everything's growing right, it is getting enough light and everything. it's just A LOT smaller than any of my other grows any reasons? it's about 2 weeks and 3 days old. the rocks on top are merely to stop weeds from sprouting as I'm using peat moss and horse manure from my farm.

Specs on grow?
2x 48watt 24inch Aqualight t5 dual lamps
1 20watt soft white florescent t12
both on 24hours a day

plant is about 2 inches from these lights and the space maintains 76 degrees

I water about every 4 days when about a half inch into the soil is still dry, I don't water until there is runoff

I bend the main stem and the branches almost everyday and also mist 2x a day to keep the leaves looking fresh

other than that I don't really have any other information on what is going on

TOO MUCH LIGHT/
Any type of stress on your cannabis plants, including many hours of exposure to direct sunlight without rest, can also halt or slow down growth. If you grow indoors and suspect light exposure to be the source of stress, decrease the intensity or move lamps further away from the canopy if possible. Know that seedlings are particularly sensitive to intense light.

NOT ENOUGH LIGHT/
Although requirements can vary from strain to strain, light is nonetheless a critical factor for the development of all cannabis plants. A lack of “good” light can absolutely lead to slowed growth. If you grow indoors and suspect that your plants aren’t getting enough light, try to decrease the distancebetween your lamps and the tops of plants.

Another possibility is that you're stressing the plant by constantly bending. Seedlings are very sensitive to stress which will result in slowed/stunted growth.

PH maybe.

Genetics will also play a MAJOR role in its growth. What strain?

probably too much light because I was keeping the lights very close to keep a tight canopy, this is random bagseed but I do have some death star seeds I wanna start

There's nothing wrong with your setup. Lights are better close. I keep my T5s around 2-3" above the leaves.

How aged is that manure? Looks a little hot. The cotyledons are yellowing.
it's about 3 years old well composted, I heard that the Cody's are supposed to yellow and die off after about 2 weeks when veg is starting

In fertilized soil, mine stay green for weeks, I usually trim them off. So, I wouldn't put much stock into that.

It was probably too hot for it to start out, some plants are finicky. It'll pick back up, just give it some time and don't feed it til it starts to get pale.

Also, water to runoff every third or so watering. There's not any salts to worry about, but those fine particles build up and it helps to wash them out every once in a while.

Plant looks good, grow on.

Not sure as to why this set of leaves is growing how it is (one side is one bladed, other is 2 bladed) also my bottom leaves are whitening

Looks like you've been a little heavy on the water.

As far as the yellowing, looks like it's getting hungry. If you've been watering a lot, you'll wash all the nutrition out.

Look at your pics. Dark green in the first, light in the second. Also, look at the cotyledons and then your yellowing leaf in the new pic. Burn vs hungry.

I ended up transplanting into a bigger pot yesterday after your reply, made sure not to damage any roots or anything and she stayed fine all day until i went to sleep. Idk what happened or if it will recover' should i just start over?

Also the roots seem VERY highly underdeveloped which could have something to do with the plant being so small

How is your watering?

Personally, I think you're medium mix is a little rough to grow in. It's a good start, but you need additional amendments.

I watered a little bit when i transplanted but not too much because the it was mostly dry, and it was the same stuff i grew the plants in my profile picture with

Did you start the last batch of plants in it? Peat and manure makes for a little low of ph in my opinion. I have a mule that I love using the manure from, but it drops the ph a fair bit in my tea, and peat lowers ph.

Just doesn't look like much aeration in the mix either. Looks dense.

So, if it's overwatered and there's no aeration, the roots can't breathe.

yea that’s a major overkill on light for such a small seedling. You got 2 of the 2 foot t5s over it and a 20 watt cfl. Wow man. Just the single 20:watt cfl is sufficient for first couple weeks kept at a few inches away. No need for all the t5 action. With the amount of light you described, I couldAlso, it looks pretty dark green. You feeding it already?

No, no feeding. I backed the t5 up to about a foot away and got rid of the cfl and about and hour later it was completely shriveled up so i started my deathstar seed and im starting over.

Get some aeration in your mix and check your medium ph.
