Droopy plant! Help ASAP please

[Jwr210]

Hello. I’m not quite sure what’s wrong with my seedling. Its about 8 days old. She’s very droopy. Is it too late to save her?

Have you given it any water? Usually seedling doesn't need water after planting for a week or so if soil is moist when planting.

Have you given it any water?

Yes, I just watered last night.

If your seedling wasn't droopy before giving water and going lil yellow, you gave too much/too early.

Damn. Anyway to recover from that?

If I was you I'd try weight of the cup now, and then just wait until cup seems really light before watering again. You can also try with your fingers if soil is dry up to your first knuckle, but be careful as such young seedling can easily trip if you shove your finger too close to base.

i dont like peat pots, for anything. they take forever to dry out, and i'm convinced they influence the ph the seedling is dealing with.

i know there are some that do great with, and swear by them, but i see way fewer of those than i do effed up seedlings in a peat pot.

What is that soil?

The bud I smoke isn’t as dry as your soil.

The soil looks pretty dry. Looks like it needs some water
