Things are going slow
I am overthinking it. Figured out I am over watering them. About half of them were not growing much so I got rid of those last night. I believe because they are so old not properly storing them has made them really slow. The one's that made it and are growing so far are just jumping back and getting new growth. I think I was over watering and the light was too close and intense. They wouldn't grow upwards much, then I cranked the fan up, backed the light off a bit, and gave them longer dark periods and they are drying out and coming back. I will have to work with these for now as I am on a budget, don't really want to have to pop my pack of exotic... Plus I guess I will have to continue these and now it seems this may be turning into a breeding/preservation run to pheno hunt males and females to make new seeds to be able to keep these genetics
But when I make new seeds from these will they be slow germination as well. Or do you guys think if I can nurse them back to good health and then make seeds the seeds should refresh the genes?

I threw away about 50 last night. Kept the best ones, that left me with 42 that are growing slow, and some of those are stunted or mutants growing weird. So I just popped some more last night to get some new seedlings that will hopefully grow faster than these and have better health from the start.

I have these two Delhi Friend x Garlic Breath that looked like twins at first. They both had a cool yellow cotyledon almost the color of a banana from day one, then they started to get purple veins going through the yellow. Eventually turning the cotyledons solid purple and then they popped the first set of leafs and the leafs got that same purple veining in the leaf tips and then the first one popped green leafs but the second one is stille working to do what the first one did. I'm guessing it has to do with genetics and the problems stunted. They look like they never really grew these past few weeks. But most of them have 4 sets of leafs already, they are just short and stacked. Once I let them dry out, and moved the light off of them a bit to allow them to stretch, they started forming new growth...

These are the same strain/cross and they both stand out from all the normal green plants...

 

[Doctor Doob]

Most of these plants look dumb

This is a Garlic Breath x Garlic Breath Triploid. Three cotyledons and three single leaves on the first set of true leafs.

If you're going to make seeds I'd say that they will be more vital than the seeds stored over a long period of time.
You're right that they look kinda dumb, as you say but over the years i made the experience that those seedlings after making it through always impressed me with their growth and bloom and i don't discard any slow growing seedling anymore.
It's good that you found the possible problem and now it is just waiting and keeping the grow parameters in check Fingers crossed that you stay in a jungle of green by the end of next month
