Hi it’s looks like you doing good wait till the top of the soils looks dry and then you need to poor just little amont of water where the roots system are working you don’t need to make all the soil wet in the first week 👌🍀✌️

Water the small area aorund the seed and leave the sides be.
Can mist the side dirt to help keep it moist but the seed will expand and find its way.
It should not dry out to bad before the roots have a chance to explore.
Should it get bone dry. water it all but do it slowly as to much will drown the plant.
Best Of Luck!

Cover seedling for increased humidity?1. Does it make sense to cover the seedling with a cover (bottom of a plastic bottle) to increase humidity or should i remove it (e.g. for better air circulation)?
2. Should i switch on a fan that moves the air a little bit (pointing it above the plant)?Setup. Seedling

Why are my seedlings so leggy when they get enough light?I added pictures from 4 days after germ and wonder why my seedlings are so leggy (~5cm). I already filled it up with soil and they would be 10cm by now if I didn't. First 2 days was 12-14 DLI and since yesterday am giving them more light than many guides say: 250-270 PPFD, 18 DLI

Stretchy seedlings...worried!Hi, I have 5 seedlings on day 7. 2 of them are going fine but the three from ditch passion were very stretchy though. Likely due to having the light to far away. Take a look, any advise would be great. Cheers all!

Seedling leaves turning white, no true leavesWhy have my seedling leaves turned white? One of them sprouted 3 days ago and it’s first true leaves haven’t sprouted yet? I am growing in coco and perlite and watering with water and rhizotonic? Is it because I haven’t let the soil dry out and I’m watering it everyday?

Mould on seedlingThis seed was late to spawn. Now it finally opened, even if it's quite short on the soil. I can see a fluff of mould just below the cotyledons. What should I do? Can I save it or do I risk contaminating the rest of the plants in the growbox?

Semilla auto DOBLE!!!Una semilla auto me está saliendo doble. Primero vi como salieron 2 raices paralelas, y ahora crecen 2 tallos independientes. Ya he separado un poco los tallos que estaban un poco enredados. ¿Debería intentar separar ambos tallos por completo e intentar transplantar uno o no?
