In your first picture, I can still see their upright growth habit. You just have so many so close--they all look like one, beautiful plant. Is that one a Metel or a Currant Swirl?

I suppose I could constrain their legginess if I planted them in a--say--5 gallon pot and dug it into the bed. I do that with my Daturas. Of course--the pot has holes cut out all around it and the roots do grow through them, but it makes it easier to dig up and drag inside.

Your germination rate is great--time wise. I just planted mine on 3/1 and have them sitting on a tray on the bottom-most shelf of my light set-up. The shelf sits right over a heat vent on the floor--so I am hoping the seeds get some semblance of a heating pad.
I pretty much expect them to take about 3 weeks (minimum) to germinate.

This is all I have to work with doing my seeding and under the lights.....3' set-up....
Don't have room for a 4' shelf and lights....
