Seedling leaves are looking droopy. 2 days ago I found it like that and watered her thinking that could be the issue but havent improved. In fact looks worse. Not sure what to do... maybe i did overwater her?

Hard to say. When did you take the photos? At night, the leaves sometimes look like that... What about the light? Are ppfd and DLI okay? I’m not exactly sure what a 400W HID brings at 85cm. RH might be too low. 63% is, I think, rather borderline at that stage. Those are the first things that come to mind. Like I said, it's hard to answer because there’s no history with the plant yet. 😜 Happy gardening my friend 💪😎

If you control the rest somewhat, then it will be overwatering. A common reason for seedlings to look like this.

Thank you so much for taking the time and the various answers @Terp1! I just realized I can post questions directly in the diary. Next time ill do that. That photo is from last night. But its been 2 days like this. When the light comes up the leaves are still down. Regarding PPF, im not sure, I don't have a PPF meter yet (ill get one). I read online that 400 HPS should be at 40cm from the plant. I left it at 80 cm because it was heating quite a lot (above 28 celsius), in fact the seedling stretched a lot so I believe they are not receiving enough light. Thats why i thought this was maybe due to overwatering (and not excessive light). Ill increase the humidity and see how it goes!
