Window Sunlight

So I just moved to a new house and some of my light equipment is lagging behind, so I'm having to make due for a few days. Seeds germed very fast, in a day or so, and had broken out of the soil a day or 2 after that. To compensate for few powerful CFL's, I have been putting all my plants in 'direct sunlight' near windows. I was wondering if, even through the glass, that sunlight will make due for 2-3 more days until I get more 100w CFL's and a HPS moved in. Also, the plants get about 5-7 hours a day of what seems to me to be good sunlight.

Seedlings only need 250 lumens per sq foot. So go to Wal-mart get a $6 shop light and 2, 4 foot fl bulbs.

they may get a little stressed when you with the light over not to much tough sunlight is natural to plants, but indoor seeds are better suited for artificial conditions. just keep that in mind an try to keep all of the other stress to an absolute min.
