Your pot is way too big it's gonna cause the roots to have to stretch way too far to get at the nutes and they are gonna stay fairly shallow. You should start in something like a party cup until like week 4ish.

21 day old plant in cup.

i think that you water them too much, check to see if top layer is dry before you water.

yeah I think you make a good point about that party cup thing.. soo, honestly should i just re-start? or is there anyway to transplant them to a smaller pot??

eh dont restart now, just more nutrients in the water perhaps, and more light, give it time. atleast ya dont have to replant them in a few days lol

haha alright man, hopefully theyll be okay...cuz damn! theyre behind!

buy a 3 way ph, moisture, ppm meter it will save you alot of time. keep the ph between 6.5 and 7.0 anything out of this range will slow down nute absorbtion and may cause lockout or stunted growth. keep the ppm below 100 for seedlings.
