That hydrodude again
What is the distance of the light(s) to the seedlings? I know when I had some problems with seedlings streching at their beginnings, it really helped to simply bring the lights closer.
I only can advice about that I've used, so 75w HS1 was around 40cm distance to the seedling. Obviously COB's and more high powered LED's should be set higher, maybe 70cm? Hope this helps.

Thank u i think. Thats what it may be i didnt have the proper hangers for my light so i had em up too high so i did 2 things i added more coco up to the neck dat way it supports. The tiny stem n brought my lihght closer the look happier before. N after pics top pic is after
Does not look serious to me, should be good with the light adjustment. Keep a little breeze going over the seedlings will help to strengthen up the stems if the look a little spindly.

...again, what are the light distances to the pots? Seedlings want less intense lighting than older plants,... looks very red in spec' in the pic,.. you don't have the bloom lights on do you? that said, it's not uncommon to get some odd stretching,.. I've had some do it even under the Sun, with light duty shade cloth,...
