Hi mksotun!
How far is the light from the seedling?
I'm on my first grow as well (same strain as you, just 5 weeks ahead) so I wish you good luck! 🌱
Try to not overwater (as I did 😂) and just be patient =)

This is my first grow so there will be some mistakes, I will be happy to hear your opinions and advices :)
The difference between first and second pictures is a week, but it haven't been changing for last 3 days at all, so I am afraid that something goes wrong. Keep waiting.(Day 1)
After answering to comments, I have decided to add some information for those who will read it for getting experience. I use a transparent cup with holes to keep high moisture around the seedling. I water the soil when it is dry in 2-3 cm deep, its about once in 2 days(not sure that this is good, but still), and pulverize it a bit every day to increase the whole moisture in box. Now the distance between lamp and seedling is 40 cm, but i want to put it to 20-25 cm by the end of the first weekend.(Day 2)
I bought pH tester drops to test the water. Its not very accurate and I am going to buy a digital one later. PH was 7.5 so I added some сitric acid to decrease it to 6.5. Also I have decided to put the lamp down, now its 25 cm above the plant.(Day 3)
Have not done any photos of last 2 days. During this time it started to grow really fast so I am happy with it. Now the seedling is 2 cm long.

@volfmanz,
I never water too often, the problem was that I used to water with 1L of water a 3.5L pot, this lead to a little issue: The soil needed 5-6 days to fully dry, so I just started (since week 3) to water with ~10% of water the total capacity of the pot (so ~0.3L) and now in 3-4 days the soil is completely dry.
About your light, I can see you are using a 125W fluorescent light, is this generating a lot of heat? If not, you can try to lower the light and see how it goes =)
A TIP that helped me a lot:
When you'll start to give more water, boil 3-4 banana peals and water your plant with the leftover water, is a good natural fertilizer for veg status :D

Hi there, you should not have more than 27 degrees, water it maximum 1 time a day and not that much water, just a bit do keep the soil moist and not wet.
Also use a transparent cup in the first 4-5 days of seedling stage to keep the moisture in.
Other that that i don't know what problem could there be.

@volfmanz, indeed, your approach seems fine. maybe it's just genetics, you just have to be patient and see how it develops. good luck mate, cheers 👍

@ZeroPro, thanks for advices!
I water the soil when it is dry in 2-3 cm deep, its about once in 2 days, and pulverize it a bit every day to increase the moisture in box. Transparent cup is being used already.
I hope that everything is fine and its just my paranoia😅
