Those stocky seedlings are grown in 50-60 degrees which makes them grow slower. Also, I found out that they are sprayed with growth inhibitors.

I just keep the light bulbs within 1 inch of the tops of the plants. Do you have a fan running on your plants to force them to grow stronger stems?

Keep in mind I've never had a problem with getting tomatoes even out of leggy plants.
