New Grower First timer here, am i screwed?

First timer here. My plants are 4 weeks old today. Im assuming these are super stunted, should i even keep going, or pop new seeds and start over?

Going to need more info mate

What type of seeds? Feeding? Soil type?

They seem to be two weeks behind on growth but looks pretty healthy. How did you germinate and plant the seeds?

You are right. They’re small. But you’re not screwed, you just need to fix what’s going on. You can restart, but what will you change? I’m guessing you need to up your light game. Personally, I’d get one of these and see what you think after a couple days: https://cobshop.net/shop?olsPage=products/autocob-55

Thanks for the responses everyone. They are pineapple auto. I popped them using paper towels, then went into 5 gal planters. Im using a soil mix i found of royal queen seed website. It's a mix of cow manure, peat moss, perlite, and vermeculite.

I have a 600w LEW (280 actual power draw that seems to matter). The electric run is pretty far so i think ive had amp drop so i moved the light closer than it should normally be to compensate. I may be overwatering. I just picked up some veg nutes from the hyrdo store in town, and a seaweed "tea"

As far as what would change...i have the proper nutes, i am properly phing my water (was using a faulty meter). And i was dealing with very low temps the first week.

Those 3 things have changed, so if i were to start over i would be much more prepared for the temps, pH, amd food. My light is inexpensive, but it has received a lot of good reviews, so at this time I am not going to invest in a new one.

Anything i can do to help these catch up, or do i just need to let nature run her course?

Ah, so lots of changes. In that case you should see these ladies pick up in no time. Yes, the light sounds fine too. They look healthy, just a bit small now, that should start to change.

Thank you! I had no idea this process was so involved, but it's really neat!

I'd let them grow!

Btw, welcome to AFN!

Since you all have said to let them keep going, i will do that. I just keep seeing pics of peoples plants at week 4 and they are monsters and some look like they are budding already.
