I thought I was doing good it was getting taller, I put it out in my garage and under a new light, it looked like it was trying to touch the light. Anyways I was bragging to my friend who then told me it was leaning over. I’m clueless on what I am doing wrong…please help.

Hi - first, welcome to the forum. There’s a lot of experienced people who will be able to help you out. For starters, I believe using a cannabis-friendly soil, like fox farms happy frog, promix, or roots organics, with a solid pH and ppm maintenance schedule is a key to success, especially early in its life. If you can for us, please copy and paste this and fill it out to the best of your ability. It will help people assess your grow.
Thanks,

Not sure was given a bag of seeds.
Age from sprout: 2 weeks

I bought 6 inch planter from walmart. The soil is also from walmart Jiffy natural and organic seed starting soil.
How often do I water, how much, and how do I determine when to water: I water when the soil is dry to touch, I’ve been using rain water.
What is the pH of the water or water/nutrient solution?
I don’t know
What is the PH and PPM measurements of the runoff or solution in reservoir? Don’t know
What nutrients (if any) are you using, and at what strength (ppms, or dosage percentage), and how often? None

2 car garage
Light system, size, height from plants:
Heating lamp
Temps; Day, Night: 50 to 60 during day
30-40 at night…but it’s been indoors

Co2; Yes, No: no
Any other info you think is pertinent: I had the plant in my laundry room under a regular desk lamp with 100 watt bulb until today when I sat it in my garage
One of the problems is the heat lamp you’re using go out and get you a couple 6500 K 23 watt true watt CFLs and put it about into in from the top of the plant and it’ll help it grow real well
Thank very much, I will get me a new bulb and let y’all know how it goes.
Well, welcome to the forum!
A couple of things I see. 30-40 at night is too cold for new seedlings. Try to keep the temps in the 60-70 range.
FFOF is good soil once the plant is established. By itself, FFOF has too much nitrogen and other nutrients which can burn or kill some strains. I fill my planting pot with the bottom half of FFOF and the top half a potting mix.
The heat lamp is what likely made the plant fall over. I’ve had that happen when acclimating seedlings to the great outdoors. Too much warm sun and they wilt. I bring them in, carefully water and rest them under a grow light. Most recover and with a true grow light yours should too.

Along with all the great advice you would get from others I recommend you educate yourself😎
Hi - pick up a digital pH and ppm meter. I use the cheap ones on Amazon. Most will recommend spending a little more on the pH meter than the cheap ones. I need to constantly calibrate mine. The cheap ppm meter has never needed to be calibrated, I wouldn’t splurge on that…
Don’t let your plants get below 60 degrees at night, 70 would be better for a night temp. Also, do not overwater. the pots should be light in weight before watering again.
Managing pH and ppms is the solution that will put you on the path. The pH of your water going in should be 6.5. If you add nutrients, after you add them, pH to 6.5, When you water and measure the runoff you want it to be around 6.5 and 1000. Fox farm soil is loaded with nutrients and I’ve read many people go without nutes until flowering. Good luck! you can do this.

Also while they are in the jiffy soil you should water with a ph of 5.5 to 6.0 going in because the jiffy seed start is soiless

First things first , welcome to the playground . Second WHEW glad your plants are doing better .
This is where I have learned literally everything I know about growing except through trial and error. The advice from @GreenCoat to download Robert’s Grow Bible is always some of my first advice to a new grower . It was a great resource for me and I still occasionally reference it for the diagnostic value for a issue with my grow .
Also start collecting stuff . You will find that no matter how much you buy or have there is always a ton more stuff you want . Read journals on here also , I learned so much from just creeping around on old journal’s and reading about other people’s issue’s growing that I was able to avoid a whole list of problems. Good luck

Welcome to the forum
Happy growing
These guys got you pointed in the right direction
When you transplant consider a better quality soil
As was mentioned pH is a big deal and so is quality soil
I personally like Roots organics but fox farm is great too

@Dmaetip Dont Give Up! 
What’s your concern? They look fine… as for the light yellow that’s just nitrogen showing but will pass
