Yeah man, looks more like 5-7 day'ish size, agree with redrobbo re the cups, and you mention takes a while to dry..no holes in the cups? you may be "drowning" / "suffocating" the roots... ...cue the experts

Yeah they look healthy and are small for their age.
I often get this growing in coco,its very worrying until they show some growth.
It doesnt look like the early feed you gave her has affected her,but who knows?
Is your ph in order?

Yeah my pH should be in order, to 5.8. I just made a batch of nutes slightly stronger, 1/5 of power (i was using like 1/8). I am thinking to give it some.
I am gonna give it another week and see what happens. Otherwise I mite start again, for the third time lol. No sense to go on for a couple of joints.
I definitely wanna start with soil.
Any suggestion?also for nutes?

I doubt I overwatered them; i kept the watering to a very minimum; coco was dry several inches down each time i watered; i started watering slightly more lately, given the slow growth. i was watering 30 ml per plant every 3 days, 40% perlite in the mix.
I don't know what's the problem. they seem healthy, just slow.
What should I do?

At 2 weeks old they should be able to take 1/5 strength feed.
If you have damaged them with early feed(which,i dont think you have)the damage is already done.
Try feeding them what youve mixed,ive had a lot of slow starters,but they come thro in the end.

I am gonna guess that the slow growth is caused by the root growth being stopped by the small cups. The roots (esp. the tap root) grow alot longer and quicker than the plant you can see about the ground in the early stages. Suggest you post in the help thread where the guru's will advise. Good luck man.
