Are these plants gonna get where they need to be?

[Eternulwinter]

Very frustrated I made sure I watered the seedlings properly in the bigger pots studied very hard not to overwater or underwater these are 15 days old

seem small....will they still reach size and be good plants.this is my second grow.first one did not go well.so this is frustrating

I wouldnt worry yet, probably just getting their roots under them then they will take off. I had the occasional runt over the years but to have 3 would be pretty unusual, if your environment is good they will probably be fine, good luck

Way too big a pot for seedlings. You needed to start in a small cup / pod ( solo cups) then transplant up as it grows. Those pots are too big even for your end game. What are they 5 gallon? I max out at 5 gallon but I veg for a long time, 3 gallon is plenty for most of my in door grows unless I intend on vegging for over a couple of months. I can grow 7 ft monsters in 5 gallon...just saying......they may get there but it'll take some time....next time pot up as needed.

Not good to shock Auto's and lose growth days, transplanting is fine. Transplant shock happens if you are rough in transplanting, my plants don't get shock if I transplant at the right time, when the soil is dry enough & has enough roots to stay together when removing from the small pot.

I have a hole in the soil of the next sized pot the exact size of the pot I'm transplanting out of so when I remove the plant to be transplanted up it just slips into the new hole. Pat it down top it off with fresh soil add a little water or nute's depending on needs to help seat the plant in its new home. Zero shock, they're all up and perky the next day looking like they've grown a bit

Great minds think alike. That's exactly how I do it too.

To me they look like 1 week old plants. Just leave them as they are. What light do you use for veg? Do you know what your lux is off the light you are using? My plants above look like week olds & those in green pots maybe 10 days - 12 days old. I put them in my Flower room through the day and my 1000w hps pumps them up for 10 - 12 hrs / day.

I Just started using an LED light SF 1000 from Spider Farmer so i'm learning the ropes growing with led's and can't offer much help in regards.

Very common to see seedling stunt from to much light under LED. Not sure if that's the case here but just throwing it out there.

Where is that line between too much and too little? I started mine at 9000 lux 24" away, next day 13,000 18" a day later 13" 20,000 - 22,000. How high can i go?

I was also abducted by aliens in the late 70s. Weird things happen on windowpane. I'm pretty sure it was real though.
