14 days, too small?

Hi all,

Started 2 cherry pie autos, today is day 14 and they are looking like this. Too small? Any help appreciated.

Theyre overwatered, bro. Dont water again until the pots feel very light.

Agree they look over watered which leads to slow growth.
This is a pic of 2 week old seedlings for a comparison.

Oh no so I messed up from the beginning? They are autos so i wasted valuable time before flowering or will they adjust?

Make sure your cups have drainage. Many of us plant their autos in their final pot, though it’s not a necessity.

I didn't know i thought planting in small pots will hold me from over watering.. but no

You had the right idea. But next time, 2-3 days before you plant the seeds, fill your pots, water them and they will dry out a bit. Then you can plant the seed without having a soaking wet medium.
