Broken Sappling stem.

Hey all! My first post here.
I messed up all around on starting this little outdoor grow. Started with 5 fem seeds, kept them in solo cups outside and the wind literally ripped them all out and carried them away after I germinated and transplanted lol :(

Now with 5 new seeds, I didn't allow them to root bound in the solo cup before putting into the 5gal, for fear of the wind doing the same again. Instead, the wind snapped their stems right at the base and flattened them.

I stood them up, brought them in the shed for 2 nights, put tooth picks and chop sticks w string as a crutch for all of them. 2 of them bounced back perfectly fine and are taking off, but the other 3 aren't doing so hot. (Pics attached)
The stem snapped right at the base, and it's so thin, I can't really tape it or anything, or really even see the snap perfectly.
This was about 1 week ago now. So they're not dead yet. They have green tops, so that gives me hope.
I had to pinch two leaves off the second one, they were buried and dead.
Will they survive? And I know that stress can make them go male, but these are feminized seeds. Can they still go male when stressed if feminized?
Thank you!20210411_152152.jpg20210411_152145.jpg20210411_152134.jpg20210411_152126.jpg
