11 day old seedling

Sup guys, I just started a seed about 11 days ago for the very first time in a rapid rooter plug. I transfered it over into my DWC bucket as soon as the roots started popping out of rapid rooter plug. That was Day 7.

I got a dual outlet air pump with 2 air stones in the bucket. The net pot sitting about 1in inside of water.

My main concern is... am I doing everything right? She looks a little droopy, and she hasn't really grown since I transplanted her into the bucket.

I tried to feed her some normal water by just pouring water near the stem, but I think that's what caused the drooping.. could I maybe feed it?

Any tips or advice would be great. Thanks, peace.

i wouldn't feed it unlit the very bottom baby leaves start to yellow, then I would start them on 1/4 strength nutes, light may be too close or too much heat causing the leave curl.

I am not a hydro grower but I don't believe in this whole no nutes for weeks. I would feed her a 400-500 ppm mix. I grow in soiless and I start in RR too. I have always gave my seedlings 1/4 nutes starting about day 5-7. This last time I did an expieriment and didn't fert them for almost 2 weeks. The seedling grew nadda in that time, i hit them with 1/4 strength nutes and they blew the fuck up. Like I said I am not a hydro grower so I would see what some hydro growers say as well but thats my 2 cents.

where is the rapid rooter in the net pot, if it is at the bottom sitting in the water that would cause it also.

Well I'm not sure about feeding it yet, because in hydro I've read a lot of stuff saying not to feed... but I will consider it, thanks. and the CFL is just a 23w 6500, pretty weak. Maybe about 1-3 in away?
The rapid rooter is actually not that deep at all, but I did soak the Hydroton rocks in 5.5ph water overnight + I think I watered it about 2 times by just pouring some water near the stem.

Soil is the best....I mean you get mad growth with hydro, but soil is natural....most people use chemicals when hydro....backyard, dirt, sun and your good....why you persons let others make things more difficult with ratio's etc etc...

That little baby needs to be under a dome and misted lightly two or three times a day. Cut way back on the lights and keep it on 18/6

By cut back, do you mean raise the light higher? and it's already on 18/6 schedule.
Could I use a gray tupperware for a dome? My seedling mat dome is only 2 inches tall.

I hope your not using any nutrients. I did not use any nutrients for first 2 weeks then 1/4 strength slow & steady in hydro. Check my grow some good information in there

I backed off on the lights and put my old humidity dome on and I have not fed her anything but water. but I think she might be really stressed... this is day 14 and shes still this tiny. Not lookin too good man.
