First-Timer! Seedlings are growing very slowly?

[purpleyurple]

Hi everyone!
My first time giving this a crack & this is totally a backyard, personal (preferably organic although I plan on using fertilizers) grow.

Anyway it's been about 3-4 weeks since germination and they seem to be growing very very slowly - one even slower than the other. They are both in regular potting mix inside peat-pots at the moment & I move them from inside to outside in the sunlight and bring them back in of a night time. I was hoping to leave them in the back yard once they have the strength to survive the weather. I have no idea what strain they are - I think they are still too young to tell if it's indica or sativa by the size of the leaves either.

Is there any tips you can give me? Today's been a really windy and rainy day so in these photo's i've brought them inside under a 60 watt lamp in my room with the window open for ventilation - not sure if this is a good idea on every cloudy day or not? Can you guys give me some tips? ALSO: The stems are red? Is this normal for seedlings?

Cheers in advance!

Hello Purpleyurple (BID will love that name)

They look great. I would re-pot now into bigger pots and bury at least half the stem when you do it. If you are going to bring them in I would get a full spectrum CFL to put them under

Okay awesome, I'll repot them and see how they go.
What about the red stems? Are they normal? Also - in general would you say they are growing too slowly? Or am I just over reacting?

ya bud you need to repot bad. move them into 3 gal pots veg for a month and then flower.
You should have some nice plants then.

Are you giving them 18 hours of light?

Kinda fixed the issue with repotting with one, however the smaller one still isn't doing well. It hasn't grown much more and the leaves are getting a yellow tinge to them. Any ideas? I've moved any discussion to a grow journal:
First Grow! Unknown Strain - Outdoor - Organic

Thanks for the input guys!

Depending where u r, the hours of daylight and temperature might be your issue
