i would say they arnt getting enough light
never done an outdoor grow like that but ive never had anything stretch out that tall
get something to hold it up =D like a grill held up with some bricks or a stick or something and see if u can give it more light ?

plant them up to about 2 inches below the leaves when u repot. whole stemm will root out, if indoor get closer to the lights for sure. outdoors not much u can do except place it in a spot with more light if its currently getting shade.

i would say you should replant it and burry that stem all the way up to pretty jmuch the bottom of those first little feeder leaves making sure not to have it touching the soil though as to prevent rotting and see if they keep stretching like that if so your gonna have to start staking them up and that would be caused by poor light damn danky beat me to it

yeah it needed a lot of light during its first few days of life but the rain was too long thats why this tall,very tall and stretchy. you guys are right and thanks for it, always appreciate those helpful tips.wud repot but not too much for those precious cotelydons,a couple of inch from them and yeah skanked1st. wud try to give more light, as in every chance i spot them i wud position them, cant afford to lose this one..

Definately needs more light.

You can still save it.

Add more light.

Stake it up with a little stick and string.

Try and put a light breeze on it with a fan. This will help harden the stem and make it strong.

If you DO bury the stem,
be sure that the soil is not super-saturated with water
or you might have problems of dampening-off (mold).
