Seem healthy but way too small

Hello everyone and thank you for checking out my
Hello everyone and thank you for checking out my thread. So I have a Carpathian Mazar and a Freedom seeds midnight express. Both are at DAY 8 heading into 9 and from my newbie eyes(first grow) they look healthy being that I've grown all sorts of vegetables but they are runt sized. I see other grows and individuals have plants that stick up above the rim of the pot now. I germed both seeds in a shot glass for 24 hours. Only one popped but I put both into the soil as germing in water seemed like "priming" to me. Anyway both sprouted out of the dirt the same day. Both are in Dr. Earths black bag potting soil which I mixed in coco and perlite. Guestimating right now but I mixed it with a red solo cup. Every 5 cups of soil I put two cups of perlite and 2 cups of coco. I then wet the soil some with a little calimag and humboldts secret golden tree. I let the soil set for 24 hours before I put the seeds in. My temps fluctuate between 81F and 92F. Humidity fluctuates between 22 and 45. Not sure how. I've only given them one good watering and I mist everyday Because I was told that is what can raise the humidity. Can you please look at my plants and tell me if in fact they are healthy or not? Them being so small is it a problem being that it's day 9? I already have an exhaust with the carbon filter acting as a scrubber and a clip on fan inside and I keep the bottom vents open so not much more I can do about the heat other than keeping my closet door open which seems to help slightly. I seen a suggestion about a humidifier. Will the ones that babies use in their room work? I can get one for about $5 at cosignment store if you think it's necessary. Here are the pics below of my set up. All comments and suggestions are well appreciated.

Hello T, I purchased a cool mist humidifier and it has brought my temps down to the lowest at 69F and humidity to 99% at full power but I tuned it down and my temps are now floating between 74F-81F and humidity between 60-70. Overnight the babies look 10 times better. As I am a noob, they look great so far in comparison to what they were two days ago. Hopefully they start to show me that they are true autos.
 
Hello yall. I know I said a couple days but things are looking so much on the positive side that I couldn't help myself. Decided to keep it on full blast all night which was crazy because my humidity got to 99% :shrug:. Anyway, yesterday I did give them a small feeding of humboldts secret golden tree, calimag, superthrive and dr. earths starter fertilizer. I'm not sure if it's the humidity, me raising the lights, the ferts or a combination of all but they sure as heck look great right now. Second set of leaves seem to have increased in size overnight. Thank you guys for all the help, and I know where to go if I need more. I am a true believer in the humidifier. Only $5 too. Well onto the pictures.View attachment 482398 View attachment 482399 View attachment 482400 View attachment 482401 View attachment 482402 View attachment 482403

Autos can handle high temps as long as the rootzone stays cool. I found autos don't like warm or cold feet. Tho most iv grown can easily handle 90's during veg and 80's in flower as long as they have comfy feets. VoV iv also found you can hold an outo back a week or two by keeping the rootzone between 60-65F the plant just stops growing and restarts where it left off when it warms up. I found that out by accident a couple of winters ago. :P pushed a 70 day auto to almost 100 days!!
 
Keeping the RH up is really important with seedlings, especially when temps are up. Use plastic cups or do what I do, I use a clear plastic salad bowl placed up side down to cover several seedlings. It does the trick 10-14 days. Also reduces the heat by 5 degrees c due to the shielding.
