Hi! It's 100% most definitely what the other fellas are saying about the light..!
Autoflowers, I think, need a light! I wouldn't plant it without one until mid-July! D:
Make sure it is in the most direct sunlight you can find, and when it stretches out a bit - as it will over the next few weeks - you will have probably plenty of internodal space and long stems to LST and HST (supercrop).
No extra water or feed/nutrients will help as it doesn't need them since it isn't really sucking up food right now - the main food it needs is light..! ( o 8 o)
MarsHydro have a sale on atm - I use their lights, they are great - you can get a TS-600 (100w) for about 100 monies - I also use a TS-1000 in addition for flowering.
The autos love the TS-600 - they have done really well under it, and they love the TS-1000 even more.
I hope that you see some good growth in the coming weeks!
If you'd like to compare between lights/no lights - have a look at this:
growdiaries.com/diaries/139953-grow-journal-by-teh-saccade
You can see the one in the pot, that is under lights - it is ornamental.
The others are in the sun only, which is not strong atm, and you can see the big difference in development!
One bushy and short, the others leafy and stems.
Same strains.
I hope you decide to commit to saving up for a light, as it will really help you if you are growing regularly..!
It's a necessity - don't worry about the tent, you can put it anywhere so long as you don't mind 20 hours of bright light every day (it's so niiiceee!!!)
Fingers crossed for you, my dude! :D

@dunneboom, First grow! Exciting!!! As for advice, I find it helpful to look at diaries growing the same strain as I am to better be able to gauge my progress. I also highly recommend https://www.growweedeasy.com as it has tons of useful information. You can also ask questions right here on Growdiaries if you have any specific problems.
