Been trying to grow different flowers. Most of them germinate just fine, but they die after a week or so and due to them all having thin / weak stems like the one in the photo. They are all in seed trays and, apart from the sunflower, are less than an inch tall when they die. Have direct sunlight for 6-8 hours, and constant watering (whenever soil is dry). Location, Philippines.
The one in the first photo is a sunflower. Other flowers include marigold and chrysanthemum (#2 and #3 photos, they're all gone now). Thank you!

What do you mean by die? Do they go crispy? Soggy? Change colour? What happens to them? Do you have a picture of them dead?, it would help a lot with identifying the problem!
They need more light.
