Ok from the pictures provided they look healthy the reason they are stretchy and tall and one is bent over is because the lack of light when plants do not have light they tend to stretch tall and search for the light. And it seems that it has gotten so stretched to the point were it has bent over a little bit not a big issue. just need to keep the light on them. the other seedlings you have seem to be doing good It doesn't look like they will stretch just keep the light low like that but eventually your going to need more light cause that won't be enough light once they get bigger. Tell me more about your grow and strain and soil etc...

yeah get the light alittle closer to them and maybe some air to get them moving some so they gain strength to support there own weight. Do you have more than 1 seed in a couple of those cups?

yo im new to growing aswell..my seedlings did the exact same thing and unfortunatly it got worse and they didnt recover, just keeled right over and dried out. Seems like there is lot reasons why things could have gone wrong so its hard to put my finger on the exact cause. Was using a 4100k 45watt cfl as light 3 inches above, using rockwool and keeping it moist. Some people say over watering some say it was underwatered some say it needed more o2....i dunno just started another one hopefully the same thing doesnt happen again and hopefully urs dont end up like mine. Good Luck!

I'd like to see the growing guide that suggests it's a good idea to put more than 1 seed in a container.

There seems to be alot of that going around lately...

Your seedlings look great! Just keep temps down and move lights as close as possible. Nice germ setup.. looks just like mine!
 
ya i had the temps in 93f at one time...but now with the fan running medium to full speed i can average a temp between 78-82 the perfect temp i want and need

Last grow I had one seedling that wanted to grow anyway it could but up, so I used a small toothpick like stick. Added some air movement within in a week or so it was strong enough and able to grow on its own.

I used a bamboo skewer on one recently. The neat thing is, it's long so you can pull it up as the plant grows until it's stable on its own!
