Outdoors? Numerous things could have happened.

Lights could be too far away, not enough moisture in the soil, and you ALWAYS need a fan, the fan breaks down the stem's muscular cell's and grows the new over the old...much like what a going to a gym and working out does for our own muscles.

For now take a straw, slit it down the middle, and gently place the straw around the stem, and push the straw gently down into the dirt about a 1/4", THAT SHOULD HELP.

No problem...just get a fan if you don't have one. Also too once the plant gets strong again...transplant it and when you do, bury the plant so that only the about an 1" is showing above the soil.
