So i have some seedlings but one seedling is at its second node while the rest are still on there first even tho they were all germinated at the same time . But tht one seedling is ahead of all of them could it have been to transplant shock or something due to others being behind ? Here are some pics any help or advice will be appreciated the ones in the cups are the ones im talking bout which are bagseeds also have 2 feminized skywalker ogs started a week later in those 2 black square pots..

Main concern is why are they behind the one thts on its second node if they were germinated the same day

I wouldn't worry about it to much...seedlings grow at different rates. That one just happens to be vigorous. In my experience those seedlings that take off like that and are taller than the rest of the pack are often males.. not always but quite regularly, I've noticed the males try to get a head start so they can drop pollen over the females.

Yes they are in coco/perlite, roots are coming out the bottom but they will be on week 3 from seed monday
this isnt a reason too transplant just yet right? I did a wet to dry cycle 2nd week to get the roots looking for water but ive be keeping them moist from then on with light feeding of nutes floraseries

I don't see any perlite.
So they will be 2 full weeks old from sprout on monday?
They're not ready for transplant yet........but when you do, you might consider adding about 30% perlite to your coco.
Coco is not soil and should never get dry........ever.
Feeding daily to run replenishes the nutes, pulls in fresh oxygen to the roots, and prevents salt build up.

Good luck.

Ok.
It could be the lighting but they look yellowish.......like they need food.
They are definitely behind.......even your biggest one is a little behind.

I'm not trying to show off or embarrass you.......these plants are 21 days from sprout for a comparison.
I simply fed daily with weak nutes to run off starting around day 3.......it's typical growth for me.
