Seedling Leaves are drooping rapidly

[Leovaldez]

Hello, this is my second grow and things were going pretty good untill I saw them this morning like this. I read that it might be under-watering so I just sprayed them. Any help on fixing and preventing would be amazing.

Info:
Grow tent
Lights are VIVOSUN 650w at 75%
Humidity is 50%
Temp is around 75 degree
Fox farm happy frog soil
Watering: light spray once a day, just getting the top of soil wet

Ok 1 lights are waaaay to juiced, 75%
Is waaau too much for the plant at that stage of growth
I never veg passed 40%
When you turn these lights up like that, OK the way that they work is that they phase in the reds in the blues as you’re cranking it up and you’re getting in that median zone for the plant and the stage of growth it’s at, At 75% you’re feeding it the wrong color because once you get past 50% that’s when the flowering setting start to kick in this is relatively the same thing all across the board with these LED panels that we use
So feeding that plant, it looks like it’s showing that it’s working its way towards a nitrogen toxicity whatever you’re using for grow I would cut that dose in half the time that you feed if you’re feeding already generally you don’t need to put into a soil grown baby like that until the end of week three just FYI, there’s enough nutrients supplied within seed to its stage of growth to veg.
So the way that I set my light settings and I’ve used almost all the lights that are available and some shape or form is that it doesn’t really matter what I’m running or what strain it is my flowering room and the flower bunker both have the canopy and the light ballast itself 30 to 36 inches I never lower my lights or raise them. They stay fixed, the lights we use are super powerful so in order to successfully grow I wouldn’t even be past 20% output with the stage that your little lady is at
Here’s a couple examples of light height and setting …..im never less than 30 inches.

Thank you so much, I didn’t even think of that. The PPFD rating is only 213 umol. Is that really too much?

Yes,
The whole balancing act is health of the plant versus your micro climate conditions. I’m also going to say this pPFD is wholly inadequate when it comes to these lights at the end of the day if it’s already stressing your plant as a seedling. photons it’s really not that great, you make diffuser, and hope that the paper used is the right thickness all to find out when you messed that up, end up with cooked well, done plants,
Also nutes, it’s a good general rule to start your nutrients at half the recommended
I always say that it’s much easier to feed a hungry plant that wants more grow than it is to feed an already sick plant due to toxicity and overdose while still having to get that back on track. The name of the game is to be not stressful to the plants as possible, even reg plants can herm, just takes a bit more wrong doing. stress equals potential funny business in the sex department.
Now, as far as your low reading on bb Photone, there are some really Sensitive strains out there they are not all created equal. This is one reason why I think that manufacturers guidelines for PPFD and light height it’s just crazy town because every strain is different dude. So you have to be Fluid with the equipment that you use as it applies to your plant sensitivities you don’t want to force it to do everything you wanted to do you want to be able to nurture its natural genetic traits or playing to its strengths and natural growth habits. Once you have these fundamentals down stacked and filed away in your mental toolbox. That’s when you start to go after a yield. You just want it in the beginning a plant that you harvest that you can end up smoking that’s super successful for a first time grower do that a couple of times and this stuff will start coming to you naturally the logic to a lot of it will start to fall into place.
