HELP.... newbie....

does my baby look ok....?? sprouted sat night...(23th)

Looks fine, don't overwater or give any nutes yet.

It's fine from what I can see, but why did you plant your seed near the edge of the solo cup? and what's your soil mix?

loads...... plenty drainage....

Soil + vermiculite would be a bad idea. Did you mix the soil yourself?

good, but potting soil with vermiculite is not a great soil mix for cannabis

if you can get a bag of perlite
I would mix 20% perlite in with a good quality soil that drains easy

dig in an inch away from the seedling and lift the seedling out with a spoon,
pot it up in the new soil

Can you take a close picture of the new growth? I think you have some problems in there.

Take your time my friend.

Oh ... I can see now. It seems that new growth is rotting away. Your seedling is overwatered and your soil mix doesn't look like a good draining medium for cannabis seedlings.

what the temperate level with the seedling

stick your fingers in the soil, is it dry or wet/damp ?
