whats your lighting? sun? You may need longer light time. But some babies are just slow.

Should start your seedlings in smaller pots. Takes less time for them to dry out between watering which is critical for the roots to breathe this small. You may not over water them, but with that much soil holding water could be drowning them a bit and slowing them down.

ok thanks for all input. the reason for the big pots is because i researched autos and more often than not it said start in final pot to reduce stress. I think they are to moist, scotlands weather sucks but atm we are getting good clear day excluding today lol.
again thanks to all for your input

you can always add a little supplemental lighting if your afraid of the weather. all it takes is a waterproof extension cord and some plug in light sockets. about 10$ + lights. cfls @ 6700k. get a Y socket so you can put 2 bulbs to one plug. i dont know your bulb prices but usually around 10-15 a piece (canadian dollars)
