Are these autos stunted?

Maybe I'm just being paranoid where this is my first grow but these girls are at day 20 from sprouting and are only about 3 inches from the soil. I did pick off the first 2 sets of nodes and feed them a little bit of recharge about 3 days ago.

Plant. Too short

Good afternoon! I would say they are not stunted, but they do look a little hungry. Photos 1 and 3 might just be the flash of the camera but if they are actually showing a little chlorosis (the pale green that they appear)this would usually point to a nutrient deficiency, most commonly Nitrogen or Sulfur or a PH imbalance. To start I would recommend checking the PH of your nutrient solution prior to feeding and catch the run off that drips out and test that as well. These girls are pretty forgiving in a range of 5.0-7.0 but thrive in the 6-6.5 range. If the PH is within range for each of the tests then you can go ahead and step up the nutrient level until the color returns. As far as the height this strain is described as “Sturdy” especially with autos which is usually used to describe shorter bushy plants. Your Seedbank describes Fast Berry as “ During the early stages of growth she stays low, with short internodal spacing and thick, fingered Indica fan leaves. She will stretch and grow with one main central cola, and an abundance of side branches” So just be patient and around the 6 week mark enjoy the rapid vegetative growth! Good luck and happy growing😎

They are all autos in 3 gal pots of ocean forest. I don't plan on topping them, maybe some LST when they get big enough.

Is it an auto or a photo? Autos typically reach full grown height rapidly, photos may take longer to reach the same proportions. If it is autos you are growing, topping will slow them down for a few days before they take off again and if you took the top cpl of nodes off, they will definitely be shorter than they were before you topped ;)

No you’re fine. Umm they tend to stay low and depending on your lighting like blue spectrum keeps plants nodes nice and tight. No stress. It will stretch when flowering starts. They look nice. Keep it up friend. Best wishes on your first grow. 🤙
