To be fair certain grow mediums hydroponic/coco do have quicker growth rates than soil. Also op he has countless hours of more experience. You cant start judging your plants off other peoples plants from the internet or on here or anywhere. It's your first grow you cant expect much if even success. Name something else new that a person has never attempted before that they have 100% success without knowing anything except internet hearsay. That normally isn't a universal method but personal opinions as to what works in the posters environment, or within their knowledge. Mainly online jargon, not referring to grow forum's. To get a grasp and learn everything it could take years. My photo runs run atleast 6 months, plus I didn't keep my same method of growing for years. With each grow I had to learn new means and methods as I didn't know of online grow forum's until I was already 2 years in. I thought I knew everything pertaining to my method I found out quick with grasscity blurples aren't knowing everything. Lol this was back when spider farmer and mars hydro were just as bad as blurples, not that most of their lights have improved much. Options were limited to expensive ass light fixtures. The meaning to all this is relax, and learn. Dont get overly worked up over something you're just learning unless you're the rain man of horticulture.
