Growing problems

I hope someone can help me!! I germinated seeds and instead of planting them in Solo Cups, I planted them in 7" planters as their first container. 2 of them seem to be growing ok, but one of them has discoloration on a leaf. What I'm wondering is if I should transplant them into Solo cups so that they can get more bulk, or just leave them where they are. I have no seeds left to germinate so I really need at least a couple of these ones to grow. Any suggestions would be really helpful!!!!!! The 2 Purple Kush are growing good for now, but the Dark Angel is the one I'm having current trouble with.18056765_210716212762161_1407301320371163738_n.jpg 18057977_210716229428826_4070633334432299388_n.jpg 18119143_210716249428824_5354832741481413931_n.jpg 18119514_210716289428820_2401912347894073206_n.jpg

Don't worry about the solo cups.
You should repot them tho , even if you use the same containers . Repot them and bury them right to the bottom of the leaves . Those babys are stretchy and will fall over soon .

try finer soil mix and not so wet add some vermiculite to your soil it will break it up a bit .help with drainage. and I would bury them to but only to about half inch under the leaves. when they are that young they will concentrate on root growth. don't over water . they will come right . there tougher than you think

Thanks. Yes, I have replanted them into cups, nearly all the way to the leaves. I have drainage holes. New, dry(er) soil. Today will be day 3 in their new home and so far they all still seem ok. The one that had the discoloration is still the same, but hasn't gotten any worse.

2 things. they were over watered, and not enough light. when plants get stretchy its for one reason only. they are looking for light that isn't there.
lower your light. planting deeper is a good idea but burring the stem more than 1/2 inch is dangerous. the soil stays moist much longer under that top half inch. maby not the first time maby not the 30th, but eventually one will mold or rot under the surface and dampen off.

you mean perlite. vermiculite retains moisture, perlite adds drainage

tip when using larger containers for seedlings water around the edges not in the center. the middle will stay drier and the roots will expand toward the outside ware the water is. using airpots or smart pots helps.
