Seedlings stressed

hey guys, just want your thoughts on this as ive tried to water every 4-5 days as i cant tell because the top of soil is always dry and dont want to over water, i had a low relative humidity but ive addressed that now, here is what it two bad ones look like.. one also had a white tip??

Setup: 300w LED 60 cm away,
small fan moving air
Humidifier (as of today)

Hoping it was the bad humidity and not underwatering/overwatering

Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

How big is that pot? It looks tiny.

Its 6cm x 6 cm x 100 cm

It could be in that pot for a while(depends on what its planted in)
Somtimes they wont perk back up after over watering

Just take it easy with em and they'll get gowing soon best thing to do is not worry about them make sure they arent dry for a week or 2

You definitely could repot but i would almost let it perk up and get that pot going with some roots before you try and transplant just my opinion

You think they are overwatered? I watered them yesterday around 50ml around the pot and it has made it worse i feel as they were only slightly drooping before that as i thought they were dry.

I plan to wait and see if they bounce back then transplant.

Cheers for your advice Cold ill sit back, wait and see I suppose.

The seedling stage can be tough even for old timers somtimes you got it sometimes you dont haha


Just stick your finger an inch or so down on the edge of the pot if its dry or the pot feels real light then you can water or just mist with water.

Once they take off though bud youll be flying

To add im mainly a hydro guy but i got a few years of coco and promix under my belt

Most of the time im in water of some kind

Yeah ive done a lot of reading, Its hard to find the right info like how much to water in Millelitres per plant in the first 2 weeks etc.

Cheers mate best of luck with your future grows!

A seedling that size would only need a shot glass full of water every 3 or 4 days, or use a spray bottle and mist the soil every day to just keep it moist.

Yes info like that would make it easy but youll get a feel for it after a decade plus specific to the ml growing is tough.....much easier just to write down how many mls you gave it

Thanks Capn Crunch. I have overdone it with the watering.

I wet an empty container until it was just dripping wet out the bottom and one that was bone dry and I used them as a reference point for my seedling containers, they weighed about in-between the two empty ones and the one plant that is doing okay weighed alot lighter than the other three that were drooping.

I hope they bounce back.

Yeah Its a steep learning curve! Hoping I can bounce back from this mistake, will be very careful with watering at earlier stages!

PH'd a small sample of the soil and it looked like 5 to 5.5ph, I want to transplant out of the soil medium ive got
