Yeah just needs to fill out the cube a bit more to see some rapid growth the first week I'm the old pots

Try this it normally works

Germ and don't move for a week
Then give another week in the bigger cubes
Then transfer to a pot fella

It takes time, from the time you transplant until the plant (this case seedling) starts to send out roots from your starter cube. Once the roots emerge from the starter cube it will start to establish root in your new medium and then it will start to take off. If it's been 8 days, you should start to see some kind of signs of growth with in days 9-14.

Normally most people tend to let them get established by a week or a little longer before transplanting. So due to the age of your transplanted seedling it could take a little longer before it actually starts to take off.

The plant is on track its a tiny seedling not a clone its only got 2 little leaves. Though if its a pretty pure indica it will veg much slower than a sativa seedling so if you got a pure afghan do t expect much in the speed department there...

Its looking healthy pretty soon you can give it a littke more food and it will take off but be patient overfeeding easily kills seedlings.

You could try starting plants in rockwool cubes. Transplant the small cuve to a bigger one and when it roots the big cube put it into your system. Thats what i would personally do, going seed to system like thet. I grow in susbtrate based hydro so i dont have these kinds of problems but if i did thats jow i would solve it
