probally do to stretching, i would move lights closer and maybe put some more soil in your pot to hide some of the stem.

mist the top soil a little bit daily, and a good water every 3 to 4 days or so.

Do you have a fan system on it to make the stem stronger, if its not stretching you need to give it a splint, and get some direct air flow on it, it makes the stem strong as heck!!!

Weak stems are caused by watering seedlings before they need it. It makes the point where the stem meets the soil weak. Therefore they bend.
