i'm an idiot. newb grow..

so i have been growing my new plants for about two weeks now. they are only one and half inches tall(i have 3 plants). i was wondering why they have been so small because comparing my pics to other peoples pics i know that my plants should be a lot bigger at two weeks. well i started the plants off in jiffy cups and didnt even think about cutting a hole in the bottom so the roots could get through. so today i rip the jiffy pots all the way to the bottom of the root system and duhhhh.. they roots were trying to get through but couldnt and thats y they r so fuckin small!!!!! ahhhh god i piss myself off. but anyways im still optimistic about my grow. i transplanted my 3 babies into a big ass pot 12 inch pot to be exact. but my the two leaves on all 3 plants r turnign yellow i guess from the roots trying to penatrate through the jiffy pots? i dk someone give me advice on what i should do.. thanks

they look ok to me...if ya want feed very very diluted fert like a alaskan fish 5-1-1...its funny cuz last time i germed i was on a smokin binge and left them sprout in paper towels for too long and when i went to plant them they were like 4 inches long growin feeder roots and poppin the shells...ne ways jus goes to show ya how important roots are...would maybe let root for an extra day(so the root is a lil longer b4 transplant....should help alot as this will help the plant process the light into energy better...........im outtie

too late for that i already transplanted all 3 of them into one big pot hopefully they will recover and not die.. this is my first cfl grow and im trying to do everything to make everything right.

Dude your plants are small cuz you suffocated your roots with no drainage holes. You most likely have an overwatering problem. What are you using for lighting?

i am using 6 26 watt daylight cfl.. yeah i figured i suffocated the roots. i just transplanted all 3 plants in the same pott(is this ok for now) so the roots can have more growing room lol. but yeah give me more advice i need it

Just sit tight.. like someone else said. You need at least 3-4 days, preferably a week to evaluate a transplant.

NO NUTES... those plants are easily 2 weeks away from needing anything, esp. since they just went into fresh soil.

I would advise you to get each plant in their own pot. The pot that you will want to keep them in for the remainder of their life. Avoid transplanting. You don't wana get all their roots tangled either. & after that just avoid watering too much. Let the dirt go dry. The roots breath during the drying process of the dirt since air will leak into the soil so don't water untill you know the soil is dry. That will let your roots get some air.
