Hi everyone these are 13 days old and one of them looks small but still healthy, can anyone tell me why it's smaller haven't used any Nutes yet, didn't use root stimulater, but a quite expensive soil don't know the name of the top of my head, they are under a 100w prakasa led light, I have got plant magic plus oldtimers grow, also plant magic old timers bloom, I'm not sure if I have over watered the plants, that's why it has slowed the growth? Need some advise !

The one of the left doesn't look too bad for day 13, but yeah, it's due a growth spurt!

The soil may have been saturated / overwatered. The soil is too cold. Have a look into those 2 possibilities. Also make sure you haven't got a fan blowing directly at them at this stage. You can easily give seedlings wind burn, which severely affects growth too.

I've used prakasa led, still do, I don't think it's the led at all.

Hope that helps!

Thanks mate
I think I over watered it , when I planted the seeds the smaller one took 2 days to reach for the light, and the other was a lot faster !
But the smaller one has all the same leafs as the other one just a mini version haha,
When would be a good time to introduce my grow nutes I thought maybe between the 2nd and third but because there growing slower would it better to give them more time ?
Thanks a lot!

Just let them dry out, then feed them water again. Google your soil and find out how much food it has in. Usually a light mix is 2-3 weeks in before I start to feed. A stronger soil mix would be like 4-5 weeks, maybe even 6. A safe bet is to let them grow with just water, then when leaves start to fade even slightly, start grow nutes. They should be approaching 1ft tall before then. If you let the dry out and make sure the temps are good, you will see good growth. Don't saturate them! Overwatering can cause lockout. If they ever feel too heavy, tip them up at an angle for a few hours and let them drain. Double checking there is no excess water in base of the pot.

pots that size wont need much water unless its overly hot let them dry so the roofs go looking for water the bigger the root system the bigger the groeth above soil, whats the green stuff ontop of the soil?

I don't know what the green stuff is I think it's just how i took the picture because the soil is wet and maybe a reflection of the plants, I'm just going to let them dry out now.
Thanks!

Thirteen days is still when the plant is establishing its root system. It is good to let the top of your soil dry out a bit so the plant sends roots out looking for water. Autoflowers dont like to be transplanted so you want to do it eary so the plant can recover but let them establish their roots first. I also agree with Fevs and think you are feeding them too early and you should dilute the nutes alot, they should bounce back and recover quickly.
