3 week old white widow

I have several 3 week old white widows growing. The plants are healthy but the stock cannot support the leaves- They keep leaning over. I put drinking straws around the base of them and that helped, but shouldnt the stock be thicker by now?

how far is your light away from the plant? maybe they stretched because it was too far away....they should be able to stand on their own for now. how tall are your 3 week old plants?

do you have a fan blowing air on them to strengthen up the stems?? i agree your light could be to far away so your plants may be stretched.. you need your light as close to the plants as you can get it without burning the plants.. but also get a fan blowing air gently on them so it strengthens the stem.. it strengthens it by causing little microscopic breaks and fixing them.. over and over... which makes it strong.. anyways.. hoped this helped...

good luck
