That is the cutest little seedling ever! :D

I don't usually pot mine up until they have at least two or three sets true leaves, but as long as they're stocky enough and survive I don't think it will be a problem.

As far as size goes, I would say they are on track. Mine are about a week old now, and just have cotyledons. And if they are on the smaller size right now, that's okay. The grow so fast!

Looking good!

Where did you get your pots. I like the different colors. I got the dark green but that's all my supplier had. Your seedlings are the same size mine were at 3 weeks so your doing good. Size depends a lot on variety.

Whew! Okay, just checking, I'd like to be on track for planting outside in about a month.

taz: I got them from the never ending gardening source called "my mom" :) Sorry I can't tell you where though, I believe she just keeps the pots we get from our local nursery when we buy the plants rather than grow them from seed.

Alright, update time: they're six weeks old now and though they've grown some, they're still so little! This is especially true for the pineapple tomato seedlings that are barely an inch tall and haven't grown at all in the past two weeks. It looks so funny since they have a few sets of true leaves but they are so short. The other varieties range from two to four inches tall. I keep seeing everyone else's beautiful, big plants. I can't help feeling like something just isn't right and I'm concerned they won't be ready to transplant out in a month!

Might be either a temperature or nutrient issue. What are the local temps like?

At 6 weeks mine (6 different indeterminate types) were 4-6 " tall, and at least that wide, so yours aren't that far behind. If they look healthy I wouldn't worry about it. What you want right now is good root growth more than height.

Cute wittle seedling! :)

I have the same thing going on - some plants are big and some are tiny.

In my case, I think it's a nutrient thing, because my space is quite warm. I haven't yet fed mine.

Funny, I am wrestling with the big plants, feeling like I started them way too early, and then begging the tiny ones to grow!!

Thanks everyone--yeah, I'm thinking the medium I used to start them in was a bad choice. I wanted to stay 'organic' so I used an organic soil-less mix but it sounds like everyone is frankly having better luck with miracle grow slow release fertilizer mix.

I fed them a very weak organic fertilizer at one month and another weak miracle grow one last night.

Now my pumpkins on the other hand...maybe I'll just become a full time squash gardener :)

The temperature stays around 66 degrees but it hasn't been that warm consistently, (I'm in college and we're trying to save money on bills!)Hopefully they'll just self correct. Austinnhanasmom, I feel your pain.
