I have a light, but it only has red(mostly) and blue light, and I'm currently only using the sun because I was afraid that the led would be too bright. This is the plant with the stretching issues, it popped up 3 days ago

It looks just fine to me. At 3 days, they all look long and skinny, haha!
Sun is good, red/blue LED is also good.
Just make sure it's not too hot for them, i.e. nothing over maybe 25 C = 77 F.
With these little seedlings, apart from heat, another important issue is moisture / humidity.
They want to be a little moist, coz if the roots dry up they'll die.
But... if they get too moist and it's cooler, then they may get "damping off", which is when the stem flops over.

You're doing great!

It's a bit stretchy, get that light closer to stop stretching. At seedling stage I keep my LED lights about 30 inches up, and move it to 20 inches when the second set of leaves come out. As the plant grows closer to the light, raise it up. At flowering stge, as the plants stretch I can get it as close as 8 inches or so.

My last plant grew right into the light, and it didn't burn till it was touching the light itself. LED's are awesome. The drawback seems to be mostly light penetration into the canopy interior. That's where good plant training comes in handy, separate the stalks open up the canopy.
