New grower could use some help

Hi,

So glad I found this site. I am a first time grower and am having issues of course.
The strain is Amnesia Hashplant. I germinated in straight coco coir. All popped and started off great. They are seven days old now. In that time, they stretched about 2 - 2 1/2" and two have collapsed. I'm going to try and repot them all tomorrow and bury the stems deeper to hopefully prevent any more of them collapsing.

I am starting these indoors to transplant outdoors as soon as possible. Due to the extra stretching, I was thinking about maybe adding a couple of inches of Roots 707 on top when repoting to give them a little help. Does this sound like a good idea?

Future plan after two weeks is to up pot into Roots 707 mix, and then when older into straight Roots Organics soil.

I have no indoor lights whatsoever. I have them in solo cups on a window sill that has direct sunlight from around 1pm - 7pm. Is that enough light?

I'm hoping to use the sun and not any artificial light if possible. I could put them outside, but temps are in the mid 80's and a bit windy and they are still very fragile. Any help would be truly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I'm contemplating moving them outside at this point to get more light. I'm just worried they are too fragile, but I also can't sit and just watch them die either. I don't have any artificial lights or a set up at this point, so I'm kind of on the spot so to speak. Anyone have any advice on how to break them in outside at this point without killing them? Weather is about 80 - 85 degrees.

Also, is adding a little Roots 707 when repotting a good idea at this point. I was going to wait but because of the extra stretching, I want to give them a little extra nourishment. Good idea, bad idea? Once again, any advice is appreciated.

No extra just fix the light. Dont repot more than 1/2 inch. Soil below that stays moist much longer expecially witth seedlings and the stem may rot and dampen off

As already mentioned it's stretching because it's not getting light. Use a stake or plant tie or whatever to keep it standing upright and just put it outside. It doesn't need to break in, it's a weed remember
