I have a FL grow light 2" from the tops. and foil surrounding the area dull side out to deflect it. I have also (since they are no more than an inch or 2 below soil) have dug arround the seedling and lowered it into the the soil and coverd the stem 1" from the bottom of the first foliage, hopefully aerating the soil (may have been too compacted not allowing for O2 flow) and lowering the sprout deeper into the soil. If this IS a light problem is it because I have the WRONG light?

Your first answer was correct. Not enough light. The more direct light you can provide, the better. Else they'll reach high, far and wide for whatever light they can get. "Grow light" bulbs can be purchased which might help some if you can't get them in enough direct sunlight.

you need more light and better air circulation--if your using one of those clear domes, take it off for a few minutes several times a day. if youre using flourescent lights, lower them, they should be only 6 inches above the plants--max.
