well looks like you burn't it or overwatered it. what kind of lights??? looks to me like ur growing them with regular light bulb? they are way to stretched out and wont support itself when in time of need. i would scrap them, start over and get some flourecent lights, coil's work, get the biggest ones you can(most wattage).. also do they have good air circulation? go to my grow journals and read it. if you find the first one you will be able to see when i first started. and then my second try. it progress's to get better as i read more, its good that you have read alot. means i dont have to explain as much.
 
You definetly have to do something, Look at the main stem, shes pretty small ... If you wanna keep these plants what i would do is put your lights alot farther down, depending on what you are using ... I would just use cfls ( compact fluresents ) like said above. Them i would get a real small fan and put it on them to help strengthen the stem ....
 
Well. the lights im using are plant lights from target they were like 4 bucks, i will highly consider buying florecent lights, i wont scrap my plants tho cuz i got no more seeds :( thanks for the help guys. :) and i have a fan going on at all times
 
No offence man, but you need a lot of help. LOL Lights and ventalation are 2 of the 3 things a plant needs. The third is soil. Now, your soil looks nice and dark which usually means it has pleanty of nutrients in it to last your plants a few months at least. So it's too early to start adding more ferts. How ever, your soil appears to have a lot of big chunks of wood and bark in it. These work well to airate the soil, but also absorb a lot of water and wont release it very easily. They also make your soil more acidic depending on the type of wood and bark. If it's pine, look out.
Just my 2 cents.
