Looks like a standard over watering issue, my friend. Medium is saturated by the looks of the picture and the seedling symptoms are screaming "No oxygen". With any of the girls showing these symptoms, I would back off watering heavily and localize anything you give 1-2 inches away from the stem. With your water saturated soil, you can gently till the area around the seedling to get aeration to the soil and help disperse all that extra moisture (Top 2-3 inches). If you mix in perlite or the like along with the tilling, this will expedite the process and the moisture will dissipate faster. If push comes to shove and water retention issues continue, consider moving the girls in the plastic pots into fabric, as well. I'm personally done with plastic as I had constant issues with soil-water retention regardless of how much I conditioned my soil. Fabric is the way to go, and if you make the move now it'll save you some stress in future. Trust me.... (Or air-pots. Also higher aeration but fabric is cheaper). Anywho, good luck. Everything will be okay and I hope you know that👍. This happens and isn't the end for them. Keeping it in this saturated state will eventually kill her off though... Couple tweaks and some conditioning and all will be well. Cheers and happy trails.

Hi @Niceguy1280 your plant has yellow leaves because the substrate seems soaked, the roots need oxygen to grow and feed, this will block your plant's growth. it lets the substrate almost dry between waterings, it only starts to give fertilizers as soon as the second pair of real leaves is born. any doubt send me dm .good luck 👍

Hello, Tout cela ne semble pas trop mal parti 😃 Je ne suis pas une grande experte mais comme dis plus haut, j'aurais aussi utilisé des contenants plus grands (11/13L). Si tu es dans la semaine 1-2 de "végétation" tout semble normal, n’hésites pas à arroser suffisamment et lui apporter un petit engrais de croissance type "terra grow" de Plagron jusqu'à l'apparition des pistils mais attention à faire seulement un arrosage sur 2 voire 3 avec engrais. Donne-nous des nouvelles des tes petites, bon grow à toi! 😉

Good Morning, Not a swamp / not a desert is a term the book I read said. A rule of thumb a more experienced grower told me is 1/10 the size of the container. I myself am growing in 7 gallon smart pots, watering every other day, 8 cups of Brita filtered water. Which seems to be working well. Granted, 1/10 of 7 gallons is 11 cups, not 8. Keep the soil moist and you should be ok. It’s nerve racking for sure. I’m on my first ever grow also. I’m 9 weeks in. Have made mistakes but learned from them and that’s the important part. I’ll be interested in other growers answers.
