Nice seedlings. They look healthy. I just germinated some seeds. First time with feminized. They had a harder time growing than previous seedlings. And one of them looks like its struggles.

Pics of struggling one. The others look normal

Is this a sign of over watering or under watering? I don’t water them but every 3 days and it’s just getting worse.

I just took this pic, the drooping is getting worse. Could it be my light? I have the sf1000 but I have 5 plants growing. Should I get the sf3000? I have a 2x2 tent.
Yea, that's what it looks like too me. That ones and outlier out along your edge; and it's not getting enough light; all the symptoms there. long reaching nodes. My guess is also air flow perhaps, and general overcrowded conditions. Probably not transpiring much, so it's not drinking much either, is my guess.

Feel the heft of the pot's, is it way lighter than usual? Or is it heavy, and full of hydration.

Almost looks like sulfur deficiency starting to occur also; I would spray it with epsom salts; get more lighting; circulation if possible.

Yea, hard to tell for sure. Cant see it really well. sometimes when the shell comes off, it sticks on there. There's also an inner membrane under the shell that needs to be shed, like afterbirth.

So I generally spray them with a little water, when the husk is almost cleared, and wet it, then make sure all the afterbirth gets off the baby leaves. So it can pop open proper, and within a good timeline. If the seed doesn't clear it's shell by a certain point, it loses some energy.

That said, I think that just looks like perhaps some soil that's bit on the hotter side, or a bit too much light out of the gate. Too low RH during sprout can cause some difficulty also, should be 90%, ideally. It's a crap shoot, there's a few possibilities with this one.

Thanks for the reply frank :) good points. That one struggled a bit with letting go of the Shell. The Shell sat a bit too hard on it for me to take it off with my fingers.

Thanks for the educating response.

I will try and nurture it to health, I guess that one will be much slower than the rest.

You play guitar?
No, but lots of my friends that do over the years. I just actually carried a Squier Classic over to a friend who's dealing with cancer and brightened his day a little; his third instrument, he's got a Gibson and I think a Stratocaster up there, so this adds to the collection. I know it will be cared for properly.

I send him batches of potent cookies and usually a small part of my grows. I certainly try to share with the less fortunate, and help where I can. He might not survive; so I want him to enjoy some normalcy, he's pretty isolated; mother just died a few months back. An introverted recluse, basically.

This need to get this over there; but I don't dive much anymore. Trucks been parked for over a year now, and I don't feel like hauling it on the bus. Needs to be sorted; I'm a bad procrastinator these days.
