Why is my plant stretching weird? I have three that are exhibiting the same behavior, so I'm not sure what I can do to change it. Any advice to fix this? Thank you!

Definitely light, like the others have said. You should stake your plants they are going to need it, otherwise they will just topple over. They can still come back from this. Give it around 18 hours of light and 6 hours of sleep. Find vegetative stage grow lights LED for better energy savings and you'll be fine. Good Luck!

They NEED 6-8 hours of direct sunlight as a minimum, not just indirect lighting coming through a window. Sunshine on their leaves in other words.

weak stems from stretching too much.. need more light one way or another. use a prosthetic to prop up any that flal over.. you don't want them touching soil for long periods of time. tape a couple toothpicks together, a paperclip, something... popsicle stick... it's temporary anyway. double up some tape to make a 'flag' and that can be the prop to hold plant in place. nothing restraining growth, merely something to lean on.

When you have them in a window or outdoors they move with the sun.

Te recomiendo cubras el tallo con sustrato porque con un viento fuerte se podrían romper!! Ese estiramiento es causado por falta de luz, muévelas a donde les de mas luz directa! Nada de que preocuparse!

They're searching for light champ 🏆, lower the light or change the settings if you have to stronger settings for light, trust me they'll get back to normal also if u want meantime put some tooth picks holding them straight for Leverage. Good luck 👍
