Ok Great Thanks! Would the dryness in the leaves be from the low humidty or the intensity of the light?1. Your soil is too wet, don’t water again until it’s completely dry.
2. Your humidity is quite low for seedlings, if possible, raise it to 65-70%.
3. At a glance, your seedlings look a bit leggy, you might want to lower your light to 22-20 inches. Or, for more accuracy, you could calculate PPFD and DLI using the Photone app and 80 gsm paper. In the first two weeks, I’d aim for a DLI of 12-16 for my seedlings.
Good luck!

I think it’s because of the low humidity. In the first week, seedlings mainly grow by taking in moisture through their stomata. Higher humidity makes stomata open wider, and vice versa. Since you’re growing in a plastic pot and looking at your soil condition, you probably don’t need to water for about a week or so.Ok Great Thanks!

What dome? Or do you mean tent? If it’s a clear dome to cover your seedling, please don’t use it. Once the cotyledons pop up, they need full
Ya i was going to put a larger dome over the entire tray. I could add some containers of water to try and boost humidity in the tents. I'll have to wait on a humidifierWhat dome? Or do you mean tent?

Ok so here are my numbers with my diffuserOk Great Thanks! Would the dryness in the leaves be from the low humidty or the intensity of the light?
Ok, and i was able to up the humidity. I put a few containers of water in there on the heat mat so i Just hit 70% RH from 42% RHThat should be okay if you can't make it more higher. Let it sit for a couple of days and make changes based on the plant’s condition.
Overwatering for sure!!1. Your soil is too wet, don’t water again until it’s completely dry.

Okay, then let her do the rest. Basically, seedlings only need water through moisture, which they mostly get from their leaves. At this stage, her main focus is anchoring the taproot to the bottom of the pot. Good luck!
