3 weeks into veg, How am i doing

[mattyblade1]

Hi all,

This is the first time i've grown from seed in over 10 years and are a little worried that they are taking to long to get out of the seedling stage...

They are all 3 weeks old tomorrow. The strains are 2 lowryder and 1 Swiss Cheese... The Cheese is the small lighter one.

Is this where they should be at just under 3 weeks ?

Any help or ideas would be appriciated.

Thanks

I thought over watering was not a problem with Hydro. How do you over water using Hydro???

 

[Realistg]

how big should they be for 3 weeks?

 

[mattyblade1]

I've held back on the watering now for 3 days and watered late yesterday... You can see a massive differance already. I'm going to water every 3 - 4 days now.. My temaps are high also in the mid 80's at it's highest that might stop growth also but i grow in the attic so i have to ride with it.
They are only a little small for 3 weeks. I saw a thread yeaterday and there wasn't to much differance.
