Real long stems

[nagoist]

My plants seem to be doing fine except for having really long stems. As far as i understand this is because they are not getting enough light.

I have one 20W CFL and one 9W led about 5-6 inches from the plants and the plants are placed on a window sill because i figured they could use the extra light.
I am going to make a led strip build and the parts will get here in about 5 days. I will plant the stems deeper when i move them to a bigger pot

Should i add some extra temporary lights or will my plants be fine until i get my led strips running?

You are going to need alot more light than a 20w CFL and 9w LEDs and LED strips.

You need grow lights. Real, Grow lights.

You started the seeds too early. Bury them deep and hopefully no delays with the light

I understand that these lights are obviously not enough. My grow lights are being shipped.
I just wanted some opinions on if they will survive on sunlight and these 2 bulbs for a few days.

Yes. You are growing a weed. It will live but to get the best end product you need to give it what it's asking for.

There's room for a soil top up, keep light a bit closer and get another 1 or 2 if you can while you main light comes.

Rotate the pots so the plant head grows more straight. Looks like it is leaning to gather more light on its leaf's.
