Leaning & bending

Okay so it’s been about 3 days and my one plant is doing the same thing. I’ve played around with the light. I don’t think it’s that considering all the other plants are doing great. I germinated and planted them all the same way. Paper towel two days and planted them all about 1/2-1/4 inch down. Taproot plenty down the soil. I dampened the water before planting (one area I’m not sure if I messed up or not). There wasn’t runoff but it was very wet. Then I pinched dirt over and dropped a couple more drops on top. The leaves look so healthy. They are growing and seem to have a good healthy color. I just have extremely skinny stems that seem to big to support the leaves. Again on the 1500 videos and websites I’ve looked at that explain stretching, I truly don’t believe that is it. It doesn’t make sense my plants are not y’all at all they’ve grown maybe half an inch in 3-4 days. They don’t seem to need any more light, and like I said I planted them all the same way so if it was the light, why wouldn’t any of the other plants had a problem? One picture shows the root very well. If any one else had this issue and can help, I’d really rather not loose this specific strain. It couldn’t have been the left one. Smh. The last picture is all I figured I can do for it now but the way the root is curling out and back into the soil I’m not sure if it’s able to be saved or not.

Same as in your other thread, you need more/better lighting.

If the stems cannot support the leaves, that means they are stretching for light. When they stretch for light, the stems get weak as the plant is spending its little bit of energy to get the stem taller instead of stronger.
 
Whenever I searched for the cause of seedlings falling over the culprit is quoted usually as too much water or not enough light which may very well be true but since your other plants seem fine it is hard to say. I have had them fall over and after staking them upright they grow fine without changing anything else.
