Just a question

Hey there,
So im on my first indoor grow using 2 CFL 1200 lumen white bulbs (getting 4 more tomorrow), i planted from seed on October 1st and is now October 14th. But I'm getting concerned about the size of my seedling, i keep seeing 10-15 day old
seedlings that are twice the size and already have big bushy leaves on the internet. So if someone could take a look at the image that I've provided and possibly tell me if this is normal size and what i could do better. From what ive been told the seeds were northern lights if this is of any use.

Cheers!

P.S, the packet of cigarettes in the image is to give an idea of size, they are 25 Marlboro.

Looks like u planted directly into a large pot instead of starting in a smaller pot then transplanting, when you do this it takes more time for the plant to grow its root mass. Once the plant feels it has comfortably developed a root system it will start growing upwards and outwards and once it starts doing this it will grow exponentially. Some pictures your seeing on the net may be 2 weeks from clone or 2 weeks from when sprouted not 2 weeks from when planted (germination and such does take a couple days).
Don't worry, no one ever thinks their's is big enough but it s usually just fine:bigjoint:

My general rule for transplanting is I wait until I see roots out of the drain holes and the plant uses up all the water I give it in 1 or 2 days.
