yeah i think you're right, i was seeing plants with large sets of leaves in solo cups thinking thats how large im meant to let them get bfor transplanting. After transplanting a couple I noticed the roots were soaked even though its been 2 days since watering so i think i may of been overwatering a bit too which could have caused slow growth.

Over watering as common problem. Adding perlite to soil mix helps.
Moisture meter's are fantastic and cheap as at hardware stores like Bunnings. (around $15-$20)

Be a bit careful on timelines. Some pics of 1 month old plants are from clones. Seeds take forever to get started.
People think somethings wrong and its just the difference between a clone and a seed.

I also recon some people lie or exaggerate on veg and flower times and dry weights.

Yep I've really only been vegging for 2 weeks outside then flipping the sun for my benefit only and yielding 2 oz per branch

That's wet oz so obviously it's gonna be 6 oz when dry ok

Even though many of the others are smaller and their roots havent even grown around the bottom of their pots? these ones popped up 22 days ago, are they normal size or a bit stunted? cheers for the reply.

Overwatering in small solos or pots is the number one killer of seedlings..ive done it and its easy to do for that reason I always have a bit of perlite in my seeking soil mix
You have holes in those solo cups surely ?

cheers for the help, it's good to hear from people who know what they're on about. Just put them in bigger pots and watered in with a weak seasol and gogo juice solution. Ill be putting them into 150L planter bags to grow them out once they outgrow these.
