Documenting the progress after another week. Here's Week 3. Starting to show secondary leaves now coming in. "Acapulco Gold" and "Something Good" seem to be showing the most growth so far (more leaves, sticks in cups). Once they all get to be about as tall as the cups they're growing in, it will probably be time to transplant them into their bigger pots. These solo cups have a small hole for water to drain out as we've been manually feeding them and facing them where there's the most sun. During the day, it is sometimes warm enough to leave them outside. Lately, the air temperature has still been a bit too chilly. Once the air warms up some, we'll be putting about half of these plants in 3.5 gallon fiber pots and the other half in normal plastic pots. In February, we'll we preparing their outdoor growing space where there's plentiful sunshine and low foot traffic.

@love_2_grow, thanks for the comment. This will be my third year of growing my own so hopefully I have learned a few lessons and don't repeat some previous mistakes.
Autos don’t have to be small, and your plants were stunted due to stress of some sort. Could be lots of things but my guess is cool overnight temperatures. For northern hemisphere outdoor autos, or at least here in Canada, don’t start autos until mid to late May. Your plants will be way bigger and still done by end of Summer. Good luck.
