Seedling Showing Droopy Leaves After 12 Days – What Am I Doing Wrong?

[drz0n3]

Hello everyone,

and thank you for this amazing community where I’m learning so much. This is my first grow, and after following the forum for a while, I finally managed to start this fantastic adventure.

My seedling has been growing for about 12 days now, but I’ve noticed this issue. The leaves are firm and turgid, not soft or limp. The color looks good, but after reading through the forum, it seems that this could be a sign of overwatering.

I’m watering only when needed with about 150 ml of still mineral water, plus Root-Juice and Bio-Heaven.

Unfortunately, I can’t manage the temperature very well. It peaks at around 29°C and drops to about 26°C during the dark period. The light schedule is 18/6. I’m using a Spider Farmer G3000 currently set to 50% power and positioned about 70 cm above the plant.

Humidity is consistently around 75%, and the VPD stays between 0.9 and 1.1.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Everywhere I saw that overwating is the most common problem, that I have to water only when dry, etc....are you sure?

You're reading about soil you said that you're using coco?

Oh, no! Sorry, I'm almost new to the forum. I compiled by mistake these field. I'm using pre-fertilized soil, mixed with perlite (about 20%).

Is there a way to change the data i inserted by mistake (Coco) ?

It's not a big deal bro i don't think you can edit it now anyways, i don't grow in soil but if i were guessing I'd guess the soil is bit rich with being new?
Im sure someone will chip in that grows with soil, good luck.
