Wow... so the one seedling that the cotelydons were closed on. Has opened up finally after days. It has some really odd leaf formation looks to me . The 2 cotelydons have 2 tiny cotelydons coming off the side of each, and the first 2 true leaves are coming off the side. Still going strong but this seems bizarre . Is this okay?
Newbie HELP. Seedlings leaves aren’t growing .

Probably fine. I've recently had a very oddball looking seedling grow up to be a very nice, full-fledged plant. At first it was very deformed looking. Sometimes they're just 'unique'. As long as it keeps growing, looks nice and green, doesn't wilt or damp off or anything, I wouldn't worry about it too much, just yet.
perfect thank you! First time , and I’m just fully diving into it. It’s a stressful process worrying about them . Hahah , but these replies have all helped so much! Thank you

It'll get easier, fast. Even your second grow-through will be immeasurably more natural feeling. My first go-through, I was checking on the seedlings every hour or so... always worried I'd walk in and they would all be dead. Thankfully, that never happened lol
I hope they do, in fact, grow up big and strong for you! Keep us updated.
Wrap something around the cup like dark paper or duct tape

Great to hear! Mine are usually ready to up-pot in a week and a half to two weeks, but I go from seedling pot to 1 gallon pot to 5 gallon pot. Just be careful of over watering if you move a small plant into a large pot. They’re easier to over water when in an oversized pot. That said, 3 gallons won’t take long to not be too big.
So we are transplanting to a 3 gallon final pot cause we want them to stay smaller . But that Is still okay to skip a pot size in between? I just have to make sure to not overeager correct ?Great to hear! Mine are usually ready to up-pot in a week and a half to two weeks, but I go from seedling pot to 1 gallon pot to 5 gallon pot.

Yeah; some people plant their seeds straight into a 5 gallon pot. You just have to be mindful of watering. Little plants in a big pot are easy to over/under water, but if you pay attention to the plant & the soil more than a schedule, you should be fine.
Another questions for y’all experts. So I have mine in a grow tent and I bought an exhaust fan that also works as Intake. I see a lot of different ways to set it up. But I have mine in my office and I want to set it up to where is has clean fresh air filtering through. It’s a 4 in incline fan. Do I put it up top? And do I have the arrow pointing in the tent or outside ?

put a colored cup over those cups and you can monitor the root growth?
