(PICS) Look at these new plants, they seem to be starting small

Ok so I dunno if this is how they always come out, or if its just this strain, but I can BARELY see the actual bladed leaves, theres the 2 bigger rounded starter leaves.
My last ones didnt come out of the soil this small , maybe its because I didnt put them deep enough in the soil this time? I put the seed about a half inch down. They germinated real fast, like 24hrs and they had a nice root comin out, and popped outa the soil pretty fast too , only took like 24hrs.
Is this normal? or should those fan leaf/bladed leaf looking ones be alot bigger by now?

They just popped out of the soil about 12 hours ago.

anyone have any comment on them? Like I said, its been less than 24 hours since they popped out of the soil. Is that normal for the bladed fan leaf looking leaves to start off so small? Maybe its because I planted all my other ones a little deeper and these ones not as deep as I usually do?

I've had a few seedlings that were similar. Very tiny leaves. My experience has been that it is a genetic flaw and they typically exhibit slow growth. Everytime I've had one I've ended up pulling it from the group about two weeks in. You can keep growing it to see if it works itself out, but I wouldn't hold high hopes for it.

These 2 are the last of the batch of seeds I got from Nirvana, the other ones were extremely slow, and seemed like they just stopped growing after like 4 or 5 days.. I contacted nirvana and told them none of the seeds germinated lol..so they're sending me 5 more feminized seeds...I think its the strain that is garbage... I asked to get a different strain.. but they wouldnt let me.. they assured me that the seeds coming were a brand new batch from another breeder.
Still the same strain tho , so once I get those, I'll try em.. maybe its just a shitty strain.. If these 2 I have planted now dont grow.. and the other new seeds I get are shitty.. im never buyin from nirvana again.

Strain is called "kaya" , I wanted to try em cuz I havent seen anyone talk about them. Heres the link to em: Kaya (5 seeds) | Marijuana and Cannabis Seeds for Growing your own weed. Straight from the breeder.
lemme know if u ever heard of em

Kaya is a solid strain. It's quite well-known amongst breeders and is the part of the foundation of several quality hybrids. I'm thinking you possibly got a bad batch of seeds because the strain itself is stable. I've never made a purchase from Nirvana, so I can't comment on them from firsthand experience, but what I have heard about them is less-than spectacular. I buy seeds 3-4 times a year from Dr. Chronic and have never been disappointed. My orders always arrive within 7 days, are always complete, and the quality has been excellent. I've heard some negative comments about the Doc, but my own experience with him has been excellent. Also, I always buy strains from top breeders (Sensi Seeds, Greenhouse, Barneys, etc) even though they often cost at least twice as much as the same strains from other lesser-known breeders. As the saying goes, "You get what you pay for". I'm not saying you can't get good results from the cheap guys seeds. But since the seed is the foundation upon which everything else is built, I spare no expense to ensure that I'm starting with the best seeds possible. Next time you're going to buy seeds, check out Dr. Chronic or The Attitude. I think you'll find that both of them have a better selection and superior products. Also, consider some of the strains from Sensi Seeds, Greenhouse, Soma, and Delta9 Labs. Again, you're going to pay more but the quality and consistancy is worth it.

sounds like a good idea. This is my first time buying seeds from nirvana, and may be my last.
