New grower plants look behind compared to others

[Diamondhunter]

I have recently started a good amount of plants
And I’ve been looking at other plants that are on the same day as them and they look way behind

I have them set in a 3x4 closet with them on a shelf and two lights above them and a fan blowing up ward hanging on the hanger bar

idk if they font have enough carbon dioxide in that little area or if it’s just cause I’m not taking care of them right

I water them not to much making sure the first half inch of first isn’t moist and I water it then let them be and when I comeback the dirt is usually dry On the first few layers I water them at least once a day

this photo was taken about 2-3 days ago

Could be a runt and a bunch of other things. They look a little stretched out though.

I would cover those clear plastic cups asap too. Roots do not do well with light hitting them. You also need to allow a dry cycle with your soil too. even though the top of the soil may feel dry, it can still be damp enough just under where you are checking. I would water those seedlings every other day instead of daily. Hope this helps.

Too wet. You only water a small area where the stem comes up at 1st. As it grows you water more & more toward the edge. It's better to give a little water more often then a lot of water at once.

I agree with BubbleBuketz on the Domes if you are going to be misting the whole plant like that.
If you don't dome them the misting will do more harm then good with the damage the light will cause to the wet leaves. Doming them will produce Humidity in there that the babies like.
Your light is probably a little too high also since it's stretching like that.
The last thing I see is you are using clear cups. You need to put those clear cups into some solid color solo cups. Roots need to be in the dark. They don't like the light.

Thx for all the info I will cover up the cups and change there watering schedule in the morning

The plants might not be getting enough light then. Move the light closer to the plant to stop the stretching. At some point though, you will need better lighting for flowering.

Mars-Hydro, one of our sponsors here, has some nice cheaper options that will get you through an entire grow. Quite a few members including myself use them as well.

I use 2 of the Mars Hydro TSW 2000's. I think a DIY QB might be cheaper but not sure. I'll be trying some of those out eventually.

Needs a lot more light

Plants do look a little stretched and I would try to avoid letting water sit on top of them, I had that happen to one of mine and it burnt it, I would move your light closer and maybe better lighting.
