I’m on day 30 of my first grow and I’ve been looking at other people’s progress and I feel like they are a little behind should I be worried?

For 30 days yes they look small…really small. But they look healthy…

I wouldn’t overly worry but be sure to keep trying to maximize their light safely and fully saturate the medium every 3-4 days (2 if your in coco ) I had a couple runts here they are 28 days in then 2 weeks later

Dont know anything about autos, but plants in general always seem to have this starter period where they seem to grow so slow, and then one day boom…its like a jungle. Have always just assumed they need a proper root mass before theyre able to build at a fast pace.
I know with autoflowers youre up against a ticking clock, but a week from now they could be 25% bigger. 
Good luck.

Welcome to the community ! Healthy plants Looks like you may have topped them could have slowed them down a bit.

Welcome to the community Alaska420. A few questions, looks like you topped these? If so there’s usually a stall period with growth on some auto strains. I’ve had some stall and some never miss a beat. Is that 30 days above ground or when you dropped the bean? I don’t count the 1st 2 weeks in autos just like photos. I consider that a seedling period lasting 12-14 days. My veg clock starts on day 14 above ground. I top once I have 5-6 nodes and top back to 3 or 4, depends on the growth rate I’m seeing. Followed by a good feeding and a few days to recover. Then it’s LST time with bending and pinning the sides down. This training method will spread her out and expose the underlying bud sites normally covered by upper growth.

Personally I would say she is 2 weeks old and looking good, I would start some LST in the next few days. They look healthy and nice and green

Yep, I see good growth around week 3 above ground. I prefer to get my HST done by then, which you have. It’s all plant maintenance and care now

Right on, I would turn the plant in the 2nd pic a little more so both growth points face up. Looks like 1 side is facing up and the other facing down?? Nice job, it’s a daily routine now of spreading her out and pinning or tieing her down as she grows out and up to the light
