How old is your little plant, you aren't feeding it inside the first 3 weeks are you? Faris you know your little plant is too wet quit arguing with yourself on that issue. It is fine to start a seedling off in a large container as long as you have the balls to let it dry out. Hey buddy you are checking the plants regularly for insects, right? I am not saying I see signs but I am just saying check. Look at the bottoms of the leafs.

P.S. If you keep the planter that wet you will have gnats and probably rot but you definitely will stunt growth and cancel nutrient uptake. MJ likes it dry so you are sooner to kill a plant with too much water than by letting her dry out an extra day.

they look fine,when they get legs under them they will take off,the tap root will hit the bottom of pot and there she goes,just keep in mind its a babies and water around the plant not near the stem ,use a spray bottle on stream and feed around it,when you hit bottom then you can continue to water whole pot,you will no when it hits bottom,it will gladly show you,just dont kill it by damp off
