seedlings wont grow?? help

[caligrown11]

i germinated 7 seeds and they all germinated. i planted each one in its own separte pot. only two of the 7 are acctually growing. i have done the same thing for each of the 7 plants and i cant seem to figure out why they wont grow. i got the seeds out of different types of bud i have had so i was thinking that might be the reason

just keep the soil moist and wait, thats pretty much all you can do at this point.

they get plenty of sun and everything. it just seems like they are growing fine and then just stop i only have two plants now because i killed the other six seeing as they were three works old and not even growing their secound set of leaves. is this normal or is it just me? i gave them about a liter of water every three days?
i want to start about 10 more but i want to make sure i am doing it right this time because i want to get more than two plants out of a batch of 10. any advise on young plants?

what are the specifics on the (assuming soil) medium you are using?

did you have drainage for each cup?

it may be safer to veg your seedlings indoors for a month till they are more vigorous. Once they have a nice foundation of growth, then you can move them outdoors, starting with half days outdoors and half indoors so you don't totally shock them, eventually to 24 hours outside.

i am not sure what the soil is but i will check and get back to you about it.
as for the pots they were all planted straight into 2 and a half gallon pots. one plants per pot. i think i may have started them in to big of pots and not enough water was getting to the roots.

if it was up to me i would start them indoors but that is totally out of the question so is their any other option? would it be better if i started them in little pots or red drinking cups and then transported them into bigger pots later?

My plants do this EVERY TIME, no one on here was able to help me but what I do is add nutes at half strength and they get on their way like magic. You will hear from people that plants should not be fed until a certain node, I think people say 3rd or 4th because they have enough power or whatever to get that far on their own, but for me this is not the case and has never been the case.
