[Loudpack516]

Had here under a 100watt T5 now I have her under a 600 W metal highlight

 

[MickFoster]

Very slow.
Here's 14 days for a comparison.
Always best to start in small pots.

I’m guessing the t5 I’m using not strong enough it was only like 100watts I think

Yeah those don't look 12 days old your light being to far away is a possibility when they were younger you go close with fluorescent lights also it is a blue cross maybe ya got a runty pheno from that the blue family is pretty known for it

Bro I just checked the t5 I had it under it’s only 96 watts ! Thats nothing correct ?

100 watts is plenty strong for a seedling.......it should be kept about 3" from the top of the plant. Also, the bigger pot is not helping with growth.

Ok then it's environmental if it's two different strains and your having the same issues unless your the unluckiest dude alive what's the odds on both being runts/mutants so yeah bud
