I don't like to transplant. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป
Iโ€™m not trying to sway you either direction but Iโ€™ve found my plants to be bigger and more vigorous when theyโ€™re started in solos like @Dadman86 said.

Youโ€™ll see a lot happier plants as well if you switch from plastic to fabric pots. Night and day.

Yeah I might get fabric pots in the future.โ˜ฎ๏ธ

These were $2 a piece and the trays were $1.25 so good deal.

I drilled a bunch of holes in the pot for airflow, which seems to be working well.

I'm sure my roots aren't very deep and wide just yet.

I'm going to add liquid fertilizer tomorrow and see what happens.

I'll start safe, with 1/4 of what is normal dose.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

I don't think they'll germinate, but I'm keeping them under the light a little longer still.
If you go to the Marina Blvd Safeway you can enjoy the bridge view while hogging down those berries!

I've never done that before, I just stuck my finger ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ in there and used my moisture meter.
Itโ€™s a great way to use muscle memory to help make watering decisions, keeps you from overwatering and allows you to focus on other signs from the plant that water is needed. Just a quick lift of the pot, anything over 50% saturation will have a substantial weight difference to it as you near the 25% mark itโ€™s noticeable difference in weight, as you lose more water to use after that 15-25% mark the plant will start to droop its leaves and tell you itโ€™s thirsty. These saturation levels are ballpark estimates, so donโ€™t quote me on that, just personal observations. Also I am really high right now so, cheers !๐Ÿคค

some moisture meter are notorious for sometime giving inacurate results.

better to get used to the weight of the pot when it's dry and when it's saturated after watering slowly till a little run off.

the first few week that will tell you what amount to water after a good dryback of the top soil layer until the plant get big enough and the roots colonizated the whole pots then you start watering again with larger amount till a little run off or just a little less.
with small plant in big pots top layer as well as directly around the young plant trunk will dry faster than bottom of the pot or far from the roots until the plant get big enough you need to water accordingly.

what's concerning about your plant actually.

-is that 3 weeks since the seeds were soaked it's only on her third true leaves stage (fourth or fifth leaves stages should already have grown noticeably as well as secondary branches on nodes start showing), and the second leaves stage has grown noticeably while the third not so much that third leaves stage should already be bigger seeing how big is the second, not a good sign, may be a mutation with that node. Also leaves size are much smaller than it should for a plant that age in a pot that size.

overwatering often result in stunted plant, else that seed is weaker from the start and doesn't yet show much recovery signs to more vigorous growth, it may or may not later..

i hate to be the bad omen guy, but not starting too well so far.

How come in such a big pot? I've found solo cups to be super easy for first 4 weeks.
my plant usually start getting/growing smaller if i leave them more than 2 weeks in small cups. they grow much bigger in bigger pots past that point than in small cup when healthy and vigorous.

as soon as the plant get rootbound it's start acting like a bonsaรฏ with reduced growth as compared to when the roots can expand normally.

Youโ€™ll see a lot happier plants as well if you switch from plastic to fabric pots. Night and day.
overexagerated, people have been growing healthy and vigorous cannabis plant in plastic pot for ages long before fabric pots were even a thing. nothing like night and day in between the two with proper watering pratices, more like pro and con for each.
