New plant flopping

Hi all..first time posting on weedguru. Im trying to grow myself some plants just to see how it goes. I have three plants which i planted 2 weeks ago. They are all about 4 inches high now, in 12cm pots. 2 of them are fine but one has flopped/drooped to over the edge of the pot in the last day or two. Any ideas why this happened? They're just on my desk at the moment under a 250w light which is about 6 inches from the plants. I am planning to transplant them into bigger pots next week and put them into a better growing area.

Thanks

Possibly rootbound... possibly underwatering... possibly, got a pic?

Damping off. Is it like the stem just suddenly couldnt hold the plant up, so instead of being like a straight stem with some small leaves at the top, the stem lost all its strength, and bended over, sagged until the plant laid down on the dirt?

Thats damping off, and by now you should not have anything living there anymore.

Try again, watch your conditions, dont use any fertilizer for the first two weeks, use Distilled water not tap, and DONT over-water - only water when the soil is *dry*.

Good luck,
Goo
