Real long stems

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?

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.
