First time grower, does this seedling look ok? First true leaves looking short and slightly curled. Seed popped last Thursday 1/14. Using buildasoil v 3.0 and watering two shot glasses worth of water ph 6.5. Just want to make sure I shouldn’t be doing something else.

Two shot glasses of water next to the plant is nowhere near enough water and is a futile growing method. Try watering the entire pot until there is water coming out the bottom of the pot, so that the entire volume of soil is moist. Your plant could already have a 2-4 inch tap root, which means 2 shot glasses of water will in no way be enough to get down that deep. Take a look at my diary "cannabis conundrums" to see the root system exposed from a 3 week old seedling and this may give you an idea as to why deep watering is essential. At this time, your seedling is surely seeking moisture desperately, as indicated by the unhappy leaves. Think what happens in nature, rain falls and wets all of the ground, it doesn't just land a few drops next to the main stem of plants. This is how plants have evolved to function. Having that much dry soil surrounding your seedling will prevent root expansion and make nutrients unavailable due to nutrients being water soluble. Also, the soil, if it dries out too much, will lead to the soil microbiological dying, further reducing nutrient availability. After giving your plant a good drink, she should look and become a lot happier. In future and after the soil has been fully moisten, try not to water again until the top inch or so has dried out, then deep water again and then wait once more until the top inch has dried out again. This should become your watering guideline. Watering until water runs out of the pot also helps prevent any build up of mineral salts that come in via nutrient solutions, from building up to excessive amounts. Try and aim for an evenly moist pot, not too wet and not too dry. You will have to experiment a bit until you find the "Goldilocks" zone, but once you do find it, maintaining it will become second nature to you. Hope this helps,,,.... Organoman. Please let me know if this does not improve your plants health, although I am sure it will, and I will try and find another solution for you. Cheers.

It looks ok. Normally the first set are not leafs. So they are tiny . Normally curly abit. sometimes even all retarded looking haha would not worry . Don't over water at this point . Just make sure the soil stays moist.

It could be too much water or just a weird seed—- it will probably go out of this stage with a minor stunt. Good luck

Hoi! Ik denk toch iets teveel water. Waarvan de bladeren naar beneden krullen. Een jonge zaailing heeft echt niet veel nodig. (gewoon wat vochtig maken rondom de stam) Het is beter om dagelijks een klein beetje te geven, dan om de 2-3 dagen teveel bijvoorbeeld. De korte steel is goed, beter dan een steel die lang en gestrekt is. U kunt uw lamp altijd iets hoger hangen. Veel succes met groeien!

Looks ok, just starting it's main leaf development it looks like. Nothing can be done at this stage except environment control (humidity 60-70, temp 20-25°C) and watering sparingly. It might be just fine!
