Do not waste those seedlings. Like Mushroom man said just fill it in when you transplant. It will actually make a stronger root system. Roots form on the covered stem. Watch your humidity and water because rot is a con for this method but i have had only 1 seed die of rot out of literally hundreds.
I do all my plants like this when growing from seed.

Yeah like they said. For now put just a little more soil in there to nearly the top of the cup to give the stem a little more sturdiness and the fan should harden it up until you do your transplant and bury the stem.
Personally I LIGHTLY scrape the stem w/ a knife blade perpendicular to the stem where it will be buried and brush rooting powder on, but that's not necessary, it just improves the amount of new roots.
Make sure not to water them until the soil is nearly dry. Overwatering is the main cause of SSDS (Sudden Seedling Death Syndrome)
Yes, I did just make that up on the spot, but seriously, most people over water and it will kill a seedling in no time. I'll help you out more later, i'm just so fucking high I can't even keep my eyes open. Peace

Now that I'm sober I have to agree with Inverted, Smoke and of course MushMan. Just plant them deeper. I totally overlooked this technique last night in my drunken stupor. Definitely DON'T start over. I'm kicking myself for even saying that now.

The seedlings all died. Not sure if it was from the transplant, maybe over watering, or maybe the move into the grow closet was too intense
Anyways new seeds have been placed in jiffy pots. I raised the light up a bit. Hopefully they sprout and hold up better than the first round
If not its back to the drawing board.

Please, everyone bow there heads in silence, we have lost children today.
It is a real shame about those seedlings...
At least, you have more experience under your belt and that should make this second run a lot smoother.

Definitely, this first run is mainly a learning experience. Hopefully these second batch pop their heads out
If not im going to try germinating in some paper towel

My brother isnt the smartest dude. I think the closet might not be getting enough fresh air or something
He runs a fan 24/7 (box fan) and then just has a 4''x4'' square cut at the top where the air duct fits in
I think he's going to try germinating the rest of the seeds and if those dont work it will be back to the drawing board
