You don't always hear what you wanna hear.
#1 with RIU and growing is patience.
There is a terrible amount that plays into what a plant should look like at any point in its life. Soil, hydro, type an amount of light. More light faster/more growth. Seed, clone, when schedule started seed in soil or first sprout.
I thinks it's unfair for any experienced grower to compare theirs to yours (lol.)
I grew in a homemade organic soil and gave virtually no nutes whatsoever. Listen to your plant.
Be prepared to make mistakes and loses.
Just keep growing an gain experience. To worry so early in a plants life shows a desire to grow but impatiences as well.
Get more seeds/clones if these are your only seeds so you can afford to take loses.
Don't grow too small of scale and expect lots. Your finish date seems plausible but I'd be more concerned with learning.

keep with 1/4 strength and slowly increase. your plants are small bc they are hungry. they sell something called promix at lowes. that, imo would be a good medium for u to use. its a peat based medium with perlite already in it. no fertzs, and lime to keep ph stable. it requires u to feed it. growers have been usingit for years. its ur best option if 'canna' companies soil arent available

when u r in a medium with NO nutrients in it, or close to nill as astarting mix, they need food almost immediately. contrary to what is said on these forums, seeds have enough energy to break soil and start single blade leaves, and thats about it. if your in an ammended soil mix then they have food for the first couple weeks. many people that say it can go three weeks without feed are growing.in soil w nutrients available for uptake

you need to solve your watering issues before you worry about nutes ...... not that all the nute talk here isn't right but those plants are sitting in a pot of mud...... plants don't grow in mud......

if youre watering it that heavy every four or five days that's your first problem...... this isn't up for debate..... I wouldn't plan on watering it for a couple weeks..... that fukn pot of mud isn't drying out in 5 days, anything you do before that pot dries out is gonna make it worse....... don't listen see what happens......lol......

not watering for a couple weeks? ive never grown n e thing that didnt need water for weeks.
wet dry cycles with promix/peat based medium. feed water feed. water till a little comes out the bottom, water again when the first inch or two of topsoil is dry

its not an ammended soil he is using...its a starting mix. ive grown in peat based mediums for a long time before i switched.to coco. its really halfway between soil/hydro. it needs food at least once a week

wet dry cycles, feed, water, feed.

preferably using something close to 10-5-5 for veg and 5-5-10 for flower. (if u have to use something from the hardware.store) otherwise any grow/bloom combo will work.

ph between 6-6.5.

do u check the ph of ur water/feed? that is pretty important using a peat based medium. it acts differently from reg soil and preferrs being watered withing a ph range of 6-7

and like others said patients is crucial. wet dry cycles. if your plant isnt.wilting its not.too dry, and if it does wilt its not.a big.deal. so dont be scared.to not water.for an extra day to see how long.you should be waiting inbetween waterings

youll get the hang of it. none of this advice is written in stone, but wet dry cycles and feed water feed is a good place to start with peat based mediums. i bet in a few months you'll look back and laugh at all these problems.
