There is a definite issue here. The leaf growth looks a little wonky. I would bet its something with the PH of the water in question. If you are truly running a ph of 8.7 this is far too high for proper nutrient uptake. Try to get it down around 6-6.2 and monitor the ph of the run off to get an actual read of the soil PH itself as apposed to the watering PH.

High there! It's normal for the cotyledons to shrivel up & fall off eventually. But it does look like your plant might be getting too little light (7 hours will definitely result in a stunted auto since their vegetative period is so short). Most growers do a lighting schedule of 24/0, 20/4 or 18/6. Might consider getting a cheap CFL bulb or two to supplement with after the sun goes down. Other than that, she looks good!

Hello ! Your cotyledons are yellowing a bit or did they ever been green ? I saw that in the past when the shell of your seeds takes time to get away so the less light exposed part are less green than the others and in your case you can see a "séparation line" between the yellow and green so I won't bet on any issues right now. The overall looks good to me but keep watching at the yellowing and if it spread on the rest of the seedling then it will be too late at that stage or will make you more time than poping another seed. Hope it will help you 👍😁

Hello @clmbs ! I don't think there was a problem. If it was a problem the cotyledons would never become green again. Maybe you were late and you didn't put it under the light as soon as the seed popped . Happy growing ! 👊

Hallo Clmbs, grüße zurück^^Das die kleine sich direkt verfärbt ist in der tat keine gutes zeichen, welche erde hast du denn genommen. Ich schätze mal , daß sie zu viele Nährstoffe für deine kleine hat. Ich nutze für samen einen "lightmix" also nur leicht gedüngte erde. Automatische pflanzen gebe ich einen mix also ich fülle den großen topf mit einem allmix odermit meiner erde und dann höhle ich aus nehme wieder erde raus und fülle das loch innen mit einem Lightmix.. so bekommt sie was sie braucht, je nach ihrer Größe ( zu sehen in meinem Diary mit den dark devils) Es ist ja schonmal gut daß du sie direkt in einen großen topf gesetzt hast aber ich würde dir raten einen lightmix zu kaufen ( oder anzuchterde) deine pflanze rauszuholen , erde ausheben, lightmix einfüllen und madame wieder zurücksezten. ich hofe das war einigermaßen verständlich und du darfs t mich gerne per pn fragen ( oder die andreen grower) happy growing

Hi @clmbs! We’re missing some crucial informations here: what’s your medium? Do you have the NPK ratios for this substrate? Do you check the pH and EC of your waterings? If so what are the current values? How often do you water and how much (volume)? My guess is that you over-watered the roots, it’s a common mistake with small plants in big containers. As a result, plant cannot drink all of the water and roots are suffocating, they can’t get oxygen anymore. Roots need to be on a wet/dry cycle to properly spread, searching for water. Each cycle should be pretty quick (24~36h) so you should always water with 15-20% of the container’s capacity. Never water with more than 25% of you pot’s volume. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

hey man you want to be careful with the outdoors, even then the soil can be a bit too rich, and the light too much for such a little seedling. Actually what probably happened is you over watered and the nutrients became a bit too available so that's why the leaves show that color. At this stage these should be pretty healthy (they fall off later). Just dial in your soil's cycle, and make sure you're watering a bit further than the seedling so that there's not too much of it. that should also encourage root growth ! Good luck rescuing this little one !
