hi, so she is 2 weeks today and growing really slowly my ideas are I live in central Italy and I was growing her on a terrace in a plastic pot, so it could be a overheating problem or she has a weak genetic what do you think?

Looks like quite nut dense soil for a seedling just coming out. Should be fine. In a week or 2 start govinf her some veg feed. Could be no ventilation through the soil, overwatering, how long are your days??

Ciao Susina! Is your 2 weeks including the germination period? If so, I feel your seedling looks like it’s right on track. When it comes to plants, especially early stages in life, think of an iceberg, we see the tip, but that’s only about 15% of what’s going on. The rest is below the surface. I know you mentioned you did not over water, and it doesn’t seem that way to me either. If anything maybe the plant could use a bit more? Hard to say without being there to see the medium but it seems like you have a handle of the watering situation. I just advise if / when you do water, do so only at the edges of the soil. It will naturally soak through the rest but promote the root structure to grow to the edges of the container and not just down, developing a wide and healthy root system. This will also promote the roots growth and ultimately, that 15 % we see on the surface right now. Keep us posted, will be happy to check on the plant with you every few hours as you do. Send me some dm. Good luck and happy growing.

I don't know how to answer @denge but over watering is definitely not the issue, also since I put her inside a couple of days ago I've seen a huge improvement (these six other small leaves). My terrace can get to 30/35 C easly around 1 pm anyways thanks for your answer

At 2 wks it's hard to tell as could be focused on roots . Humidity is normally key factor for seedlings until the true leaves stage. Could be gens. . See what happens by wk 3. When will really notice if not performing

I don’t think it’s over heating because my pots were also pretty hot last week in the sun and are still growing..I think your problem is over watering.. I water my plants only when the pot feels light. At the stage your in give around 0,2l every 3-4 day’s
