So, staring at them doesn't make them grow faster?

Pictures, pictures. Take lots of pictures. Wait...No, I've tried that.
As you see them a few times everyday you won't notice the growth. In a few weeks flick back and look at your old pics, you will be amazed at how quick they grow. When I left mine for a week I was stunned to see how much they come on.

OK...day 11 pics...what do you see?
She looks like she is low on nitrogen. If you have it, I like to give them "a drop" of super thrive for 4 oz of water. Gives them a little kick. Shouldn't need it since the soil should have enough nutrients but it doesn't hurt.
I was thinking they look a little pale. Is it the pic making them look like this or are they like this?
If so, As nismo said a bit of N is needed. Otherwise they look well. Reaching for that light.

A little bit of both...they, four plants, couple look a bit light green, one is a nice darker green and another kind of in between....I will add some N... I have some miracle gro (24*8*16)...if I mix a tsp of that into a gal of water is that too much?
Whatever the directions say, I would do 1/4 to half the recommened. They are still young and don't need to be pushed over the limit just yet. A little will go a long way.
. How often are you watering also?- Thread starter

I water when I planted them...day 1...waited 7 days and watered again...so its been 3 days since watering and was planning to water again tomorrow. Now when last watered, I used a gallon jug that I had filled and let sit out for 3-4 days to let the Cl dissipate...put a quart in each pot watering around the edge and then in the center. It was enough water to wet the soil in the pot and pass through to the bottom...there was some extra in the base but not swampy

I also have a lot of rain water that I have accumulated for my backyard garden and could use that?
I quiver at the thought of miracle grow, pretty strong stuff for a seedling. Tap water that has sat out for a day is OK to use. Do you have any other nutrients other than miracle grow? If you must use it, 1 drop per liter would probably be enough.
Bingo!

I still have the potting mix and vermiculite...I could make a tea from that?
I like your thinking. In theory it should work, compost and water in a bucket and bubble it for 24 hours. You need proper nutes tho.
Pigeons420 used miracle grow on his first run with good results but it normally ends in bad nute burn and dead plants.

Oh...the miracle gro product I have is granular.....does that make a difference?
Please don't use it, please. It's a slow release thing, you will pop some on wait a bit and one day for no reason your plants will burn, bad. No amount of flushing helps. It's bad s**t dude.

I dumped that "other" water and brought in a gal of rain water....
Something liquid if nutrients are what you seek. You could always look into organic soil. You should be able to get a starter pack of nutrients online for about $20
