3 1/2 week Old Plant in distress o.0

hello ive been noticing that my plant isnt growing and its not as big as another plant i planted at the same time using the same water schedule and same soil

the bottom leaves are yellowing and rotting

i water every 2 days or once the soil is pretty dry (ive lost a couple pups to overwatering )

roots are purple/red (been reading online and it says it could be genetics and not to worry but i may be wrong)

its been this size for a week and its worrying me

please helppppp

pic 1 is maybe 1 week old and pic 2 is 3 1/2 weeks

When you first transplant seedlings, you're not going to see much growth until they establish their root systems.

Chill out on the watering too

What type of soil are you using? The yellowing of the older growth makes me believe it's a N deficiency

every how often would you recomend ? should i be adding any nutes (i have some miracle grow all purpose plant food 12-4-8 ) ?

ive been doing as much research but every body has a different method and its confusing the hell out of me

Whats your soil?

i cant remember the name , i went to home depot and bought a organic soil that came in a white bag.

i can get the name if that means anything

See if it is supplemented or just soil. As small as they are, they shouldnt need nutes yet

NO!
No feeding for at least 2 weeks.
Your soil looks pretty wet, and the pot is kinda large for the size of your seedling, which doesn't help either.
If you have another similar pot, fill it with soil, and feel the weight.
Compare it to the one your plant is in, and when the two weigh about the same, it's time to water.

i havent fed. just making sure i wasnt supposed to.

it looks wet cause i misted the top and took the pic like 5 min before i posted it. it drys up pretty fast. which is why i water every 2 days. i have 3 100w equivalent cfl's about 3 inches away on 24 hour light.

well the soil iam using is called lambert 100% organic potting soil.
