Babygurls hurting??

I recently had 3 lemon skunk seeds germinate and sprout, when the first 2 leaves had shown and start of the first 3 bladed leaves showing I transferred them into bigger pots of coco coir and under my 600w hps bulb. There is plenty of air movement and extraction, I have done it this way a few times and usually I get big leaf growth straight away, but for some reason my gurls don't seem to have grown at all since. Could it be their establishing a good root growth and that's why it's taking longer to grow or is it maybe coz coco had no nutes in it? I watered with a tiny 1ml in a 2 litre bottle of bio buzz grow yesterday since they are actually 2weeks old and had good bit or roots. PH is at 6 and temperature 90 degrees F. Any comments plz

90 is warm. Some strains will get used to it. My tent was reaching 95 a few weeks ago. No ill-effects on one strain. The others I could not tell you if the stress was caused from something else of high temps. No hermies, just nute burned/stressed looking plants.

There has never been any problems with the temp being at 90, hell it even hit 100 before during a grow and they were all good, though I have introduced another extractor fan to lower temperature. Temperature alone can't be the only problem here cos if it was too hot for them to handle they would have collapsed as I learned back in 2010, I have noticed a tiny bit of growth over that last 18 hrs, but it's just usually when I start from seed there is a new full set of leaves after a days cycle. Weed plants are far more stronger than given credit for. I found a plant that had been tossed into my local canal, floating upside down. I took a couple branches n took 14 cuttings just to see, granted only 2 rooted, but I got 2 plants out it n it was good lemon skunk, that's why I've gotten some lemon skunk seeds, it seems a tough sturdy plant, able to take a bit of stress n still be a good smoke

they are just trying to build a strong root system it happened to me when i switched from a solo cup and jumped to a 3 gallon and it took almost 3 weeks for my girl to start growing

That's what I was thinking, but with all the " trying to hard " I've changed tents n got them in a bigger tent with bigger fan under just 1 600w bulb, the temp is at 82' F. I have them in nute free coco coir, even though there's only the first 3 bladed leaves starting to come through, I should be able to add a tiny bit of bio bizz grow if they have established a good set of roots shouldn't I? They are 2 weeks old.

Got the temp running at 80-84f now, still not much going on, roots should be tough enough to cope with a small drop of nutes by now since they been growing for 2 weeks shouldn't they? Add the fact they were in washed coco coir with no nutes content. Your opinion is valued M8 as it's been yrs since I started from seed and everything used to grow so quickly, now they take forever??
