Looking from afar - aka, the internet, If your ruler is showing 3 inches....your plastic seedling cell in which they are currently planted is like 4 inches deep ? If you root mass allows you to, remove said plant, plant the stem as deep within means within your existing pot. It will give you a bigger root system, less chance of your plant toppling over as it grows bigger with a long lank stem that you show in ur pic.

I can't tell from the pic if ur lamp has a plastic cover diffuser or if it's just the output of the light making it look as such. Either way the top leaves should be closer to the lap. The reason why they are so leggy is that they are stretching - reaching for the light. Drop the light lower is what the posters are advising
