my little gal is 10 days old

well i made i mistake and had my light a little too high for a few day and the stem grew to long. i corrected the light and it seemed to be doing fine until the leaves started coming in. the leaves became to heavy and toppled the plant. i added some support to the stem to keep it upright. my question is my plant doomed with this long stem or if i keep it well supported the plant will be fine.
 
you can always repot the plant, burrying a little deeper and adding more soil to give it increased stability... and get an oscillating fan to blow across the plant and it will strenthen the stem.

a bit of stretch is no real worry, so long as it doesnt get too out of control
 
Contrary to what you've heard, growers who do not FIM and grow large indoor plants, for there main cola's, prefer a little stretch on there plants, as it increases airflow, and reduces the chance of mold.
