second set of true leaves

How long should it take between sets of true leaves. It's been about a week for my two littlest ones and about two for my bigger girl. They all look really healthy,Is there any thing I can do to promote growth in the seedlings, or is adding a fertilizer this quick in the game a bad idea?

growth is painfully slow the first two weeks. Yes you can feed now, weakly. More light will give you more growth. I only use 6500 K CFLs for seedlings.

in the first month or so most of the growth happens under ground. for the most part, they will sprout a set real quick then start building their root structure a bit before really shooting up. i would personally wait before feeding unless as frmr said you do it in moderation.

depends mostly on light..what kinda lights you runnin on those lil ladys? like he said.cfls are good for lil ones..u can grow your whole crop on cfls for that matter, but just keep them 2inchs from the top of your plants..
some strains grow faster and slower than others..
u can use some nutes..as long as they are at least 2 weeks old..nothing but water till then..and then just start 1/4 strenghth and work your way up..
go with something that promotes new root growth at this stage..check walmart if you wanna go cheap..plenty of root hormonal stuff there...keep me posted.

hi, was reading this and am in a similar position myself. Heres a pic of my lady, just gone 2 weeks old but growing slowly. Anyway these new pistils like leaves are developing. Shall I feed now?



I was told not to feed anything for 2 weeks, as lazy88 said also, but I also heard that you can wait 3 weeks.

Now all these new shoots are coming I'm not so sure.
