Default basil parsley and cilantro help

this is my first year starting them from seed. i started them just after my tomatoes expecting them to grow at similar pace and be about the same size.

i was way off in that prediction. my tomatoes are 12 inches tall and all these little herbs i have are maybe 2 inches tall.

should i be feeding them anything at this point? i gave them a very light dose of bat guano 10-3-1 but that hasnt done much.

they are still in the starting trays in jiffy starting mix. i tried to pull a basil out to put in my garden and it definitely wasnt ready to be removed.

also my cilantro has gotten leggy and fallen over/blown over.

everything is being kept outdoors in 50-60 degree weather and indoors at night and windy and rainy conditions
