are they bending near the bottem of the top, put your light source directly above the plant they generally grow twards the light

my light source is directly above, but one plant more than the other is jst leaning to one side, it looks healthy, its not droopy jst leaning to one side. its about 15 days old at 8cm. i currently cnt take a pic which is anoying. do you think it shud be taller at 15 days? or it could be older im not sure.

picture below is beofre it started to tilt

That light needs to be a LOT closer; Ive never seen a plant stretch that much!
And if its a desk lamp... just forget it.

no i got 2 lights, ones a desk lamp which i put there cause i thought therd be no harm by tryin to give it more light... wat do u mean by stretch.. i thought tht was normal lol, how far away shud the light be frm the leaves then.. coz i dnt wana damage the plant by having it too close

you need to have floresant lights, and they should be like a inch or two away, dont worry it doesnt harm them

yeah don't worry man, if you're using two weak lights it's best to put them as close as possible without feeling a burning sensation on your hand if you hold it above you plants.
They can take some heat, some warmth, as long as your space is ventilated.
Though stretched, your plants look good.

:stoned: I started my plants the exact same way. Take a small stick and put it in the ground next to the stem of the plant. Next, take a twist tie and loosley tie it to plant and stic so the stick helps support the plant. I used a desk lamp at first to so i know what im talking about. put the light roughly 2-3 inches away from the plants. Also when you transplant them put them in deep so not as much of the stem is showing. That will add support.:stoned:
