Is it too soon for LST? And is this a mutation? HELP

So, I started 4 OG Kush autoflower seeds. 2 of them sprouted, 2 did not. I planted the seeds directly into 5 gallon airpots with dome on top. I used FFOF and mixed in a bag of perlite. First pop was February 14, and second pop was February 16. Today they are 2 weeks old. I wanted to show a couple pictures of the 2 plants that I have. The second plant is super small and also deformed/ mutant. Please let me know if this was something I did or not . I am allowing it to grow( why not). I noticed that is has actually grown some at the end of this week, excited to see what happens with the little one. I think, the first plant is looking really good for day 14, but I'm not 100 percent sure because this is my first time ever growing cannabis. I do enjoy growing other things from seed.
I really am curious if I should start some LST training on the larger plant, or do I wait a little longer??
Only been giving these guy's ph'd water. Was maybe going give some cal mag and start with some FF grow big in another week.
Any advice is greatly appreciated PXL_20210228_172412864.jpgPXL_20210228_172417937.jpgPXL_20210228_172421537.jpgPXL_20210228_172412864.jpgPXL_20210228_172412864.jpgPXL_20210228_172417937.jpgPXL_20210228_172421537.jpgPXL_20210228_172425400.jpgPXL_20210228_172429035.jpgPXL_20210228_172450786.jpgPXL_20210228_172502439.jpg

For me, it's too early to LST. Id add a couple more inches to really get some lower nodes started.
Seeds can grow mutants, it just happens. Yours is a good color, let it grow. You'll see normal growth soon and it'll be a week or two behind the other at finish.

You won't need any nutes in that soil for like 4-5 weeks but I have read of many people adding some 25% strength grow big from the start. I waited four weeks and am growing in FFHF & 1gal fabric pots.

As far as the runt, smokinrav is correct, shit just happens. Worth growing to see what happens, you have the room and a more than capable light, it could certainly turn it self around if you care for it properly.

My situation is somewhat similar. I germinated two seeds, and after 24hours in the water then 24hours in a napkin, one taproot was half an inch long and the other barely just even split open. Tossed them in the dirt and they both popped within 8hours of each other. The one that never showed a taproot was a runt and maybe only half the size as the other, but after 3 weeks it is got bigger than the other one.

Could start LST around 5-6 nodes. I myself like them to be a little taller like around 10in or so...if they are too short, they will just reorientate themselves and cover their own lower leaves again.

Okay thanks for the advice, the runt is definitely growing! I planted my last 6 seeds in Friday in a jiffy seed starter I have 4 popped this am. I have a second set up now for them. Going big for a first timer loll! Keep in touch, I'm gonna need some help!1614606862290835105388728031611.jpg16146069171625589999916562885256.jpg16146069357563259784812774934138.jpg16146069946617245276848472945251.jpg16146070412412161010114639396529.jpg1614606862290835105388728031611.jpg16146069171625589999916562885256.jpg16146069357563259784812774934138.jpg16146069946617245276848472945251.jpg16146070412412161010114639396529.jpg

You are doubling up on your pics in the same post. Can't really see what's going on in that bottom pic, it is very dark and purple but it does look on that heating mat, like you have a seedling laying over on its side. You may need to lower the light.

I'm not sure why I'm getting double pics . These seeds just sprouted sometime last night. Have been in the corner indirect light. I just moved them out of the corner in front of the closet. The pics suck should have turned the light off. I was wondering if I just didn't plant them deep enough! ?

Barely under the surface to about half an inch deep is fine...loosely covered, moist and warm is a great way to start...

they will spend all their energy searching for light and stretching instead of building roots.

See what your manufacturer recommends for your particular light distance from seedling and start there.

Is it okay to put under lights now? I had them outside the tent indirect light sprouted in 48 hours, 4 out of 6

Yes, they can use light immediately upon popping up. It just needs to be at the right distance. Can search for that info online, start with who makes your light and see what they recommend.
