Thank you, although I think it has a lot to do with the amount and kind of lighting I have been using. Beyond that -- yes, the nutrient program is also important.

What is the wind tolerance at this stage if they are well watered? Am I stressing plants too much, or do they naturally adapt to the harsher environment?

They might naturally snap off at the base

I'd harden them off outdoors with a lot of wind protection and perhaps a pencil-size stake in the pot. Also maybe it's just a daytime activity for you because I'd want the temperatures to be at least 60F.
