She looks "basically" healthy to me. There are some signs of slight over-watering but it's not horrible and as your root system develops, this should begin to correct itself. However with that said, it's early in it's growth cycle and the plant is spending significantly more energy developing it's root system. She should be showing some major growth soon.This young lady is 16 days (since ground breaking) old. I'm a little concerned that she's not grown taller, and there's not much separation between leaves. I've not given her any nutes yet. Got 1 cup distilled water yesterday. Do I have reason to be concerned, or am I expecting too much too son?

Thanks for the input. There were 5 days between last night's water and the one before. I'll let it go a little longer this time.Overwatered. Let it get almost bone dry before you water again.
What soil ?
It's not 100% clear to me how big your pot is by the picture you've posted. If it's a small clay pot like the picture seems to suggest, then your soil would benefit by adding more course perlite. This doesn't mean that you can't use what you have started ... but it does mean you'll need to pay more attention to how the plant is responding to your watering patterns. Take a mental note of the weight of the pot when it's wet and when it dries out. The weight difference should be pretty obvious and will give you the signal as to when you should water again.Thanks for the input. There were 5 days between last night's water and the one before.

Not entirely true- bro science.I'm a new cultivator but I learned when the bottom round leaves turn yellow and drop off that's when u start feeding them. And very lightly at first. They will have a growth spurt very soon.
Conventional wisdom seems to say start feeding after 3 weeks, which should put me right around the mark you suggest. I've also done some reading that suggests that with organic soil, I should not add nutes. My tentaive plan is to start adding Dyna-Gro 7-9-5 next week. Any thoughts?I'm a new cultivator but I learned when the bottom round leaves turn yellow and drop off that's when u start feeding them. And very lightly at first.

Please elaborate.Not entirely true- bro science.
Over-watering will also cause the same to occur. A plant that small should not have already exhausted the nutrients in good soil. I don't start fertilizing my plants until I've transplanted into their final pots and given them time for the roots spread through the new soil available in the larger pot. I also don't go by a number of weeks before introducing a feeding schedule. My plants tell me when it's time, not the calendar. Once I start feeding, I feed low strength nutes all the way through my grow until the last couple of weeks. My ppm is always less than the manufacturer's suggested schedule. They provide an aggressive schedule that will have you back buying more.Please elaborate.
I've seen improvement over the past few days after nudging the humidity down. Had been running ~75%+ because I have seedlings in the same tent. Now I'm down to 55% and she's looking better. I'll post a pic after lights on this PM. When you think about it, high humidity has the same effect as overwatering, as the plant can't draw the water out of the soil, as leaves get saturated. It's probably even worse, as water coming in through leaves has no soil nutrients.Thanks for the input. There were 5 days between last night's water and the one before.

Im sure great airflow and exhaust will have great effect on the high humidity= overwateringI've seen improvement over the past few days after nudging the humidity down.

My high humidity was intentional, trying to give the seedlings a good environment. I've got 4 plants, ranging from 19 days (the one pictured) to 5 days old. I've been notching it down 5% per day with a target of 45%. Worried at first, but I'm actually quite pleased with my temp and humidity control. My temp gets into the low 80s from time to time (it's in the attic) , but runs an average of 75-78 (I keep,a detailed environment log) I think tomorrow will be the day I switch to a dehumidifier as I think I've hit the tent's natural level at 50-55%.Im sure great airflow and exhaust will have great effect on the high humidity= overwatering
The exhaust and airflow make sure the humidity is not stagnant air
I had problems with my temps recently
What brought them down was better oscillating fans at canopy height and a upgraded humidifier
Now I’m 10 days old
Organic mix
27c
Steady 70-75 RH
Fingers crossed plants are thriving, however I have like 5 fans

BINGO! So glad to get this input. I thought that might be a problem and I did back it off about 6 inches this afternoon.Back your light off like way back and watch her get happy and start growing. Like other have said let her dry well before watering.
More... what light Is it?BINGO! So glad to get this input. I thought that might be a problem and I did back it off about 6 inches this afternoon.
