass and not get hurt.
