Look at my AK-47 at day 12. Remember they are autos.

I just was harding them off for outdoor this summer. They were under a small t-5 from sprout. Good luck

Starting in used soil shouldnt be an issue unless you used a shit ton of liquid nutrients meaning salts. Starter soil doesn't require much, seedlings get everything from their seed case needed for up to 2 weeks. Only thing they need early is a good environment, small amounts of water, and to be left alone. I use a weak light to sprout so mine generally stay under a dome and wont get watered until like day 2 or 3 from sprout then just a table spoon of water. If I don't use a dome and stronger light may need a tablespoon daily. Once I have to water a tbls 2ce a day I'll water 2tbls so on and so forth until I'm watering pot to slight runoff daily then it's time for transplant.

I wouldnt worry about it then man as long as your watering practices are okay as mentioned when light. I run a agrobrite 8 bulb t5 with eye hortilux power veg bulbs, plants do grow slower under those lights. T5 needs to do all but touch plants literally. 12inches away from light is all florescent is good for

Why are they bent like that, are they sitting in water?

Last grow I was slacking on the transplanting and fell behind on two transplants. 16oz>5 qt>15qt So I've eliminated the 16 oz cup but replaced with a one day peat pot. I don't like putting the sprouted seed directly in a large pot like the 5 qt. But next grow I'll do a side by side.
These pics are after the Fimm. I took maybe 1/4"-3/8" off each.

They always stand back up have to pinch daily rather do that than tie and keep adjusting ties. I dont train often when I do that's my preferred method. Also when done properly once healed itll leave a knuckle, as we all know those knuckles allow for more water and nutrients to be pulled and used for that growth
Watering from the bottom helps fill the pot with no more water than the pot can take also helps root growth. since pots drying from top down allows roots to follow water source to bottom of pot
that auto getting transplanted is 21 days. ( 3 wks ) also the same one pictured above in previous response
With the water just dont let them sit in it for over 24hrs without removing from water and allowing to dry. You can waterlog roots by letting remain in constant water. did this to some strawberries from seed i started in those same pots. Almost took them out but finally started growing again. I make homemade wine hoping to make some fresh next year, small gallon batches. Damn lemon tree coming up in the strawberries tho need to remove..
