So google results like this?

Seedlings intended for outdoor growing should be kept by a sunny window for the first week or two after emerging from the soil. When they have grown their second or third set of serrated leaves (after the the round cotyledons that initially emerge from the seed) seedlings are usually hardy enough to flourish in direct sunlight.
When to plant your cannabis seedlings outside?
If outdoor temperatures are suitable, seedlings may be acclimatised to direct sunlight by giving them progressively longer daily exposure to outdoor conditions.
Starting with about three hours outside, at the sunniest time of day, seedlings can be given an extra hour of outside exposure each day, so that within about two weeks they can be left outdoors permanently.

Notice that what @DeadHeadX is pretty much on par, with the article.

Yeah I do notice the fact that he forgot to add seedling to the google search, as did you.
I get that OP is making some mistakes but giving bad advice is even worse when you guys should know better.
The amount of sunlight is not the issue here!

Who is giving bad advice? I don’t see anyone giving advice at all other than pointing out that too little light and unpredictable watering will not help grow a healthy plant. I guess the implicit advice is more light and careful monitoring of water. Bad advice?

Sounds like he might be moving into a period of increased light. That would surely be helpful.

Ok.... then what's the issue?

I think light is just one of the issues. Taking a completely hands-off approach and leaving watering up to the whims of the weather is also likely a big one. I'm really bad at seedlings, but here are my current set, 1 week above soil.

If mine looked like OP's after 3 weeks and seed availability wasn't a big issue, I'd yank them, form a new strategy, then sprout some new seeds and try again.

Yes it would be helpful if he gets it to a stage where it can handle it. Maybe by removing it from the heat of the roof and regular watering, which was my point the whole time.
If the amount of light was an issue it would be a leggy seedling that falls over with the wind.
