Hey buds, my seedling just turned 2 weeks old and now the second set of true leaves are popping out a bit. I've been doing some research on it and most people have the 4th set of true leaves popping out by their second week..what could I be doing that's slowing growth down to a sludge? Here's a pic

What Kind of soil and lights are you using ? Makes a big difference soil light and heat. by your Pics it may be your light is to far from your babies, looks like they are stretching because your light my be to far for them to grow more Nodes. it may be to late for changing the light, Let them be for now and they should start to fill out. Good Luck and Happy Grow. Welcome to RIU..

Are they sitting in stagnant water in the bottoms of those saucers?

No, I just watered them. The saucers have slightly raised plastic in them so the pot doesn't sit in the drained water.

Here are the lights I'm using

The soil is Kellogg patio plus outdoor mix. I got that before I discovered a nursery nearby, I plan on transplanting them to better soil once they entered vegetative stage.
 
that's a good light, Try some Pro Mix HP or Sunshine #4 is also good for how we grow. I've been using PMHP and recently our store ran out so I tried the SS#4 and It seemed to work good also, But again I think you ran into the same thing I did when I forgot to move my light back after I put my seedling back under it and they did the same thing I see yours doing. stretching like that I just left the light where it was and waited a week longer for the new growth to appear, Good Luck Happy Grow !!
