Greetings, all-

Legginess in any plant seedlings can be ameliorated by exposing them 
to the breeze from a fan for a few hours each day.  One of the major 
benefits of  'hardening-off' [taking seedlings outside during the 
warmer daylight hours in early spring] is exposure to air currents 
that causes the plant stems to thicken & get stronger.

Regards,

Gene
