They are growing... but barely

These mother fuckers FINALLY started showing signs of new life, with a few leaves coming out the top. but they are STILL dragging their asses, they are now 2 weeks and 2 days old (the big ones just turned 3 weeks). should i just pull these cock suckers out and send a nasty message to Nirvana? I mean my bag seeds are blowing them away, along with all of my previous grows, this is completely crazy.

I know they are getting every bit of love they need to be successful, for all 8 of my plants I have 950w (200 from cfls,750 from mh), 3 gallon buckets with (75 organic miracle grow, 25 perlite) temperature has been perfect, humidity perfect. It's one of 2 things stopping them (my guess since these are the only 2 things that have changed since my previous grow), MIRACLE GROW ORGANIC or the strain???

MG organic is not the problem.

Are they really as yellow as they appear in three pics?

I'd keep them away from the 750 MH until they improved and grew another set or two of leaves.

How do you water them? Little seedlings are hard to water in large containers but it can be done. If you are "watering to runoff" like you do with larger plants, I'd guess your soil is staying too wet, too long. At that size I just give them half a dozen squirts with a spray bottle a couple times/day. Maybe a quarter cup or less.

Anyway good luck.

the slow growth you are seeing is from you staring them in large pots

yes sir that is a large possibility of their slow growth but I have started them off in 5 gallon buckets before with no problems like this, have you ever heard of a plant needing a month to go from seedling to vegetative stage?

Good advice thanks, no they are bright green, maybe it's my camera or because i just got done spritzing them.
The MH is a good 2 feet away, should I just take them out and cfl em? and this is the first water i've done in a little over a week, still too much? the bottom 2 first leaves are dying as they should for their age.

could just be the strand, I know when I started my white widows from seed they barely grew at all for the first month and then they took off like rockets
