Now don't get me wrong, it WAS the (lack of) light more than anything but, next time, this will probably help too..........
Yeah this is very true. Next time you want to have your light a lot closer so the plant won't stretch so far for it and have air blowing on it so it will stay short and strong as a seedling.
