Quick start, then stall

enchant · March 27, 2018

I'm about a week in since planting. One thing that I've noticed is that several of my seedlings grew at breakneck speed at the start, then stalled. Planted on March 20. Several broke ground on the 23rd. By evening on the 25th, some were 2-1/2" tall. Since then, they haven't grown a millimeter. Is this due to the depth of the cell? Is it just coincidence that they're almost exactly as tall as the soil is deep? I normally don't repot until I see a lot of real leaves, but I'm trying an experiment and repotting one into a solo cup.
