Stuck in Seedling Stage??

Hello Everyone,

I am hoping someone can tell me if I need to patient or start again.

My plants seem to be stuck in the seedlings stage, they don't appear to be growing much. Others around me who started at the same time are ready to transfer thier plants into the ground.

I had originally had them unde a CFL light and found out later it wasn't strong enough. I have since been putting them in the sun all day and bringing them in at night. I have been doing this for about 3 weeks. I have seen very little growth since the change. I am thinking I messed things up from the jump.

Do you folks think I should start again or just be patient?

If I start again I will need to do it ASAP. I'm in southern Ontario and our outdoor grow season is short.

Ps. I haven written the one plant in the bottom right corner off.

Just get some coconut water or use veg food at a very weak strength. Within two weeks they’ll be way bigger. Usually I start feeding when they have the third set of true leaves…. N my girls look great.

They’re very hungry that much is for sure. Give them food and get them in bigger pots.

Pots will help, just by giving them fresh soil. They’re hungry. Feed em. Start very weak , n slowly build up to about 600 ppm n they will explode into big happy girls.

I hate coco… takes twice as much of everything. Pro-mix all the way.

I mean coco, pro mix, or Any of that is the same to me. The only difference is one retains water better. The all require the same amount of input. i prefer good well built soil.

My plan is to plant them outdoors in the garden. Should I move them into the garden or to a bigger pot?

What do you folks mean by food?

I am really new at this. Thanks for everyone's help.

You’re just overwatering, everybody does at first. Let them dry out til the pot is super light then slowly saturate the soil. The roots need air as much as water.

Imo if coco held moisture slightly better on the same level as promix I would give it a full run to see if it’s a useable solution. But, I really can’t complain about promix. And coco costs more as well. So it will cost more to set up and then it requires tighter managing and seeing as it doesn’t hold water it will take more nutes and watering to get the same results. I’m not saying one is better than the other. I’m saying my preference and giving my reasons.
