Please Help!!

I have 5 plants that are all aprox. 5-6 weeks old. I am pretty sure I have identified one of them as a female because there are 2-3 small white hairs coming out of the very top of the plant. The problem I have is that the leaves at the very bottom of the plant ( I think are called fan leaves) have dried up and fallen off. Now all I have are 1 foot plants with very long stems. The leaves on the top of all the plants look like they are doing good. They are getting a little bigger and are nice and green. I only have 3 sets of leaves on each plant. That is it!! I feel as though those fan leaves should not have fallen off because I hear those leaves are the most important of the plant. Does this mean my plants will not grow right now? Im also concerned over the fact that the stems are about 1/2 foot long from the pot to the start of the leaves, Is that too long? :hippy:
