Weak stem?

Hi again, I shared pictures two weeks ago or so of my trouble seedlings and they are both doing much better now! Thank you guys for your input. Flu have kept me down so I didnt get around to let you guys now. 

 

On the picture you can see my oldest plant, I think it is doing great but if I didnt have the tweezer there for support I fear it would tip over. Will this improve? Is it normal? Is it perhaps a non-issue?  Roots are showing on the bottom.

 

The strain is CBD Tonic if that helps.

    • You need to bury that stem all the way to your cotyledons.

        • Do you have an oscillating fan blowing on it? The wind will strengthen the stem.

          • I do have a fan blowing, I think that part is ok.

          • Top it and cut back on water. Topping it will strengthen the whole plant.

              • can transplant -- most of all consider using a root stimulator in the 1st few week of fgrowth  this is a necessary product, figure this one needs a very good base (roots) for growing. need a few places to get:  Extreme Gardening.com offer a sample pack of for $8.00 with 6 products, also Great White, Orca(Plant Revolations)  Don't top  this must waite till at least 5 node before topping - remember whn toppping this will add time in veg; at least 1 week

                • This plant is doing great now. I will probably try Great white or similar for future grows, I saw some for sale here locally.
