Droopy leaves is usually over or under watering. Water until you have runoff. Check that waters ph and ec levels as well. Make sure the ph is in the proper range for flower cycle. Make sure your ec hasn't creeped up to much. Cheers

Seedling curving down and turning pale green
The leaves of my two seedlings are curving down and it turns a little bit palw green. I think I overwatered the first days, but now it looks like the substrate is really dry (I didn't watered the last 2 days) but I'll wait a little more. So is it the problem or I miss something ?

Slow/stunted seedling, why?
One seedling is stunted, why? One of the seedlings is noticeably slower than the other, it’s leaves are curled under and there’s a brown spot on one of its Cotyledons. The other seedling is being treated identically and seems to be thriving 😕 (last photo)

First attempt, hard learning curve I fear..
First ever attempt, I’ve over watered a couple days ago and they’re looking very sorry for themselves. About a week from sprouting. Think a couple are a bit leggy and the oldest leaves seem to be curling down/twist res of the over watering? There is new growth but recovery pos?
