Just be careful putting them in direct sunlight, if you have weak lights on them now and put them it direct sunlight you will probably kill them with too much light.

not good thats a halogen light. nothing good in that light for a plant. when you go to transplant out doors just put it in the ground a littele deeper.

if they are getting top heavy and falling ver chances are its because the plants are stretching for more light. how long haa it been since they've sprouted? how far away is your light? what light setup are you using? as long as you didnt break the stems they are still able to be rebirthed! use toothpicks or a few small sticks, stick 3 in the dirt around your plants and run a piece of wire or string or even a twist tie and wrap it around the sticks/toothpicks so that the plants have some source of support... run a fan in the room 24/7 eventually the plants stem will regain strength and be able to stand up on its own!

stick a stick down in the soil and take a paper clip and make it in2 the shape off a triangle and put it around the top of your plant and stick it works everytime for me
