Slow growin?

Hey gang, yet another question...my seeds germed ten days ago and the plants are now about an inch and a half tall, starting a second set of leaves and it's roots started coming out of the peat pellet so i transplanted to a one quart pot. all seems to be doing well just seem kinda slow. temps are 75-80
am i doing ok? or is this slow? any thoughts?
thanks and be cool

BV im gonna have to disagree with you on that one, they still seem pretty small to be giving nutes, let them get couple of nodes of development first or if you see them starting to yellow and then go in with a 1/8 - 1/4 strength nutes. keep in mind its better to stay on the lighter side of the ferts especially if you dont have ppm meter.
 
The more leaf mass you have the faster they grow. Give it time.Don' give them any ferts for a while. Durring the first few weeks, too much nitrogen can slow growth.
 
Thanks everyone, my first grow ended badly and i want this one to go well.
i'll just chill and wait.
hey floro, you took Maj. Potheads avitar! he might want it back. :)
good luck all, and i'll be cool

You can safely mix a 1/4 strength fertilizer now. It will help.

Are you under fluorescents? Keep them a couple of inches from the tube and you will see lusher and quicker growth.

Here are my seedlings day 6 after germination, are they this kinda size? I just gave them a 1/4 strength of nutes on day 5 and they're all going for it. Except the Twilight (has a tiny bit of burn) so take it easy :) and good luck
 
No Sammet not quite that big, but close. i'm on day 15 now and they look great, nice and green on about the third or fourth set of leaves just kind of small.
i dont think i'll fert yet, soon though. i have the fox farm "grow big" and i mixed up some great dirt for them so i think i'll just wait it out.
thanks everyone. i'll let you know if all is well. be cool
p.s. they are under 3 X 100 watt spiral comp flouros, seem to like it.
i have 48 inch t8 flouros waiting to go when they are big enough.
