using small doses of 5-1-1 fish ferts once a week

hmm i was noticing the same thing on my plant i have now, the single blade leafs like your started to turn yellow which told me i needed to feed her..i think you need to give her some higher nutes with a little bit nitrogen the one your using is not enough from what it looks like, or cut back on giving her nutes.. im currently using "sea grow 16-16-16" and Weeed plants love this shit ever since i got this my leafs never turned yellow again after i feed her i ripped off the single bladed leafs and looked at the other leafs for other signs of yellowing which i didnt happen.. hope this helped!
 
Not trying to be a dick bro, but your plants look pretty sad for 2 weeks. Mine are at 6 days and are just about as far along as yours. I don't nute until the catlydones fall off so I can't really help you with that, but they seem healthy besides the slight drooping and yellowing. How often do you water?

Sorry, OP, but I have to agree with this guy.
My seedlings look that size at 3-4 days.
IMO, you should quit feeding and just give water when they are thirsty for at least another week and half.

It sounds like you have plenty in the soil for them.

Damn man, 3-4 days? What kind of lights and soil are you using?
I just posted these last night, the Sour D is 4 days from sprout, and the Purple Kush is almost 3 days to the hour from sprout.
Using MG Moisture control with about 35% MG perlite to germ in 78-85 degree under CFL's to germ.

In fact, I almost took more pics a couple hours ago when I noticed the Sour D is now hanging just a tad over the rim of the cup.

like i said just water for bout 3-4 weeks then start to feed also less is more is my motto then work your way up as you go along. and growing weed is not as easy as it looks or sounds its all bout trial and error and learning along the way, im growing from seed as we speak my girl is my current profile pic shes 2 months and 2 weeks from seed i just did a finally transplant in a 5gal pot :D..

hope your babys thrive!

My super silver haze is at the exact same spot your sour d is. My SSH is 6 days now, but she germ'd slow too. How many cfl's do you use per plant during the first week or two? I use 1
CFL per plant for the first 2 weeks.

I have 1 13w 5000k above each of them in clamp lights, with a pair of the 5000k's inbetween, and a couple 23w 2700k on the outside.
I'll put up some pics tonight in my thread probably.
It's been 2 days since those pics, but the SD is already just about the diameter of the cup.:mrgreen:

You're doing everything wrong. They're both stunted. That soil is way too heavy which means the roots aren't getting enough oxygen, and poor drainage. You're probably watering the whole pot. Seedlings have food in their cots already so you don't feed them jack shit.

Their leaves are on the dark side which means you are overfeeding quite a bit.

All i can suggest to you is to stop feeding and wait for them to start growing again, .
Then you will need to get them out of that soil and into a nice light/fine potting mix.

God knows how a transplant is going to work out. I've had to transplant 3 two day old seedlings before
due to a bad medium (peat pellet, fuckin hate them) and mine worked out fine because i picked
away at the peat with a needle.

that MG will bite you in the ass later. i promise u that
 
That is completely over watering and too much light and room humidity lvl is most likely below 40% which stunts the plants, if you want to water more turn the humidity to around 55-65% for maximum gas exchange, back off the nutes and at this time of year there is most likely enough in your tap water for seedlings, also watch your ph of your water, these all have great and dramatic effects on plants especially young ones...and also if you use city water DE-Chlorinate!!!!
 
That coloring is NOT nutrient deficient, but pure signs of too much water, aerate the soil back off the water and get a DEhumidifier promotes faster gas exchange...

have you ever successfully grown a plant? dont blame mg because you didnt succeed.
Yep, if you stay on top of your pot size so you're not watering so often, and only use the soil for mature vegging plants (not seedlings)
you can easily grow a healthy plant with MG.

It's an ok potting mix if that's all that's available, but there is a lot better out there.

Second one looks decent, first looks small for 21 days. I dont like miracle grow, and switched to black gold<then fox farms ocean grow.

I got a little burn at first being over aggressive with fertilizer. A nubie :)
