I need help troubleshooting weak plants! I think the clover might be the culprit but what do I do?

Can anyone tell me what’s going on with these plants and what I can do? This is my first grow. I can already tell the seeds are growing slow because other seeds I planted in smaller pots are growing much faster. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Dreadful root, water and nutrient competition from the other plant growing in the same pot, causing these seedling all sorts of grief. Perhaps digging up the seedlings very carefully and transplanting them would be what I would be doing. Also using a soil mix with a lot less bark, chips and coarse material will help. Companion plants should be grown in separate pots, or if desired as an under planting, not introduced until the cannabis seedlings/plants are well established. The plants (clover?) that are already well established in the pots have no doubt by now consumed a lot of nutrition from the soil, leading to these seedlings struggling. If these are auto flowering plants, you may have already hindered their progress too dramatically and starting fresh seeds could be your best option. For proper and fast growth, you need to plant your cannabis seeds in fresh, healthy soil that is free of any competition, as witnessed by your other seedling growing in its own pot. You also need to use a premium soil mix and not just any old dirt from down the back of the garden. Hope this helps, Organoman.

I don't think it is the substrate texture. What you got is seedlings starting in a nitrogen rich substrate. The dark green in them tells all. My guess is ph in substrate is not in a ideal range. I would trim back the clover, it pulls nitrogen from air and puts it in the substrate. Great for organic in vegging. The smaller the container the ph will change way faster vs bigger amounts. So as they are watered ph is changing. Why small potter one is bigger. I think you got a ph issue is my 100 percent opinion and why I believe so
