I have a three day old seedling that was doing wonderful until this morning when i woke up to find her wilting i haven't watered in a day or two because I'm afraid of over-watering but i gave her a drink about an hour later her leaves turned up towards the light which is a florecent tube light and the light is on a 24 hours a day please help. here are pictures.IMG_20131116_160240[1].jpgIMG_20131117_132312[1].jpgIMG_20131117_132308[1].jpg

looks like she saved mate, leaves lifting up or 'praying' is a good sign, shes turned her leaves to receive the best light. She looks a bit stretched tho, repot her, youll be amazed at how long the tap root is by now. Down to your preference tho. some pro growers move from a smaller pot to bigger pots gradually, some plant seed straight into the final pot, alls works fine tho, its a 'gardeners' personal preference

All my cheese seeds did the same thing. I think you will be alright. Replant them so most of the long stem is under soil.

I like to do 18 hours of light to give the plant some down time and ease off on the electric bill. Looks like the plant was just reaching for a light.

Yeah it's not wilted. It just got too tall too fast. Your light is too far away. Replant the seedling and put dirt all the way up to the cotyledons, then put your light way closer. Cfl I assume?
