Looks like a good size pot, roots could be busy reaching out but I'm sure others with more experience will chime in. Some grow fast, some slow but it looks healthy.

I've learnt patience is key my friend, every strain & environment is different.


Here's20150807_210330.jpg one of mine at 14 days.

What is the pot size and strain? A larger pot size will make a plant from seed initially grow slower due to root tap. You usually want to start seedlings in party cups or a pot equivalent in size.

With strain. Some strains grow really slow. Some grow really fast.

These are some ac/ dc x mr. x. At about 5 days from sprouting.

Yeah I had it in a McDonald's cup and transplanted early because it wasn't doing well in it. (Maybe the styrophoam or some chemical in it) this was my next size up

You transplanted a seedling? If so that will be the problem. Not enough root mass to anchor into the medium for a transplant, youve disrupted the root growth formation. Should sort it self out over the next week or 2

Had stable enough root growth to hold the entire cups worth of dirt together don't think that was the issue.

How big was the cup? If you have that much root mass then your plant should be bigger than it is. leave it and If it isnt showing signs of growth over the next few weeks maybe think about starting over. Maybe purchase a light airy soil mix some perlite etc for next time. But fingers crossed u should be ok

Yeah I've Been seeing pretty steady growth, just not as fast I see others that post on here. Thanks though I'm hoping it will work out.

Some people only count veg after the seedling stage so it may have been potted for a month but the picture may state 2 week veg. Also the pictures could be cannabis cuttings they grow faster than seed. From seed 2 weeks, yours looks about right the plant should start to pull out of the coytledon anytime now, but if u repotted over the last few days give it a little extra time to settle into its new home and let the soil dry out before a light watering. Hope all goes well bud!

That makes more sense. Does veg start when seed leaves fall off? I've heard that before. And thanks man I'm crossing my fingers every step.

I would say veg starts at about 3 or 4th node. Iv had seed leaves stay on my plants for ages before

Yeah, since you transplanted it early. That would have slowed the growth a bit. It is growing roots right now then the plants will start to grow. Have fun while you are at it.

Some plants are slower in the first two weeks as their setting up roots to get ready for an explosion of growth. give it 24 days before you make the call to call it a dwarf or not
