Should I transplant these early?

These girls are almost two weeks old from planting. They are in Jiffy pellets in coco medium. I made a lighting mistake early and they stretched. They’ve been growing slower than expected but they are growing. There were a couple roots growing out the bottoms of the cups but I air pruned them. The second set of leaves are growing slowly and I can see the third set appearing but I can’t imagine they’ll be growing larger any time soon.

This morning I misted both plants and they both toppled over - I propped them up with skewers. With them starting to become top heavy but not close to three full sets of leaves, should I go ahead and transplant them to 1-gal pots or leave them be for now?

I'd leave them and feed them...do just as you have with the skewers and get your light as close as you can without causing them issues. Coco kids don't need giant pots...they just need giant feeds and you'll be able to accomplish this by using smaller pots through out your grow. Good luck friend.

If I have a stretched stem I bury about 1/2 to 2/3 of the stem in the dirt when I repot. Move the light a little closer and they stand up loud and proud.

Thanks, I will leave them alone and drop the light a bit more.

Got it and will do, thank you.
