Seedling question

Hi all,
Ive recently started my first go at indoor gardening and am having some issues with 3 of my seedlings. The setup is 6 cfls being exhausted and the ventilation is proper for the setup. I have other seedlings that look to be flourishing but these 3 earlyskunk x chemdawg bx are looking to be possibly heat stressed ? Temperatures get up to 84 sometimes at the top of the cab and the seedlings are about an inch or two under the cfls. Leaves look to be flourishing as well but they keep falling over and I need some advice. I am trying to upload a photo but its not allowing me at the moment, hopefully soon I can upload photos for visual reference.

This is what the seedlings look like. I have supported one by using toothpicks and string but it too has continued to fall over as well!!

Looks like the tap root wasn't strong enough to hold 'her' up and it's stretching for light.
You could add a little more coco to the container if possible, and bury it a few millimeters shy of the first leaves.
...or you could just wait till you re-pot and be sure to bury that girl down. At least get a fan on it if you're not going to transplant or add medium so it strengthens up a bit and can tolerate the weight of new growth.
84 is definitely too warm for little girls like that. There is the possibility of dehydration and death.
Try and get those temps down to the mid seventies and get some humidity in there for now.

You can use a paper clip as a little stake. Do that all the time when that happens. But yea, definitely too hot for those babies. Keep it green.
