New grower, possibly a stunted plant? Thoughts? Solutions?

I have two seedlings, one is about 15 days old and the other 14. Let’s call them A (15 days) and B (14 days). A was on track and growing about a day ahead of B for a while, but today I realized although A has more leaf growth, it is significantly smaller than B. Is it possible I’ve stunted my plant?

This is my first time growing, ever. I have a 2x2x4 set up with about 100 watts of LED light accumulated, I’m keeping my tent at about 75 degrees Fahrenheit and RH at about 70 (Will lower both as the plant ages). there’s constant airflow from a carbon filter + fan. I have them in smaller pots right now because I’m waiting to get some better quality soil + fabric pots in the mail (should be a couple of days). this was my first attempt at growing so I know it’s gonna be some trial and error, and I didn’t have anything when I first germinated my seeds, this is something I have wanted to do for years and I already garden so it was a slightly impulsive buy (quarantine didn’t help with the impulsiveness). I started with miracle grow organic potting soil because that’s what I had and haven’t fed yet but bought the fox farm fertilizer trio and was gonna start in about a week once it’s officially veg (3-4 true nodes). I also have them on 24 hours of light while they are still little since my light set up isn’t very powerful. I was gonna switch that to 18/6 when I started feeding as well. Haven’t been over watering, only water when top soil feels dry. The only thing I can think of is about a week ago A got knocked over slightly and not uprooted or anything, I just adjusted it and replaced the soil that fell out. what have I done??? I am so new to this. Any thoughts? i just want to learn about it all. You can see in the comparison picture which one is bigger, that would be B. although, A has more leaves.

Oh and also I have no idea what kind of seeds they are ( rookie mistake). Like I said, I basically impulsively germinated some seeds from my stash lol and am trying to make it count lol. This is something I want to do from now on. (Loving it so far)

Looks pretty normal. Here are my babies at about 10 days from sprout.

Thank you!! Looking good!! Just wanted to make sure one of them wasn’t stunted because of the difference in color and size
They are all different. I only finish out a couple at a time but start 10 to 12 for that reason.
I am also growing regs so there will be males to weed out

only water when top soil feels dry.
water when the weight is of the pot is light

(Will lower both as the plant ages)
google VPD


bought the fox farm fertilizer
Don't overfeed them as you don't like someone to overfeed you, always go light on nutes, and they will love you back for this.

Different Genetics grows different


Oh and also I have no idea what kind of seeds they are
is it okay for you to know that both are males ? just be prepared as no one but a lab knows whats their sex , get a clone from a friend, something feminized maybe, just dont make so much hopes on these genetics, unless the mom bud was so powerful, but it will be a total joy if they grew to be females (at least one), they manged to survive, and the smoke was great .

This is something I want to do from now on. (Loving it so far)
specially when you wake up in the morning huh ? wanna see ur babies hahahha i know how it feels, i have been growing for 10 years and i still love to see them when i wake up. :)

You doing a good job, till now :) bravo

SO helpful! thank you!!! and yes I’m preparing myself for the possibility of males, trying to be positive about it lol! I just figured I would give it a shot. I’m definitely just gonna buy some seeds next time. Thank you for all the tips!! and it’s actually so funny you say that because every single morning now the first thing I do is check on my babies :lol:
