They look healthy especially the 1st one. Likely all growth is happening beneath the soil.

they look right on track for having started under CFL's. once the roots are robust enough, you will notice daily growth under a 400w hps

I let my lil ones dry out complety. And try to avoid over watering is the soil drying out maybe something beneath is not happening

really?? comparing to other peoples grow diaries they look ridiculously small for 19days !! also they are autoflowering as the veg stage is only a month does that mean in 11days theyll reach their max size? cant see that being very big !!

ok they are under a high pressure sodium bulb... so 2700k light? thats your first problem, get a white bulb, metal halide for veg, or go back to the 200w cfl. save the life span of the HPS bulb for flowering
next, thats a BIG ASS POT for a little ass plant!, so the roots must stretch and stretch to get nutrients, so yea its growing, just underneath the soil, not above it.
what are you feeding it? up the nitrogen a little i guess, and the micro nutes, but not much, again, thats a baby.

yeah it was in a tiny pot for the first 14 days and i transfered it to these larger pots as thee rots began to come through, currently feeding miracle grow and havent got access to a cfl anymore !!

Dont take offence but i'd ditch them and start again.

gotta stick with this grow because of time constraints, just wondered whether as auto flowering plants they'll switch to flowering even with their tiny size or will they jus keep growing beyond 30days until they're an adequate size?

Being Auto's they should start flowering as part of their natural cycle. In a bid to get things moving i would give them a good flushing, in the past ive run a shower head over the soil for a while and its jumpstarted growth.

do i just flush it through with water completely for afew minutes next time instead of watering? will it not drown the plants?

havent checked the ph level ive just let tap water stand for 24hours though that should be ok?

That what ive done in the past, it wont drown your plants. If you think about it hydro plants are constantly in water and they do fine.
