Welcome @JayGrows , I would wait a bit longer with the nutrients since most soils contain a certain amount of fertilizer. For the first few days, the plants only need humidity as they already have their initial nutrients within them. Subsequently, the pre-fertilization of the soil should be sufficient for the first three weeks. After that, I would start with half of the manufacturer’s recommended amount of fertilizer and slowly increase it if they tolerate it well.

Your plants should be 2 weeks old now if I’m not mistaken. And since you’ve repotted them, they now have new nutrients in the new soil. I wouldn’t give them any fertilizer yet. At the earliest in a week and then at a low dose.
A picture would be good to be able to see it better.
What kind of fertilizer do you want to give them? Organic or mineral?

So I would say that she looks pretty good at the moment. I would wait at least another week to fertilize. What kind of light do you have, at what power is it currently running, and what is its distance to the plant?

Note the topic title.
I think there’s no lamp other than the sun. :wink:

My mistake, thanks @KilliczGe, that also explains the slow growth. I’ve had that twice this year too, first too early in the year and the second time it was already too late. As soon as they were in the tent, they continued properly. In that case, I would recommend, if desired, getting an LED lamp for support until the sun gets stronger. A 60 Watt lamp should already make a significant difference. What season is it with you right now @JayGrows?

Your environment should be about 80 degrees and 75-80% humidity. Your light intensity should be in the 200-400 ppfd range, measure with an app called Photone. Depending on what medium you used it may not need added nutrients for a week or more. At this age and size it should get about a shot glass or 2 of water when dry. Water around the plant and not the plant itself. Under these conditions you should see improvement relatively soon.

A small dome (plastic cup) for humidity wouldn’t be bad for now, as @Demonrage75 already mentioned. Do you have the possibility to put it outside where it gets more light? If so, I would start getting it used to it in about a week and then put it outside for two hours a day. However, not at midday when the sun is strongest, and perhaps initially also in partial shade to slowly get it used to it. It’s really bad that lamps are so expensive where you are. How about importing them?

We all start somewhere. I started in a closet with 1 light and no knowledge of growing anything, that was like 6 years ago. Now I have 3 tents, 8-9 LEDs, 3 HPS lights and numerous exhaust and circulation fans. Save money for a decent light, you get what you pay for. Viparspectra, Marshydro, or Phlizon would be good starter lights. I’m partial to Viparspectra. Do you have access to Amazon or similar app to purchase from? That’s where I would shop, local businesses can be more expensive. Good luck
