Wilted leaves seedling

What's wrong with the leaves? They look wilted. Growth is very slow. I'm using a new nutrient for the first time going at 25% strength

Hey there ! Only one thing determines growth rate and that's VPD because it regulates the plant's metabolism. So you want optimal vapor pressure deficit, meaning in your case you want to raise the humidity to about 70% .... That being said there's something going on with the nutrients, quite simply you're seeing signs of nutrient burn, and also nutrient deficit. That's mainly because your pH is too high, you should be around 5.5-5.7 you're at 6.2 meaning the hydro nutrients are not getting absorbed correctly. If you dial these two/three things in the stress will go away and the plant can do its job. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Looks like too high of nutrient concentration. Check your ppm. Add more h2o and air. Light might be too intense and co2 as well.

Another vote for humidity. Put a dome on that little guy.

looks like it could be underwatered or overwatered. i see you are in hydroponics so as long as the roots are touching water or wet in general then it shouldn't be too dry. if the air supply was cuz off then it very much could have been starved for oxygen like when a plant in soil is overwatered. I would also double-check the ph of your water and make sure it hasn't drifted too far outside the 5.5-6.0 range. ph being out of whack can cause all sorts of issues with deficiencies and growth. Good luck!
