    Default Under watering?

    I've recently had a plant die on me, which I assumed was due to under watering. Am I correct in this assumption? I watered when I thought it needed it, which would usually be every second day. I also gave it a single feeding of a local nutrient brand(30-10-10) at 1/4 strength. Light schedule has been 24/0 for the past 3 weeks. Here are some pics.

    The second image is of 3 others than have been under the same light/feeding/watering schedule. Hopefully they don't die aswell!

    No one? I'd really like to be able to stop this from happening again.

    Pick up the cup to be sure you need to water it. They like a wet and dry period. Watering with a set schedule that you force yourself to stick to can cause overwatering. Which unfortunately looks quite like under watering in the leaves.

    The soil seems to get extremely dry rather quick, should I stick to the "put your finger an inch or two in the soil to feel for moisture" trick?

    If they soak up all the water too fast... time to transplant them.

    You burnt the shit out of it for one and 'every second day' with seedlings that size is over watering.

    You're loving them to death.

    Yep. Too young of a plant for nutes. Toast. Wait 3 weeks after sprouting before giving nutes. When it is time, give half strength and be sure of your measurements

    I gave it the first feeding after about 2 and a half weeks. Slightly after, I noticed a bit of wilting and gave it a slight watering in fear of over watering. The next day, it seemed a lot happier. That's why I believe it was under watering and not the other way around.I think my temps were running on the higher side aswell, so today I went out and grabbed a 4" desk fan to set up in there. As far as rh, it fluctuates from about 45%-50%.

    Does anyone see signs of lockout or any other issues related to pH? I haven't found anywhere locally I could grab a meter, and can't be bothered to waste money on a test kit when I plan on getting a meter shortly. I've been using RO water.
