growing slow?

my plant sprouted about 2 and a half weeks ago from the soil. i look at other growers plants that are as old as mine and they look much bigger with more leaves. is mine growing slow? i am using my garden soil so i dont think it had many nutrients to begin with. im going to start using jacks classic all purpose soon. is it growing slow because the its not getting nutrients or is it a normal size? it is northern skunk seed and im growing outdoors.

The soil looks like it might be alittle dry, i personally like to keep seedlings in a high humidity enviorment thats very moist all the time. Your soil might be to dense so the plants roots may be lacking oxygen, i dont have enough experience to no whether they are large enough for nutrients, but a light mixture could help along with repotting them in better soil.

how often do you water it?

the top is dry but under the soil is pretty moist. i watered it 2 days ago and it started to droop so i haven't watered since. should i keep the top moist at all times with a spray bottle?

i would go with a different medium check into a soil with worm castings, vermaculite and all that good stuff...a good one is fox farms oceans forest soil
