stunted seedling?

do my plants look small for their age? they are all 13 days old, about 2 inches tall and 2.5-3.5 inches wide. when looking at other peoples plants online mine look rather disappointing :/ if anyone could help me out that would be great

It always takes a while to get enough roots to build foliage
They will kick into gear as that occurs
BTW I always start new plants in a small container
then transplant a well rooted baby to a larger pot

Yes small for 2 weeks.

i transplanted them about a week in and they seemed to grow as they normally would without looking stunted, but they still seem a little bit small for me...

You've already transplanted those? Why?

because i already germinated them and the soil i ordered got really late, started them in 16oz cups and transplanted after 6 days, the transplant shouldnt have damaged anything tho

That’s about how mine looked a week ago and now they’re on their 4th and 5th nodes respectively. Just give it time. Plus, they probably slowed down a little from the transplant.

I learned K.I.S.S. Early on. Keep it simple stupid. give them time. Don’t over water.

Seedlings can be kept in a 16oz cup for a lot longer than that. Many growers leave them in there for 2 to 4 weeks.

Sometimes it takes a little bit for plant to acclimate to its new home.
