Heat is only one of the issues. There isn't enough dirt in each cup to keep the plants watered for more than 4 hours when the lights and exhaust fan are on. I think it's a combination of heat and the 80 CFM fan blowing on them that's drying them out and causing the stretching.

I'm about to re-plant all of the plants in a single large container filled with dirt. That way it will be easier to water them and the dirt will stay wet much longer. It will be a little bit harder to transplant them, but i think it will be worth it. They will also fit under the lights better, which they will like. I'll post some pics when i'm done.

p.s. i didn't have time this morning to plant those babies outside. hopefully they'll do fine in the closet for another week or two.
