Are my Watermelon seedlings dying?

10 years ago

This is my first time trying to start watermelon seedlings indoors. I have not noticed any true leaves yet, though the stems have gotten quite tall (a few inches each). I was getting a bit worried that the stems are growing but the true leaves haven't come in. I have never attempted this before, but the leaves look to be a very rich and dark shade of green, so I thought everything was ok.

However, I just continued to keep them a couple inches from the light, and yesterday I added some water and fish fertilizer (5-1-1) diluted after noticing one of my five watermelon seedlings collapsed.

This afternoon, a second one collapsed and now I am worried that I have done something wrong and wondering how I can save the other three.

I will include two pictures, one from each side. Can anyone please help?
