What kind of trees are you trying to grow?
the light needs to be closer stronger. Are you using a full spectrum light bulb daylight the package should say, or grow bulb That’s made for plants? If you are using a tube light fluorescent one cool color bulb and one warm colored bulb will equal the daylight spectrum. Then get the light about 4 inches or so above the plants, and adjust as the plants grow. i also set a fan on low and let the wind hit them. It makes the stems stronger. When the weather warms a bit they will need to adjust to the outside. Google your average last frost for zip code ..........fill the zip in. That’s when to boot them out To the garden.

spot is called a bed?
Yes , it can be done. However, you will need to turn the the plants so they grow strieght. keep them watered.
Rotate your plants by a quarter turn daily if you have them in a window...it will keep them from leaning into the window, if they get to tall, you may need to prune them back.
yes if you have just a few houseplants a window sill will work, however you will need to turn them daily or they will begin to look lop sided.
it may be the starter potting mix....most seedling mixes don't have fertilizer in the mix. some will start the seeds in a peat mix with a bit of top soil...not from your yard, but purchased - and sterile. most areas can start the zinna in the ground after the last frost. do you have the mini zinnia or the larger ones that get 4 ft tall?
