Weak stems falling over

Hi my auto flowers are in about week 4 out of their 8 week seed to flower time. During the first week they stretched a lot because I had my light too high and the stems were so weak I had to pile up dirt to hold them up. They got a tad stronger after moving the light closer. I started training them yesterday and the stem is still very week. Any suggestions? Should I stop training? They are bent(from training) and still wobbly in the soil.

Those look like they are stretching towards your light. What light are you using?
 
Those are not properly trained. All you did was move the center of the plant over to the side of the pot.

I’m using 2 rapid led chilled logic pucks. My light was super far in the beginning but it’s about 2/3 feet from them now is that still too far?

2/3rds of a foot or 2 or 3 feet? Those should be probably 18-22 inches away from the top of plants.

Do you have a fan blowing on them? If not add one and it will strengthen the stem. Don't let it blow on them too hard but a gentle breeze will be helpful.
 
Lights should be 18" from the top of your plants.

I'm running a 560W G8 LED C2 and its 10" from my canopy. And my LST isn't even above 80⁰

You can move lights closer
 
regarding fans. I have 3 8in fans blowing around the bottom of my 4x4

And 3 6" at the top blowing air up there towards the carbon filter
