First grow, did a bunch of research and talked to some buddies so lets see how this goes. Ordered a Vivosun Grow Kit with the basics: Tent: 24"x 24"x 48" (growing in apt, somewhat space limited) Light: 300W LED Vivosun Vivosun Carbon Filter/Exhaust Fan Vivosun Timer Clip on Fan (Amazon) Germinated 2 strains, 3/per strain, (paper towel method), both photo-period (90% sure) and non-feminized (100% sure): 1. Green Fire (Fire OG Kush x Green Creek) BB Seeds - bought in dispensary, no website, no information online...questionable...SATIVA...I think. 2. Sweet Honey Nugs (88 G13 HashPlant x (PNW HashPlant x NL#1)) Equilibrium Genetics - also bought in dispensary, INDICA dominant. Seems way more legit. After seeds cracked, plants were placed in Coco Coir/Perlite Potting Mix in a Solo Cup (lower fertilizer charge). Ordered Coast of Maine Stonington Blend (SB) Organic Grower's Mix (super soil) and plan to transplant seedlings into final pots with COM once it arrives (should be a day or 2). For Nutrients, I also have SB Organic Plant Food for veg and SB Buds and Blooms for flower. Haven't quite determined the scheduling on when I'll start using these. Notes/Observervations: Started 6 plants with the anticipation there will be some Males. I hope I'll end up with 3-4 that I get to flower.

Week 2, day 16, the first plant to sprout (Green Fire) still only has it's first leaves (day 8 with cotyledon's). Other plants (separate strain) have now sprouted and surpassed the Green fire in terms of having true leaves. What's going on here?

Does not look to have a growth tip, you can see better if one is not there it will never do anything. May as well wait though not that far behind.

@DirtyDave, wow, I was looking up. Stonington Blends Organic Grow Mix. that looks like great soil. I am not sure I can find it near me. what do you think of dry nutes ?
DirtyDave

@1stmanny, much appreciated. I would absolutely recommend the coco coir/perlite mix but, personally, I'm just using it as a starter until my plants get big enough then switching to Stonington Blends Organic Grow Mix to finish out the grow. Plenty of growers on here seem to use the coco/perlite/vermiculite/etc. throughout the whole life cycle, just need to pay closer attention to nutes.

Appreciate the feedback on the "Stunted Seedling" Question, plant seems to be back on the right track. Following back up with some responses: @rhodes68 - chosen correct response, in the end just had to be patient and wait it out, see week 3. @Simscrog - thanks for the tips but that's kind of exactly what I already did. This one was stuck with no first growth after ~18 days, just took way longer than expected/compared to other plants. @Blueboy2019 - Yeaaa, at this point, 3/4 plants are going according to plan so I'm not sure why you recommended to scrap the entire grow. @OGgrows - Only using a sprayer on all plants at this stage and been pretty cautious about the watering so I don't think this was it, but it may have had something to do with. Definitely letting the substrate dry a bit more nowadays.

@Blueboy2019, I see where you're comin from but these are photo periods and should have plenty of time to bounce back...and it's only on 1 plant. Also, this being my first grow and all, I'd like to work through issues and learn that way I can be dialed in on the next grow. Appreciate the input but lookin for helpful solutions here.
