First-time Grower - Need some help

[growbabybig]

I had 2 seeds received from a friend of mine and from the lack of experience I planted them both in the same pot(I'm thinking this is a bad thing). Plants are 5 days old and I don't know if I should transplant them now into separate pots or let them grow a bit more. Does transplanting slow the growth in this stage? Check out the photo and tell me what you think.
P.S. : I keep the pot on my balcony.

well you prob need to put them in there own pot but you can prob wait at least 2 weeks before doing it

i agree they do need their own pots but at this stage you have 2 - 3 weeks

Well iv germed this way before, just put seeds in one big pot then transplant them. But dig them out now with a spoon, this way do roots are disturbed, so not stress at all. Just get under them when their dry so to take the clump of dirt which its in and put it in your soil ready, new pot and your good.:thumbsup:

i had bout 10 in a pot smaller than urs for 2 weeks and then i transplanted but i used my fingers to dig em out go deep scoop under and gently pull up they all look fine now :jointsmile:

Well I tried to scoop them out , but the soil kinda fell apart and part of the root became visible. Did my best on placing it right. It's been a day and half now and they look fine.

thats good man did ya put some rocks or anything in hte bottem of those pots for good drainage if not when it comes time to trans plant them into bigger pots make sure you do that and you might wanna invest in some perlite to mix in your soil will help with drainage and help get air to the roots and less worry about root rot

Uhm no... Just flower soil from the gardening shop. But I check everytime too see if it's not too damp.
My babies are now 1 week old(including germination). I guess they look healthy. What do you guys think?
Oh and one more thing. My friend has also 2 babies growing , same strain as mine. We both planted them in the same day but there seems to be a difference. Mine have bigger leaves but they're kinda shorter , his are taller but have smaller leaves ( check the third photo). Should we be worried about anything:question:

Does your friend have his plants outside, or in a window sill? It looks like possibly your plants are getting more direct sunlight, which is a good thing. They get too tall and are not as strong if they don't have enough light.

Yours look good. Just let them dry out before you water them again.

yeah tell your friend that his plants are stretching bad he needs to put them somewhere where they will get more direct sunlight he will be lucky if the steams dont snap if he has more seeds tell him he may wanna germ a few more seed or maybe someone with more exp can give ya some better advice
