My first seedling at 2 weeks - few Q's

Here's my baby Consuela (NL Feminized) about 2 weeks after her emergence. She perked up after her overwatering droopage and I think she is looking pretty good

My questions are:

Is she on par or lagging a bit behind for being 2 weeks old?
Should I start looking into adding nutes? (She is being grown in cheapo potting soil. Non PH tested. CFL lighting held just above her cup.)
Should I transplant her to a bigger pot soon?
Does that slight curling on her bottom leaves (indicated by the arrow) mean anything?

Thoughts please :)

Yours are deff on par, or even a head of schedule. My seeding is 9 days from sprout (breaking the soil)

how is far your light? id wait another week to transplant. but that's just me

Thanks man :) I've seen some monsters on this site labeled as 2 weeks old.. so I wondered. But maybe those were clones *shrug* didn't pay attention.

There's currently 3 CFL bulbs in her room but the one closest to her is a 23W 6500k (1650 lumens) and it is maybe an inch and a half - two inches from her leaves. Very close. I was worried that it might be TOO close but when I stick my hand between her and the bulb I don't feel anything so I thought she was alright. Is that curl possibly heat stress?

Nah I doubt its heat stress, I keep my CFLs 2 inches away, no problem.

Also, Preying leaves means a problem with magnesium deficiency. Its a common problem in indoor grows.

You can either foliar feed them (at night) with a very mild solution of epson salts or just feed them regularly. Im pretty sure it is a magnesium deficiency though....

Good size for 2 weeks. Notice that your largest leaves have reached the outside rim of the solo cup? That means the roots have pretty much reached the inside of the cup and are ready to start vegging. Transplant now for a bigger, taller plant. Leave her in the cup another week for a rounder, bushier plant. BigSteve.
