Misting the soil or the actual plant? Obviously the soil because the light wouldn’t burn the plant with water on it correct?If you don't want to put a lid on them then keep misting often and regularly.
Haha that's why a lid would be better imo. Umm with lighting that should be really low too. Basically you can't push in any kind of way until those roots set, no pushing with nutes/lights/co2. I've had touch n go clones that took two weeks for the roots to set (I was spraying the leaves to keep them alive, if there's no roots the leaves can still draw in water). Basically getting you humidity up asap will make life a lot easier on those plants for a couple of days. Right now is crucial, the longer you wait the longer it will take for roots to set. If you're unsure just check it every so often.Misting the soil or the actual plant? Obviously the soil because the light wouldn’t burn the plant with water on it correct?
You can’t dig a seedling up, most of the root structure is (was) microscopic. Its a seed and dirt FFS! Just needs water and warmth. Better luck next time.I got impatient dig around. 1 seed the root was about 1/2 inch and brown. The other seed 1” and brown. And the further along one about 3” mostly brown. The soil was wet all the way to the bottom. In a last ditch Hail Mary I attempted to transplant to a drier batch of soil misted top soil and misted wrap and covered. Good news and after 7 days my 4th popped out out of the dirt. Even with a humidifier I can’t get the humidity above 50 with lights on. I don’t have any of those nutrients mentioned although I’ve read numerous articles the benefits of kelp. So that’s on my list of things to get

I grow in a sealed tent, which is pretty easy to get RDH about 50% but even still I'll always cover my clones until the roots are really going.
Ok I’ve got another humidifier. Keeping lights on the 18/6 schedule. The current environment is 73 and 66 RH. Lights at 36”. Haven’t watered just 1 mist on the cover and 1 on the soil to keep environment moist, distilled water. Would it be safe to remove the cups? I’m scared I’ll suffocate them if they stay on. And is there a humidity that’s too high? Like I don’t want to go over 70 or 80? Thanks for your help.
Just burp em like you do when curing. It'll only be a few days hopefully. What you're waiting for are those true leaves to grow out. Photosynthesis won't really start until then, which is why the lighting isn't important for the next few days. That one with the yellow true leaves coming through is really touch and go. Right now those tiny little cotyledons are the only thing keeping them going so try and not disturb them and if you smother them too much, can be deadly for them.
I reckon all your problems came down to the first few days...to have 35% RDH on day 1 is what set it back but it's easily avoidable in future. Right now you're getting things back under control but I still stick by my initial recommendation of keeping a lid on them for another day at least with as little disturbance as possible. It's kinda like a patient in an ICU, if you've applied a treatment or surgery the only thing you can do is wait, trying to operate or give more treatments to them is usually always a bad thing.I’m not sure how I am making this so complicated. I had a new seed break the ground yesterday. This morning it looked great. Now it’s leaning over doing exactly what the other 3 did. The top is dry but it’s really moist all the way to the bottom. I haven’t even watered. I just sprayed the top of the soil and sprayed my makeshift dome. Is the dome soaking the soil? The tent is 77 F with 75% RH so I removed the dome. I feel like this seedling is dampening off like the other 3.
This literally can not be this hard and I’m fairly certain I have the mental capacity to do this. I’ve literally watched people grow in tents planting seeds in dirt spraying a bottle 3 times with a tent humidity of 40. Am I over spraying?
