Just like @HJL said, lower light. And put in bigger cups and bury stems before they fall over. Happy Growing ---

when I have seedlings, I use a 6500k, 23watt cfl bulb and keep it about 2-4 inches away. gives them a chance to built a stonger stem and keeps them from stretching ---

Your in good hands. Need to put them in other cups. Don’t use clear cups to grow. Roots don’t like light. It will definitely stunt the plant. @Liljoe has you. Jumping to the paid side.

Looking better. Now as @OldSkunk also mentioned about the cups. clear is good just so u can see when u have good roots going then as soon as u see the roots, re-pot them into none clear pots. And its also a real good idea to re-pot yours as soon as possible to get ur stem buried before they fall over, not very stong yet. if you can burry them to abour 1/2 to 1 inch below leaves. You got this!! 😉 ---
