Skinny Sativas

Hi There - I am growing outdoors for the second year running after a very successful first year i thought i would change tactics. I decided to plant my sativa seeds in a pot and leave to germinate indoors and put them on the windowsill during the day. What i have noticed is that they are all growing thing and gangly and because of the wind the stalks have buckled on some and i had to lose them. The last one i have now (before planting some more) is tallish but i get the feeling its dead because the leaves are starting curl and the stalk feels quite dry. I attach the pic tho its not great quality but comments if any would be welcome . Would people agree that its best to just leave them outside , protected a little from the wind as soon as they burst out the soil? I didnt have this issue last year when i left them outside to their own devices......I live in Italy so the climate is getting hot now.

Replace that "dirt" with Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil:

Well , i would consider that if i lived in the US but i dont think i will order potting soil to Italy from across the Atlantic - When planting shall leave it in the potting soil or mix in a bit of the clay soil i have?

Its not the wind. Wind will make them stronger. They're "stretching" due to not enough light. Thats why its tall and thin. Re-bury it with dirt right up to the bottom node, and let it get full on sun. The window sill is not good enough.
