hi, you should get a fan on it and spray them with water. this simulates harsh outdoors conditions your seedlings are native to. wind and rain make the stem stronger, if you have a nice strong stem it should be ok. seedlings grow quickly anyway. if they begin to fall over, use a lolly stick to help them to stand up.

well....the only thing i can think of is using a stick/pole or whatever it's called to prop it up and hope it gets stronger as it gets older.....if not dig them a nice grave!
I've used cheap 2 tube shop lights with 40W cool white bulbs for years to start my plants & keep mine 1" from the plants. Not many lumens from those tubes but not much heat either. They will keep stretching for more light at 3". I also line the shop light with tin foil for better reflection.

K just lowered them to an inch. Are my lights ok? you say you use cool whites and im using sun sticks and only one cool white is this ok?
Never used sun sticks.I'm sure they give a better light spectrum than cheap cool whites. Just make sure they don't give off too much heat & burn your plants.

try using a fan but diresting the air flow just above the plant so they dont get knocked over but they still get fresh circulating air

Popsicle stick with twist tie. It holds them up till the're strong enough to stand. I had a bunch once they'd freak me out every morning by lying on their sides when I got up. Shit they'd be drooping over the side of the pots...fuckers....but after I tied them they were fine.......fuckers
