Hello everyone I hope everyone is good and in great health...am here seeking for help and advice.... my babies here are 14 12 11 days old I did the wet napkin method keep them in the dark till they poped. Put them in the planters and give them 12 hrs of sunlight and 12 hrs of darkness and yes am growing outdoor. All give them is tap water. I wanna know what am doing wrong. Yes this my 1st time and I just grab some fertilizer from some planters I have in from of my house. Are they growing at a normal rate.? What do y’all think

Welcome, looks like your soil may be a little hot but they don’t look bad at all.

I agree. Maybe the stunted growth is because as soon a the main tap root hits bottom, you start losing vertical growth.
Planting in that shallow of a cup wasn’t an ideal move, but will work fine I’m sure. Can you see roots at the bottom?

Also, you shouldn’t be doing 12/12 yet.
24/0 or 20/4 is where you should be at this point.
Is that a compost based soil?

To be honest I haven’t checked and the only reason there in a small cup is because I had nothing else around me my kids used up all my red cups I had and I only had one planter left am going to make the switch tonight in the smaller pot I have there

When you mean 24/0 that mean all darkness no light yet and 20/4 mean all dark and lil light. I believe compost base soil is correct I just used the soil that I had in from of my house to honest. And going to switch soil this weekend if I can do that and move them to a bigger pot.???? I never knew it take this much work to get some decent marijuana. I would love your feed back

Roots don’t like light, so you might run some duct tape around the sides. They will probably be fine for now, but when you start seeing roots, you might consider up potting.
If you can get standard black gallon planters, that would be your best bet. I think you’re too far in for solos.
I did mine in short cups too and had the same experience. Mine were a bit bigger before I transplanted though. Here’s what mine looked like.

Do YOU use any of the other nutrient supplements with it? Bud Explosion, Sweet Candy, cal-mag pro I see some do, but that kind of defeats the whole “all in one” thing. All my plants are on straight MC with nothing else. There are a few people adding BE and at least one running the whole GLN...

Trie a deeper pot, the first few weeks are the slowest at least it was with my plant, looks healthy just a little small

Fox Farm Happy Frog since they’re younger. Move to Ocean Forest or Roots Organics when you go into 5 gallons.

It doesn’t have to be Fox farm, just a lite mix, up until you get into 5 gallons.
