lancestorm,here are pics of my petunias under lights,Iam thinking light is your problem,or not close enough,your stems should not be that tall,i know 1/2 -1 inch is not very tall,but its enough to cause problems.My lights sit right on top of the plants,get the lights down on top of them ,no more than an 1-2 inches above them,as long as you are using just flouresent tubes,not grow lights,and Iam not sure how forgiving petunia seedlings are about piling dirt up around them,but I would try to save them too,my heart aches when i lose plants!!!Iam sure you dont want to hear this, it is the first time I have ever started any seeds under lights,things are going really well ,knock on wood!!!
