Sounds like it's stretched towards the light source, get it closer if you can without burning the plant.

it's probable...
My little it's too far from the light.
I will try to do something.
Can i put it towards the sun light?
thank you

Yep that's stretched, what size light are you using? it needs to be as close as possible.

That isn't anywhere near enough light, you'd be better off sticking it outside, you need a minimum of 200watts imo.

Defiantly more light is needed! Even if you just add more CFL's... get a couple 100w bulbs they're CHEAP!
Also when you transplant you can bury the stalk further up, it will root out.
And try a small fan in you grow area, this helps strengthen the plant as well.

poor thing thats in need of a lot more light.....plus why are you putting it in 12/12 at that early stage........it should be on at least 18 hour light.....be kind ,give it a treat,daylight even as there's plenty at the moment....on the wattage side ,i'm with boner....i use cfl and have 2 x 200 watts

A proper funeral is in order. Don't spend more then a few hundred Euros on a coffin though. RIP little baby. Was it a magic coated green house seed?

How could a seed sprinkled with a little of ' King Cannabis's' magic die?

dont mean to be rude but youve asked this question in every section of the forum and everyones replied with the same answer!
the light source is too far away, use a cfl so the plant can be as close as the light as possible therefore avoiding stretching.
