Technically it's a seedling when it unfolds. Yours show one set of true leaf. Seedling!
Accepted is second set of true leaves then start moving lightly into veg.
If they are growing well, shouldn't be more than two weeks. Prolly a week.
it's a technical term that you can look up. it is not about opinion.
Don't worry about labels such as this. Simply react to what you observe.
Either it shows a need for fertilization or it does not.
Either it shows a need for more light or it does not.
Cause and effect is more important than vocabulary. these sorts of distinctions are important to get the gist of, but some of them are more arbitrary than others, this being one of those cases where the vocab is irrelevant to actually growing the plant.
some plants need a lot of light in seedling stage to avoid stretching and others do not and might even get stunted by it, so these terms do not 1:1 correlate with proper behaviour, therefore not too useful to worry about.
There is a bit of nitrogen toxicity but haven't given it any NPK so my guess was probably PH switch so on Friday . I gave her water with few addictive with PH of 6.0. The soil already had all Mix and biobizz worm cast so my hope is give it few Bio bloom and top max and few addictive in the bloom.
No..........issues may be due to excess salts in your re-used soil mix.
Tip burn on new leaves can be a sign of over feeding, damaged lower leaves are indicating soil problems.
Foliar feeding twice a day is not useful either.
Parameters for growth look fine, hmmm, oxygen depreviation of rootzones, oxygen itself is kinda like a nutrient in that it needs to exist in the rootzones in order for the plant to perform photosynthesis.
Your soil has no perlite or anything thay would give it the air pockets its needs, soil looks very grainy and fine meaning top watering could compress the soil especially if you blanket feed.
Leaves look wrinkled and fat, wayer it building up in leaf as it's not being released efficiently through transpiration.
Many reasons this could happen but if I had to guess I'd say it's a breakdown in water movement. Big plastic pots with little to no oxygen pockets to play with.
Right off bat you need a pH possibly a ec reading to get an idea of where she sits, worst thing you can do is add more salt minerals until you know it's not ph or rh.
When transpiration becomes crippled wayer doesn't cycle if it doesnt move from the plastic pot it will stagnate causing eventual salt build up if you continue to feed, what goes in must come out.
More moisture is going in than is going out, most likey due to a breakdown in water movement.
If you had a super dry arid environment and needed a way of retaining moisture plastic would be a option. You run 80F+ in a pot that's unable to breathe. Moisture will only uptake or evaporate, evaporation is not a option for 90% of your pot.
This is more critical in warmer climates because at higher temperatures water holds less dissolved oxygen (DO).
The newer growth looks fine to me.They're best withdry cycles but don't oush it too much as you will get some dry back on the roots which you obviously dont want.
