Welcome.
Nice they took off quick! The smaller thinner one looks a little less green. Patches of yellow. Water farther away from the stem, dont overwater and they should be good

I did about half a gal between the 2 with most of it going around the edges of the lot just trying to keep all that dirt moist

OK Id give it no more about a week watching for stem droops. Itll show u when its too dry

But today was the first time I have done that before I was just doing small circles at the base of the plant

Stem droops?

Probably the wrong word I think petioles… Small stems that hold the leaves. Not just leaf droop but the little stem that hold it. Loses water pressure cant hold up the leaf

Like Jay mentions looks like the right path except watering near the stem, farther out makes the roots search, my little one just a small drink just to keep stable while the tap root gets established

My first grow! How do I no when my plants are in the veg stage And when do I top her I messed up on my last post saying these ladies were planted the 6th but they were actually planted mar 30

You are currently in veg stage. It’s easier to keep all questions in the same thread, it’s easier for others to see all information from the past.
Veg stage will continue until you change the light schedule, or unless these are autoflowers, will start to flower.
Welcome!

Can anyone tell me why my leaves are pointing upward and why the one plant is more yellowish color and smaller slower growth leaves are kind of patchy colored

Could be reaching for light. Your light is around 500ppfd 18" turned wide open for most of its coverage. Seedlings can have 300, veg can have 600. I dont know min and max but ILGM search will find them.
About the yellowing, needa get all the info on soil, nutes, ventilation and etc or else its a guess starting with too wet. Support ticket around

Fox farm soil general hydroponics flora series it was like a super pack came with 8 different nutes floragrow,florabloom,floramicro,koolbloom,florablend,floralicious plus and rapid start ventilation I have the mats hydro tent exhaust fan up top sucking air out and fan at bottom with vents open bringing air in and I’ve just been following general hydroponics feeding chart

Ok Id expect enough ‘food’ in the soil to bring them 3 to 5 weeks. If theyre hungry itd be because the roots aint taking up nutes. Too wet or when pH is way off. New soil?

You saying I should just restart with some new soil
