Really stunted growth –– can't figure it out. pH monitored / adjusted. Following water guide, waiting until dry to water 100ml. 45watt LEDs 30 inches above. Tent not hot –– below 78F always. Slight light burn on tips, but otherwise no deficiencies. Organic soil / coco blend
Solved
Plant. Too short

Environment plays a huge factor in the vigor of seedlings. Ur low power lights raised to high is a contributing factor. Your extremely high rh is another factor. U say ur temps are always below 78f ... 25 celcius. But how much lower? Cold temps are just as bad as hot temps for slowing and stunting growth.

U have burnt tips and edges on ur leaves signaling some kind of heat,moisture,or ph issue as well. Which can be slowing ur girls down.

gotta remember different strains act different ways.. you can't go off anything else really.. genetics plays a part.. Just keep loving them and they eventually will love you back. I'd probably drop your lights a bit thou.. I had my 2 250w leds 30 inches when they were seedlings.. I'd probably drop them way down bro now that I noticed that..

Thanks for the reply Ttrichome –– there was an issue with the pot I was using so had to transfer her to a new one –– I know not ideal but figured I'd get a rough idea of her root structure while doing so They just haven't changed hardly at all in size for a full week –– meanwhile I see those of the same strain double the size of mine at Day 7. Just really not sure why so stunted and if there's anything I can do to fix it

That's not a terrible size for a auto at 2 weeks old. Remember the bulk of the first week goes to rooting. So it can support the vigorous fast moving growth of its auto genetics. It needs to settle in. Ripping it out the medium like u did is definitely going to make ur matters worse. Cause if u re plant her now shes gotta get rooted again. She will be stressed and stunted. Really killing ur veg time with ur auto. VERY BAD DECISION! Cant believe u ripped her up like that.
