true leaf ?

My Foot Smells · February 6, 2017

it usually takes about 30 days from seed to first true leaves for me, but I see others here that have a bushy plant with true leaves in a couple of weeks.

my light source might be weak, 4 t5 bulbs over seedling tray.

I do not fert and use sterile seed starting mix. I start to fert when leaves arrive.

I keep the house at 65.

lights stay on from 0600 to 2200, and maybe put outside if the day is nice.

all said, looks like my seedlings have not grown much or any in the past 12 days since sprouting. the codeldons are still there but no stem or top growth (visually measureable).

Maybe there are some "tricks" to speed things along?
