Greetings,

My Verbena Bonariensis seedlings, which have very thin stems, are not growing
straight up.  They appear to be hunching over and they have been that way for
more than a week.  The plants are growing their second set of leaves now.
Could the weight of the leaves be a factor in the stems' bending?  

The seedlings are two inches from the lights, which I have on for 14 hours a
day.  The lights are two 40-watt Phillips Agrolights.  I'm not overwatering
and I have a small fan on all the time.  What could be wrong, or is this
normal?

Thanks for you help.
