she looks a bit tall and stretchy to me.. what kind of light are you using (if any)? If she's just standing in the window, then this can explain it as well, as the amount could be on the lower side (depending on where you live) and low intensity of light makes plants stretch for it.. that the cotyledons are yellowing and dropping off is normal so don't worry about that.. are you giving any nutrients? If not, then at this point you should definitely start giving her light veg-nutrients (but don't overdo it, and slowly raise the amount over a few weeks). happy growing

Yes grown on windowsill supplemented with a SAD lamp that i found around the house. Got some proper bulbs ordered now and gonna make a little space box to raise them before going outside. The lamp just isnt strong enough so battling with balance of nature and tech. Im not giving any nutrients at this stage except i am adding in 0.5ml/l of biobizz root juice and has already used michorrazae. Do you think I should start adding some now then? Just I read that with using soil I dont want to overwhelm them with nutes. Maybe worth starting them on a light one next feed? Thanks for your reply mate!

Also noticed that the serated edges of leaves are starting to become more smooth and serated edges curling down. Could this be signs of stress or deficiency? Has just been started in regular soil so should have enough to keep her going i guess? Thanks
