So I only recently joined the forum. Been reading a while and was debating on starting a journal or not. I have already made a couple mistakes and I'm hoping to still at least get some bud off of these plants.
I germinated 5 out of 6 beans successfully, planted them directly in soil and wrapped with plastic wrap to keep humidity in, I also started out in a DIY grow tent, made out of 2x4 and mylar wrapping. I immediately regretted doing it. The mylar just wasn't up to standard for me.

The light is a 1000w full spectrum from amazon. and the grow media is premier potting mix from Canadian tire. It was all I could get my hands on besides miracle grow. Day 1 for my girls is Oct 21.

This is one of the white widows. (two white widows two blueberry and one great white shark)

This is where I make the first mistake lol. I didn't soak my soil before planting them I only made the top moist. So I decide to water around the plants till I see run off and then I dont water for another week or so.

The plants all got to this stage fairly fast, but it seemed like they slowed down compared to a lot of grows I am following. day ten I watered them with sensi bloom a and b, as well as sensi calci-mag. (1ml per L). I should also note that all water for this grow from the beginning is RODI.

This is a picture of the plants today in thier new tent. I tore down the mylar this morning and put them in a 4x4 grow tent.

They seem very small to me for two weeks, especially compared to some grows. Also when I went down this morning i noticed the plant on the left suddenly looks a little deformed has has some yellowing, just noticed that. Is it from the nutes I wonder? Here is a close up pic, if i can't get anything here I will post in the infirmary as well.

Greetings @Devon11 and welcome to the group! Your starts look fine for their age. I have grown for many years and still learn new things every single crop. Great group of people here to help you along. Don’t be afraid to use Miracle Gro soil if it’s readily available to you. I live on an actual farm and Miracle Gro organic potting mix is all I use to start any of my plants, Cannabis or otherwise. I get great results and it’s very affordable and available at just about every Walmart anywhere. When you take your pics, try to use natural light because the LEDs really don’t make for good pictures for group members to help you. Looking forward to following your grow!

Good call on a natural light pic. Just went and took one. This is the only plant that looks like this. She is also my biggest. I was supposed to water her this morning but I am holding off to see what people say. Use regular rodi water? Or use nutes again or maybe just calcimag. Not to sure

Can you get pics with lights out? They are not far off two weeks, some are slower. Are you counting from breaking ground or from soaking.
I find growing is a personal journey, so comparing is not a fair thing. You are just starting and you need to grow your own way in the medium you can buy. You can try mixing other things in with your soil next time, to help it along.
They are a healthy size and shape, just need to figure out your yellow bits.
You can post in infirmary but will need good pictures.

light is a full spectrum 1000w led grow light, not sure of the brand. this is the link to amazon Amazon product and I haven't been bothering with ph because of the ph perfect line of nutes. Was hoping the sensi line would take care of it.
