Aerogarden 3 seedlings question

Hey guys, first time grower here. I found my mom's old aerogarden 3 in the garage and decided to give it a go. I added a second air pump and using GH Flora series for nutes. I know the plants will be small and not a huge yield, but that works for me because i need to keep it low key. Anyways, I have two seedlings that sprouted 2 days ago and are looking pretty good. The one on the left is Star killer and the one on the right is just random bag seed. Is there anyway in hydroponics to cover them more up closer to the cotlyedons? I know that helps but just wasn't sure if possible in this set up. I'm open to all suggestions and tips.

What do you mean by "cover them more closer?"

I'm not sure about the details of that device, but you might have to feed them with a dropper or a bottle until the roots get more established. You might want to use a foam netpot with neoprene lid like this for future grows. You could just buy a few of the foam covers if you want to give the seedling more support. Not sure what typical household items you could use.....might be able to find something similar you can just cut yourself.

Yeah it's in one of those already. I meant like you know in a soil grow you can add a little more soil to help give it a stronger base. I was wondering if you could do something similar. Thanks for the response

Get your lights down closer to them so they don't keep stretching (assuming you can).
