Ok, I had four seedlings - growing them in soil and sunlight as I am waiting for my lights. They were all going strong until a couple of days ago when 2 of them went really floppy (leaves and stem) till the point they couldn't hold themselves up. Judging from the extensive research I have been doing over the last couple of weeks I think I may have over-watered them. What do you think?

could be. or if u dont have enough sunlight in ur area, they will stretch, and become more unstable. try to lean em up againts a stick or somethin and water when the top inch of soil is dry

It sounds like your leaves are drooping and that happens when you overwater and if they're pretty lanky for what they should be then they're stretching for light. I water my seedlings when the top inch of my soil turns dry.

Cheers guys - I thought it could be the over-watering, just me mothering them too much I guess! Although, it has been very cloudy for the last 2 days whereas it was really sunny before - could that be having an impact?
