I'm new to fabric pots and not sure what the hell is going on? The soil isn't stating wet-wet so I don't think it's overwatered? I watered the last two days a decent amount around the plant not the whole pot. They still look like this ( in picture ) so not sure what to do? Wait a few days to see if they bounce back? The leafs are droopy and I was only watering about every 2 or 3 days. Their around day 13 or so and are so little. Idk. The cotyledons also went yellow which seems early. Well, any input is appreciated

Watering - every 2 days or 3
Water - 6.8
Soil - Foxfarm Ocean
Light - Vispectra 2500 at 30 inches - 55% power
Nutes - no nutes used
Strain - Northern Light Auto and Trainwreck Auto from Royal Queen Seeds
Temp - 80
Humidity - around 65

These are the days I watered. I believe the plants sprouted on the 18th maybe a few days later. I wish I recorded it. The plants look small for day 14 or so.

no need to mist the plant with proper watering pratice ...

root grow and expand faster than you might think ...

moist the damn whole soil until a little run off at the time of transplanting the seeds after germination ... this will activate microbial life in the soil and this way roots will always find water as they grow. then you shouldn't need to water for a week or so.

then you could water with half amount first watering for a few weeks, i usually wait for the top layer of the soil to be dry for a day or two before watering. until plant get big enough then you restart watering with the same amount as first watering at that point i usually wait for the bottom leaves to drop on most pheno to set my watering frequency for flowering.

root don't like either permanently too wet or too dry soil. what's important is proper wet dry cycle for the roots.

i alway remoist gently the whole soil of the pot when watering the first weeks and concentrate what remain of water in circle around the trunk of the young plant.

can't say for sure if your issue is under or overwatering ... overwatering could be watering too often with small amount of water maintaining the soil too moist around the roots.

I'm going to space my watering out more. I watered more often thinking my soil was getting drier more often than when I had my plastic pots. The soil seemed drier but maybe deeper down it was still mosit or wet? I'm also thinking about trashing'em and starting over...not sure . I got another trainwreck germinating so going to start that soon. I'm going to put that in a plastic pot.
