eh.. they shouldn't have to be braced as you will be transplanting them soon anyway (probably in the next 2-3 weeks). When you do transplant just bury it up to the cotyledons and you should be fine.

If you're really worried about them falling over or breaking you could gently tie them against a bamboo skewer shoved through your rock wool (It looks like rockwool in those pics).

Get a small fan on low on those seedlings to help beef up the stalk a little.

The lankyness issue can be resolved at transplant. No biggie :thumbsup:

Can you move them a little further down into the rock wool?

looks like You are using floresent lights? get it to about an inch from the leaves, put a fan on them, on low, may have to stake them as the above post said. keep the light about an inch away, if it is a floresent, will keep them shorter and stalkier. if not floresent.......................dont put them that close to the plant!!!
