I couldnt help to see that other growers´ photoperiods (BB strains) are taller, thicker and leafier than mine by week 3 and 4. Is it normal that mine by the end of week 4 is this size? Affects that the seed shell is still attached to the stem? Will appreciate a lot your comments

Transplant them into decent sized pots, those tiny cups are dreadfully under sized for proper root development and only really adequate for the first 5-7 days of growth. Pots about 4 inches across and 5 inches deep are far more suitable and have enough room and volume for great root growth and enough space for 3 weeks of development. You can't grow an elephant in a canary cage! You also need to start feeding them with proper grow nutrients, half strength to start with, the supplements you are now giving do not contain any major nutrients in any great concentration. Seaweed, silica and root stimulants will not provide your plant with the building blocks it needs to grow properly and they all lack adequate amounts of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium (the major nutrients) that your plant needs to grow. At the moment, what you are giving is like feeding soup broth to a cage fighter, who really needs steak and carbs to perform to their best. Soup broth may prevent death, but will not provide the energy needed to perform at A level sports. It is all about nutrition and an adequate and balanced diet. Hope this helps, Organoman.

needs more light 👍 try lowering the Led a bit 30-50 cm should be good or put the plants up (depending on your growroom/setup) If that works just give them a few more weeks to veg and they should look fine. (or its somthing with the soil but that for someone else i didnt try coco)
