if you mean the small round leaves that came out first then you have no problem. The plant uses those as food to survive for the first couple weeks If you mean the first set of "real" leaves then the previous advice for feeding is prolly correct. What do you mean by "Should I put them under hydroponice even at 6/7 inches?" Did you mean High Pressure Sodium? (HPS) If so I put my babies under HPS when they are just a few inches tall. wa
