I agree that it sounds like not enough light, or being too far away from the bulb.

Legginess can be corrected by transplanting. Just bury the excess stem, and it will grow roots. When I sell plants in 4" pots, they have already been transplanted twice at that point, from starting mix to 6packs, then to the 4" pots. Each transplanting solves any legginess I have.
