I am happy to say the seedlings have put on lots of growth and are soon going to enter the flowering stage. I was hoping they would get a little bigger, but for plants under a month old I think they look alright. I may have been under watering them at some point, but was very careful not to do the opposite and give them too much water.
But now I have increased the waterings from just a shotglass every 6 days, and now 2 cups every 3 days. So their water intake has greatly increased at this point and I think soon we will see them flower. Eventually each of them will be getting nearly a gallon of water every few days. But that is once they start building their buds in the flowering stage.

One of the four are already showing their sex, this appears to be a female. Those long stringy white things tell me that.
One of them still needs support, I think the reason it does is a mix of some very soft soil and the light being too far from them early on. As I was having troubles in my previous grows, I found myself dialing everything back.. water and light. So I think I may have brought the lights too far back, making the plants grow stringy and prone to falling over. Since then I have lowered the light to 25-30 inches from the tops of the plants.
I can solve this when they get tall enough to tie them to the netting. But for now a fork will do. That spot on the edge of the leaf is just water, I give them a misting a few times a day now as well to help them get enough water in them.
Looking forward to seeing if this one is a male or female soon. But yet to show its gender at this point.
One of the four was started later than the rest, seems the seeds I got have high failure rate. So I had to replace the plant and its a few weeks behind the others. Hope it catches up soon.
So tiny, but high hopes for it as well.
Since these are autos, soon I will see more signs of flowering from the females. And once they are all confirmed females, I will change the light to better help them flower. I will also raise the wattage from 600w to 1000w so we should really see them wake up around that time.
So far so good, hoping I get all females but with regular seeds there is a 50/50 change I will get males.. So we shall see.
