no you have weak stems because your plants need more lumens, use 3# 26watt COMPACT florescent bulbs (they use less energy and put out more light than a regular florescent). just so you know, you cant operate a high pressure sodium bulb without a HPS ballast and an HPS reflector which can be a little more than expensive so if you need a cheaper way to grow just ask me n ill tell you how i grow without all that stuff.
Good luck!

They are streching bad, move your light closer. That should help.

They are stretched way out dude get those lights within 1 or 2 inches and they will start to bush outward and not upward... Good luck

you can do that but i'd wait a week then bury it and leave like an inch or so between the the dirt and those first leaves

Shouldn't damage the plant, just don't overdo it with the water.

You can re pot and burry up to the first set of round leaves, I did when that happened to me and my girls are looking just fine now! 2 weeks away from flowering

If your plant has stretched and you bury it close to the first set of "fake" leaves it won't have any ill affects just don't go to far or you might have problems with the root rot... It will help strengthen the main stem!!!
