You might want to cut your lights to a 20/4 schedule.. they do need a dark period... unless they're auto?
Look normal size to me..

Done. Just put them on 20/4. Was super impressed by their growth... Now I guess I'll give em some sleep for a few weeks until flower
 
I think they just grow crazy fast when they are taken good care of.
Here were mine on day 15 from soil , one was under a 10w LED bulb and the other under a 23w CFL , both 2400k.On a 12/12 light cycle from seed.

I tried different vegging schedules and found my vegging plants dont need any darkness to thrive. I chose 24 hour light as my very best option compared to the others. My plants are from venus so this wont likely work for anyone else I imagine

First part is false information. Please don't repeat it. If they needed a dark period, 24hr light would be detrimental. It's not. Not at all. Unless you're trying to flower a photo period plant that is.

long ago I measured daily in different tents to check this for fun. 18,16, 20...etc. 16 worked fine for new plants from seed but my clones would start preflowering early and I dont like that. They dont do that under 24/7, the cost is negligible, like a few more dollars a month to run 24 vs 20 and I see my plants feel good about it too. I get the best results under 24/7 in veg and no timer failures ever.
I run a 485 watt 220 t5 in veg for the last 8 years, same bulbs even and I never blew a bulb or ballast. My par meter shows acceptable loss and I see no detrimental effects. My girls veg today better than ever because chemdogs do that

This is your opinion and doesn't make my opinion false info.. You obviously haven't done much studying of photo
period effects on plant growth.... You can repeat this!

Not opinion. Science. They do NOT NEED a dark cycle. Saying they DO is false. I'm not Bill Nye and don't feel it's my job to teach you science behind it. Feel free to believe whatever you want but you're spreading false information.

Dark periods in veg only do one thing: make your veg longer. It won't reduce your power bill since you're vegging for a longer period. It's a wash. C3 plants only perform photosynthesis while light is present. The only time cannabis needs dark is to flower. Dark periods during veg also promote some stretching.

If there larger then your previous grows and from seed maybe males?

I use to think the same thing. Tall, big and lanky are usually males but, now I know better. Never judge a book by it's cover and all that. I recently had a male that I never expected. It was the shortest bushiest plant I had but, sure enough the other day it had a set of big balls.

I noticed with my little 134w LED which is a Mars 300 they recommend 18/6. This is my first time with LED so I am trying to adjust. I was using CFL's before and the results were not great. But with this LED I have never seen such amazing growth. So glad I switched.
So yea your plants look great and about the right size for there age.
Sometimes you just get some seeds that have amazing genetics and under the right conditions they will thrive like crazy.
 
Hmmm...interesting seeing everyone's opinions on light timing.

I have mine on 16 on 8 off...8 bulb T5 light. these are my veg plants at 4 weeks from seedling breaking soil.

Just waiting for sex to show now before I choose the 2 best for a SCRoG.

They are two different strains, The Black and Original Blueberry. Indicas

By the way, yours look like your normal 2 week old plants...you can top em now too.
