It's normal for plants to have that many blades during it's seedling. When it hits 5 blades Its no longer a seedling and when I suggest you start treating with things like neem oil or other things. I personally find an 18/6 cycle is best for our Autoflower. Keep um going they will surprise you. 🤘😤

Are they automatic? if so try reducing to 20 hours of light before switching to 18. Are you fertilizing them? at this point you should give them some nutrients to grow effectively, one of your plants already shows signs of Nitrogen (N) deficiency by turning lime green in color. What is your setup? climate(temp and humidity)? lamp? distance from lamp? This is all very important information needed to pinpoint the problem. Anyways don't give up on them yet, if treated right they can grow faster than you'd expect. Give them a chance and give us some info so we could help you! Happy growing :)

Yes, I agree with gmslave, neem on such baby plants is a bit rough. Definitely stick to 18/6, plants do need to "sleep" and 24 hour light will just mess with their genetics, nowhere in their life has cannabis or any other plant evolved under 24 hour light. I dare say they are stressed from the 24 hour light. Try not to overfeed them, plants of that size and age need surprisingly little feeding. I am sure now that they have a more normal lighting schedule, they will pick up soon enough. Just remember, "good things come to those who wait" and so it is with plants, they need time, nurturing and patience, they are not machines to be run at full speed their whole lives. Hope this helps,... Organoman.

Stick with them. They will start producing full leaves very soon and growth will speed up.

plants need a dark period in order to rest. So going to 18/6 was a good move. Never throw your plants out, just make sure you aren't overwatering, and make sure your ph is correct, they will grow up to be nice and strong. Happy growing.

Best to start babies in a small planter filled with nutramix or promix hp. Plant directly into the peat, 3 days after sprouted feed at 400ppm 0.8 ec. After 1 week the baby will be more prepared for the soil and can be transplanted. Plants have a hard time getting going in amended soils and putting anything like neem oil on a little baby or to its tap root will harm her. Be like putting heat rub on a newborn baby. Their to delicate. Cheers
