Plants laying down, HELP.

DWC bubbleponic 25 gallon 6 x 5" net pots 1.5" rockwool plug, hydroton. 2 12" airstones 1/4 dose nutes, 400W MH 4-8 inches away from tops of seedlings.

Okay, i started out with the germs a little late..i didnt have my room setup on time so the babies sprouted quickly, by the time i was able to get them in the rockwool they had already sprouted about an inch. I then got them in the cubes soaked with starter nutes and had them in a humidor under a standard 60W bulb way to far away, by the time that i got a new starter bulb (100w full spectrum) CFL 27,000K. They had stretched up to about 3 inches, kept them in for about a day and decided since they streched so far out i should just plant them in their environment, started out on 275 W 1" from the tops fan oscillating, temp at 85 RH between 45-65, 5.8 Ph with 1/4 nutes slow drip just keeping the rockwool damp.

It's now day 3 in the grow room bumped up the light this morning to 400W still on 18/6 light cycle and all but one of the 6 are laying down flat top leaves growing bigger and green. I have cut straws and propped them up the best that i could, the fans keep knocking them off of the straws. Any suggestions on why they would be laying down? If pics help, ill upload.... Any inputs would be greatly appreciated!

Ha ha shit i ve had this problem b4 with weak clone give them chance under a lower wattage bulb the 400 is to strong for em and stressing them out. or get them on a 18/6 hour cycle you ll find that they will have got themselfs upright after the 6 hours of thr dark period !!

i actully just switched them to a 24 hr after moving them to a new location, alot cooler...the temps were breaking 100+. now im constant at no more than 88 and the top leaves are prospering so much. pulled the light up a little bit and changed my water, its not a drip but constant flow to once every hour. one of them didnt make it, but the other 6 are looking better, still stretched out but not stretching anymore..i wont make the mistake next time of waiting before i plant them in the rockwool.

One it was because i waited to long to get them in rockwool, they had already sprouted almost 2 inches, plus i had them inside of the dome with a regular halogen before i was able to get the cfl on them. After a little nute burn on the res change, they are looking much better and hopefully i will have an update within 2 weeks with some frosty flowers!!!!!
