i think she is looking rather healthy. But from what it says in your diary, i would say that you are watering them a lil to much. i have tried making a schedule for amounts of both fertilizer and water expected to be used each week.. in my collumn for week2 i only water the plants 0.5l in the entire week. but on a daily basis of 0.07l daily. im sure my schedule does not fit all plants but according to your diary you are watering them 0.25l daily, which is more than thrice the amount i use..

usually if you are overwatering the leaves will look droopy and lifeless but yours seem fine Don't be tempted to over fertilise it as young seedlings do not require high nutritional feeds

Salut , ta plante va bien , elle juste besoin que sa terre soit légèrement humide , un bon taux d'humidité et une température stable. Ne pas.mettre d'engrais avant la deuxième semaine voir la troisième semaine si tu es en lightmix . Pour l'arrosage 25cl d'eau sont largement suffisant pour commencer .

The EC is too high for a seedling. You only need feed a pot with seed once with a very low ec if its coco. If soil an enzyme or root stim no nutrients to help break up other nutrients as N is been taken up too much. When the pot gets lighter you just feed then. Roots need 2 breath. So you can till the soil this will help air in and dry up helping the main root spread out.

Plant is looking good! You do not need to water to runoff during this stage and you shouldn't need nutrients yet. At this stage I slowly water in a spiral motion starting from the inside out, let the roots seek out the water. You can also use pot weight to know when it needs watered.

Su planta se ve feliz. Revisé su diario y lo que puedo recomendar es que baje algunos puntos su ph entre 6 y 6.5. Esto mejorará el color de su planta evitará caricias en el futuro. Saludos

Leaf-tips going droopy mode After my second to last watering the tips of all of the leaves started to droop a bit. I though it was connected to the night-cycle of my light, but it continues to worsen every day. However I only watered after the soil was dry too the touch? Is it really overwatering or else?

Purple petioles and cupping down So, after watering with root+ 1.3ml/gal and amino extreme 1.4ml/gal and putting in a light that is double the wattage from the one prior it seems they got light/heat stressed. The purple petiole color could be phenotypic as it's striated in the stem too but I'm not 100%. Help?!
