Are you feeding? What do you PH your water at? I feed seedlings nothing for 2 to 3 weeks, but my water is PHed @ 6.3 going in. I'll see if I can find a pic of one of mine at 2 or 3 weeks.

Ph is 6.5 and the organic soil has 3 months slow release nutrients in it .
My one looks nothing compared to your ones at 16 days lol

That's because I have no nutrients in my seedling soil. The cotyledons (little round leaves) will feed it for 2 to 3 weeks. It's being over fed.
If it was me, I would go to the nearest Home Depot and get some Jiffy seed starter organic mix and re plant them. Wait till the soil is really dry and it will come apart and fall off the roots. I use nitrile gloves to do this. Peace and good luck

I would revisit your pH...and find some other soil that doesn't contain all that bark and such. I don't think it's a feed issue either way. Also, exercise some patience; they're babies. Good luck.

Is that enough light?

His PH is fine @ 6.5, I prefer 6.3 to let it rise through the levels so they get maximum intake of nutrients.

I do agree with the soil/bark.

I don't agree with it not being a feeding issue. It is being over fed, I've seen it too many times, and have made the mistake myself. Nutrients in the soil are not good for babies, hence over fed. Like giving a newborn some meat and taters, don't work well.

For a baby it's fine. When it's bigger it will need more for penetration to the lower parts.

You're soil isn't good for seedlings . It may come out of it or die. I mix peat perilite and ag lime for my seedlings but you can buy it already made in a bag. Next time use some kind of seed starter potting mix to start.

Looking much better, looks like it'll grow out of it just fine. My first grow my seedlings were burned like that but they all outgrew it and you'd never have known. Unfortunately most of them were males/hermie but either way, it'll outgrow it. Gl
