And the others aren't good enough , the cotyledon is downcast too(pic3 and pic 4). damn.....

When my babies are new seedlings I water with a spray bottle only.

That way you dont overwater. Keeping the top of the soil moist is what you want at this young age.

If you flood the soil pot with water they wont have any oxygen in the rootmass.

Look at it this way, You have several plants that have been exposed to the same environment and a couple are different. Could be many things but those guys pointed you in the right direction. I would think there is nothing you can do at this point but wait and see. My first grow I started with eight, ended up with four.

Second grow I didnt lose any.
I used nothing but distilled water the first couple weeks.
waited for them to start getting light green.

I would think you should wait a while longer before watering again.
Most of the time we just love them too much.

How long it takes? Well that depends on lots of things. What I would do is take another pic today and compare the pics. Then again tomorrow. I would think you would be ready then.

You should be able to see the difference in the plant. Then I would start with a small amount of water right at the bottom of the plant. Like a shot glass full, or like 20ml. What you want is humidity at the root zone. Not wet.

As they grow you add more water. Get into the habit of picking them up and getting an idea of how much it weighs when its time to water. Thats what I do when they are small.

Use caution though, they are very fragile right now. you dont want to get completely dry at this point. Its better to be a little too wet than dry right now. You could lose a seedling in a couple hours at this stage. Once they get a few sets of leaves they have there own moisture built up inside but now there isnt any.

If that hydroton is just on the top of your soil all its doing is keeping the moisture in by blocking the light. Its not helping right now.
