Hola cannabis friends... Hope everyone had a happy 420!!!

I've got an odd situation going on here and wondering if anyone can lend some advice.

I've got three plants going at the moment...

The first two were planted over a month ago and are the ones on the bottom and upper right in the second photo- 4/16 and 4/19. The one on 4/19 (upper right) is just sooo small and doesn't make any sense.

The one the sprouted on 4/16 (bottom right), well - she's about 2 - 3 times the size of the other but at this point, still way too small... The part that's weird though, you can see that she's already starting to show nodes in the last two photos on the main stem which TO ME seems so very odd but I've also never seen it happen on such a small plant but I've also never had this slow of growth before - ever.

The third literally sprouted 4/12 so less than two weeks and she's pretty much exploding in growth at least in comparison to the other two which are over a month old! Yea, she's only got 1 true set of true leaves but she's much bigger lol.

The first two small ones were grown in some miracle grow seed starter... I've used it in the past and worked perfectly fine but it's been over a year since I've used it and seemed to be pretty hydrophobic when I moistened the soil to throw the germinated seed into. Really had to mix it up and water it several times to get it to hold any water.

This last one which seems to be coming along fine was started in Ocean forest which is what I normally use but didn't have any when I germ'd and just used what I had...

Think if I went ahead and transplanted the small two early (based on size only lol) into some larger containers of ocean forest they would respond and start to pick up?

Also just using some 6500k and 5000k leds for veg which I normally do but thinking about switching to my 2k watt multi spectrum led which I normally flower with.

Gracias!!

You kinda answered your own question. The Miracle Grow ones are sucking and the FFOF one is all good.

I'm not a fan of Miracle Grow myself, but FFOF is good stuff. I started with FFOF and have turned it into no-till since.

You make a good point... I just assumed it worked before so why not now it's just soil lol.
