Seedling fell over...Idea on best way to prop her up?

[Deke]

So I was trying to take a couple pictures and gently bumped a pot and the seedling falls over slowly! I immediately propped it back up against an empty water bottle.
This is my tallest seedling by about 2", (she's about 5" tall others are 3-3.5") she was the last to sprout, but since has outgrown most the others. Here's a pic of her right before , and her with her makeshift seedling holder-upper thingy.
So any ideas to keep her propped up, or is this ok? Do you think the fall damaged her?
I just got my fan in today, that tall girl out grew my timeframe, I'm going to add fan on low to get them moving a bit. I guess it was going along too smoothly, the ganja gods gave me a little reminder that it can go sideways at any moment, don't get cocky, lol.

Ideas and thoughts welcome/needed.

I take a solo cup and cut a section out, place around the seedling (like you did) and then fill with medium. Cannabis will throw roots higher up the stem. Leave it there till the end, or remove later after the stalk has strengthened.

popsicle or shish ka bob sticks work great,take about 3 of them and place next to seedling so it stays relatively straight.

Along with standing it up (i would use straws or sticks) lower your light so it dosnt stretch so much

(Definitely take above advise)

Thanks everyone. Well she's still alive as of now. I'm looking for my kabob sticks as I type.
Arthur, I think I'm going to try the "prop it up thing" but if I see no improvement then I think I'm doing as you recommend.
Heres a non "COB red " color shot of her a few mins ago.

The manuf said 36-40" for seedlings. I started at like 39". They are at 33-34" above right now. What height do you think they should be? Right now they are under a 600w 3 light COB. I'll be adding another one soon.

two thing to do.... 1 blow a fan on her to stiffen her up. 2 your pot has two inch's at the top, pile up some medium to hold her up. propping them up does not solve the problem.
these other things make the stem stiffer, so she can stand alone.

Bingo, exactly what I did. Worked like a charm.

Thanks for the suggestions. So if if I go this direction hows the best way to do it? How much of the stem do you cover? I'm trying not to water much right now, so would I wet all the soil I use?
Sorry for all the questions, but I've never done what you're suggesting, and want to make sure I do it correctly.

Just mound up some soil around stem, doesn’t need to be wet. They water as normal.
