:makeupOr! You could try just leaving them alone and watching them straighten out all on their own, just because they can/will.
Try growing some seedling starts under the sun. I guarantee you will find that they do exactly this. Some will list over to one side, others will stay short, others yet will stretch and stretch straight up as though they're not getting enough light.
Two months later you won't be able to tell who was who. ;)
Check out my thread for a SSSDH mom and/or dad! I use the DJ Short seedling method. After they pop you put them in 4" pots or beer cups. Fill the cup or pot half way, then when your beans get lanky and unsupported you top off the cup. This ensures a strong root system as the buried stalk will develop roots and help support the plant as it grows. I have pictures from seed to just prior to sexing. Check it out!

Thanks for the link, I needed that! I just lost 2, tryin to save 3 now using this method (they were already bent over tho. :( ).... Now I got some more sprouting with all the support they should need... :)
... Some say put the light closer, how close can I put a 1000w hps to seedlings? The light is about 3-4 feet above them now (6ft ceiling, light all the way up, the cups are sitting on upside down buckets.)...

I agree with crombien211 about planting lower in cups and filling it in as they grow. Ive read some where that seeds have better female rates with like 4inches to start in but have never see any test done.
