Do you think they are big enough to repot in a larger pot in some Ocean Forest? Right now they are just in some Miracle-Gro soil because I didn't want to burn them up. They are 2 1/2 weeks old.
Time to repot?

Small plants for 2 and a half weeks. Do they have roots showing out the bottom of the cups?

I usually transplant out of 500ml pots around 14 days. They are looking a bit stunted for 2.5 weeks though. Whats your light/environment like?
These were 18 days old for reference

I wouldn't, those look small.

I'm a newbie to indoor growing. I just put them in the tent on Sunday. Before that I had them in a closet on a heat mat with a small light. I'm not sure about the light specs. The hubs bought me the 2 x4 AC Infinity tent with everything to go with it. I've had 2 successful outdoor grows, but indoor is a whole new ballgame

That's a wee bit "stunty" for 2.5 weeks, but nothing horrible. I say wait at least 1, maybe 2 more weeks. The whole point of benefiting from transplant, is to let a decent rootball establish; your plants as they sit, if you pulled up the medium it would probably just all fall apart. You want more root mass, it's the whole point.

What is the make and model of the light?

200W full-spectrum grow light with Samsung LM301B LEDs.

That will be superb for a 2x4. Are the seedlings under it now?

Yes. I just moved them in there this past Sunday. I could tell a huge difference in them just after a day of putting them in there. I have it lowered to about 12-14 inches above them on a level 3. Any guidance would be appreciated.

In past grows when they first sprouted, they would get a bit leggy, so I would fill them up with dirt when that happened. I can go ahead and fill them up if that would be best for them.

What % is the 200 watt light set to now, and what is the distance to the seedlings? It's easy to give seedlings too much light when you're new to LEDs. I'd start at like 40% and keep the light up near the top of the tent for a few days to let them adjust, since they weren't getting much light. Then gradually increase the light they receive, by shortening the distance first, then later increasing the %. Look into DLI, PPFD/PAR, and VPD when you have time if you want to delve deeper into lighting and environment.

I purchased an AC Infinity Grow tent with everything included.

It is set on level 3 and about 14 inches or so from plants. I will look into lighting further.

Also, I didn't put the seedlings in the grow tent until this past Sunday.

It has been in the tent for 3 days. What was the light source before that?
