I am 100% sure I’m either over or underwatering. The leaves are drooping but the stem is stif. Soil was dry to the touch like 2/3cm down. This would indicate underwatering, but the leaves seem full of water, not crispy. Please help

At this stage the roots system isn’t developed and deep enough to catch the water in the bottom. During the seedling stage and beginning of Veg the soil must be kept moisturize on the surface all around the stem. Growing Auto’s is a bit tricky, their life cycle is too short for transplanting and you must start seedlings in big pots right at the beginning.

When they are this small and the soil seems dry when doing the finger test than feel free to evenly distribute enough PHed water to get the top of the soil wet all over. Don't need a lot of water, just enough to get everything wet. You want to avoid splashing any on the leaves if possible. Usually they will curl their leaves down if they have too much/too little water or are cold.

looks overwatered to me. just lift the pot. if its heavy its overwatered, if really light, its underwatered. A plant being that small has no good root structure yet so you have to water just tiny bits. until roots are developed and then SLOWLY increase. with a fully developed root system u can feed around 0.8 of the pot volume it is in. like 4l pot this means 3.2l of water AT MAX when the plant is big and the root system developed. we all did this, some never learn but you will. keep on growing bro!
