Something seems off to me, like these should be bigger. Put in soil 10-22. Never done this before but a cpl weeks ago I bent them all the way over for some lst...but they just seem tiny to me. Ffof and ffhf soil 40/60 fed half recommended ff trio a few days ago for first feeding and straight water yesterday...well ro water with cal mag... mephisto ghost toof and Skywalker x toof decay. Like theyre already in flower too. I think these are 7gal pots bloomplus xp3000. Any opinions?

They do not look like they were watered the last two days in a row. The plants look healthy, just in need of a drink. Keep them moist and watch them jump.

I would however hold off on more feedings until you see some steady growth.

Definitely way tiny for their age. How much water are you giving them; how often? By the time I've had month-old plants that small, it was from chronic underwatering. Even today, watering seedlings still gives me problems sometimes. You could help yourself out a lot by starting them out in Solo cups or 4" pots. Here are my current plants, sprouted 10/20 in Happy Frog. Never used FF nutes, and haven't heard great things, but I've always had the best luck starting seedlings with FF soils.

I think it’s over watering early on. Ffof and water alone should provide enough nutrients for a few weeks. Starting in a cup and working your way up to 7 gal is good standard practice to prevent this.

yeah i watered yesterday with about a half gallon each. I started in cups and went right to 7gal like 2 weeks ago. I will water more next time but the roots havent filled the pot yet i don't think. I also didnt want to overwater and assumed i just do half what i normally do and next time i'll go a full gallon.. my last grow i overwatered so underwatering makes sense... they have taken off decently today.

Roots grow in search of water.. If it's to dry they won't spread out.. I suggest watering the outside edges of the bags not just around the plant..

that's exactly what i did, i left about a 4 inch circle around the plant on all sides.

I’d wrap your fabric pots with plastic wrap. Another idea if you want to put seed straight into 7 gal is take 3/8 cotton rope and a screw driver and put wicks in the bottom, layer of perlite on bottom and bam you’ll be on easy street. Good luck, your plants look healthy.

I started my spring/summer grow with very slow growth. Then almost 3 weeks later I realized that I had my tent exhaust on and barely had any tent humidity going on. Killed the exhaust, humidity went up in the tent and growth took off from there on everyone.
