Stunted Auto growth or am I just worrying too much?

Hello, attached is a picture of my oldest current plant (zkittlez auto from Seedsman) at a week old. Some of the posts and grow journals I've been looking at are leading me to believe my plants aren't growing at the pace they should.

Im growing in coco coir under 2 Vander 2000w led lights, I'm keeping the temperature right around 75 and using a spray bottle to avoid overwatering, only spraying when the top quarter inch of the coco is dry. The lights are maybe 20 inches above the plants.

I'm sure I'm just worrying, but this is my first grow so I'd like to take action as soon as possible to correct mistakes. Thank you!

Could be bigger but it looks good and healthy so it doesn't really matter. How long are your lights on for, and what's your humidity at? Perfect environment and extended light cycle helps with vegetative growth in the early stages for autos. Also if you are in plain coco that's going to cause it to grow a little slower a lot of guys start feeding small doses of nutrients as soon as the first saw blades start growing.
 
Admittedly, I've been neglecting my humidity, but will be putting in a humidifier tonight. My lights are on 24/7 at the moment, and I was planning on switching them to 20/4 during the 2nd week. The pictured zkittlez got a low dose of cal mag, micro and grow 2 days ago, but I'm going slow to avoid nutrient burning

Well if everything is good except your environment then you now know what your problem is. Environment is probably the most important variable when growing.
