Slow growth

Please can someone help me with my plant. It’s in day 17 and still very small. I overwatered the plant for the first 12 days. I have the diary on my page. Please not that the calmag I’m using is homemade with Epson salt and eggshells so it can lack calcium. What should I do?

Hi... I've had similar issues twice, where it turned out there was root damage after germinating in a paper towel and then transferring directly to soil. I use a root riot/peat puck nowadays to check root development more easily - one a plant is in soil it's more likely than not that you don't want to disturb the root but there's obviously an issue here. The first time I had a stunted growth at this stage, I watered the soil until it was a little crumbly and then went to repot the plant and visually, the root was just a small stump with no tendrils. The second time, I asked a friend to check on it, he gently dug around the soil at the base of the plant and it just fell over, once again a small stump for a root system. That's just from my experience which is limited but I now monitor growth carefully at germination (paper towel, root riot, then soil) to look out for such issues. Anyway, take care, if this one doesn't grow, the next one will :) Later

this plant is to young to have any nutrients at all and should of only had h2o at this point you can probably save her but its going to take some nursing along. first off ph ballanced water nothing else ! get yourself a spray bottle and start using that to gently mist the soil to keep it damp NOT WET during seedling stage . mother nature has supplied your seedling with everything she needs except light water and TLC. ph your water good luck nursing her back to life . it is possible

Stop feeding her nutrients in this stage! Let her grow till you see a defficiency. You maybe not only overwatered you overfertilized her. Throw her away, start again. Your harvest will be much less more from this sadly unhealthy plant. In 3 weeks she should be the 4-5size in overall
