They are already stretching looking for more light. Looks like that window isn't going to cut it. I would look for someplace else to put them or invest in a grow light. A setup for 1 or 2 plants can be had fairly cheap.

An inexpensive fluorescent light can be adequate for a plant's early life, but not for flowering.

for the first few weeks, even a 10W or so everyday LED bulb, or older 20W fluo not too far would do the job.
