So the vermiculite does have enough in it? Usually i don't start nutes until i transplant. This is first go with the vermiculite

Vermiculite is not soil and has absolutely no nutes in it.....you should be feeding 1/4 strength nutes.
Why did you use vermiculite?......it's used as a soil or perlite amendment to improve water retention in the root zone.

well, lets see. vermiculite isn't the best growing medium in the world, it trys to absorb and hold onto as much water as possible.
once a plant is above the ground, here should be no need to put a bag or dome over it, especially if the rh is already 60%....
70 is a little cool, you're looking for temps around 78 while the lights are on, about 70 when they're off.

Maybe theyre staying too wet too long? If it was not enough light ud have stretch. Too much light? Doubtful but i guess it happens. They look pretty good to me TBH

Yeah i just feel like on all previous by this time my 1st set of leaves is way bigger and 2nd set would be starting. Compared to others first weeks of growth i thought they looked kinda small. Thanks for your input

did you put them in straight vermiculite last time or use proper potting soil?

Last time i used jiffy seed mix. They didn't have that this time

thats why they are growing slowly/not at all. you might be better off starting new seeds in better soil if they are stunted that bad.

When vermiculite is wet it's very dense with little to no room for oxygen.
Oxygen = fast growth.
