I was thinking the same, they look ok other than small for 3 weeks. If that’s coco which it appears to be it looks very dry, should be at least moist, don’t let it dry. I assume there’s holes in the solos since they are dry. They need a little feed at this point as well, mix up some nutes about 1/4 strength and feed them.

Was gonna say the same. I’m not a coco guy, but one thing I do know is that shit can’t ever dry out or you’re in trouble. A little shot of something couldn’t hurt if they are at three weeks. That being said, they do look pretty small for three weeks. GL!

No they are in starter soil that already had fertilizer in it. Holes are in the bottom of the cups. I did add 1/4 dose of liquid fertilizer after they started looking bad. I also started using hydroguard. This worked on my first grow I'm in the middle of with blue cheese.

You added ferts to already hot soil? Also what makes you think they look bad? Try adding water near the edge of the solo cup and foliage feed water only for about a week.

Obviously there is a problem with your grow media.........they look undernourished and only 2 days old instead of 3 weeks.
The soil looks dense with little oxygen for the roots.

Yes after already trying to water the cup edges without fertilizer like you just said. Aside from them being small they are a very yellowish color. The blue cheese.I started never looked like this.

That's what I thought. They didn't seem to be draining as well as the blue cheese.I started 6 weeks ago. I didn't like the idea of transplanting seedlings but just transplanted them into coco coir.
