indoor or outdoor what kind of lights and how far away are they can you show me a pic ? it sounds like your plants are stretching for light wich causes the plant to focus on stem growth rather than folage growth

Sounds like you need a new lamp?

picture please
Well, we really needs pics, but it sounds as though your not using the right kind of light.
You need CFL's or a high intensity discharge lamp [ MH or HPS, not MV]
Persaonally id chuck your plants cos after 2 weeks they sound like they're gunner be too stretched to save.
A bit of reading would have prevented this
Read the grow faqs to learn to grow BEFORE you plant the seeds.

it is very likley that you will end up with a spidley plant.... you should get a Cfl...
and keep it within 1 inch of your plant...

spindley, meaning stretched out to the max ... a long-stemmed seedling incapable of surviving, let alone supporting the weight of leaves and buds ... it means, "not enough light" ... :smokin:
