Hey guys Looking for some help on my plants I started all as seedling. Some plants are 3" tall some are 8" tall some look healthy others dont. should Instill follow the 6week veg from seedling or should I let them grow a certain amount height wise.. what would cause them to grow so differnt.. their are 3 differnt strands here also. they are 4 weeks old from the day i planted

Genetics. I mean that looks extreme to me but when growing from seed depending how well the strain was stabilized it will have varying characteristics from seed to seed. Well stabilized the genetics willy give much less varying phenotypes from seed to seed.
When you see people pheno hunting this is what they are doing. Since a plant from seed can express different phenos as @MIMedGrower stated they can have different feed requirements, growth rates, yields, thc content and the list goes on and on. They are trying to find a mother to clone will all the traits they are looking for. Usually large resinous buds, compact fast growth, nice terp profile easy growing... Etc etc etc

That makes sense but how does one know how much nutrients each needs. i just follow a generic chart but I do use all the nuts they say to. should I wait to see if they start growing healthier to transfer to harvest in 2 weeks?

You just have to read the plants. In general if you have a balanced fert normally you can go by nitrogen. Different size plants will also have different needs. Personally I would tend to the needs of the most robust plants. Then clone before flower and you then know you have all robust clones that will grow the same.
Mostly strain related, as the plants all look pretty healthy. I grew a Jack Herer and it took 3 weeks to get the 1st set of leaves, while others were towering above it. It caught up eventually, but some strains stall after sprouting and develop big root systems, then seem to grow at an accelerated rate. Of course, some seeds are better than others, as was mentioned earlier.
One thing that I did notice is that the plants seem tallest at one end of the growing area, while the smallest are at the opposite end. Is this just a coincidence or is there a light dispersion problem, where one end gets a lot more than the other? I grow in Promix so I can't comment on your nutrients or Ph, but everything looks pretty good as far as I can see.
