Have you ever seen something like this?

Make sure it's not just the top soil that is dry. Best way to evaluate when they need to be watered is by how heavy the pot feels. If you have another container that's the same, fill it with the same medium and you can gauge it against the one with your plant. When the plant pot feels as heavy as the non watered one you can give it a little more water. That day 9 photo looks like it got way more than 15ml. Good luck.

I don't think cannabis likes espresso.
I wanted to be clear because in USA cups for coffee are huge :lol:
I transplanted the plant on Friday and the soil in the pot was totally dry. I moisted, with about the same amount of water as above, the soil of the area in which I've placed the coco pellet. The pellet was moist but not wet because, as you said, it was way lighter then how it was when I've planted the seed.
I water the seedling with small amount of water once or two time a week depending by the case.
This seedling looks incredibly good being born 7 days ago with only one cotyledon and no other leaves. Even with deformity in some leaves is growing fast and not showing any other problems. ;-)

Hi everybody, the seedling is doing good, costantly growing.
I have a question about the second seedling that it's growing slow and also showing some signs of, I don't know, burning?

I can tell you three things:
1- the lights are the same I've used and I'm still using with the other seedling. Furthermore I can tell you that I kept the seedling, which was the subject of this thread, closer to the light... more than I'm doing with this second one and never had this problem.

2-I haven't used any fertilizing becouse the coco pellet already have some nutrient and the soil in the pot it's 33% humus which is full of good stuff but not to the point of make any harm to the seedling.

3-Before you say that the poor seedling is drowning, let me tell you that it's probably the opposite, because repeating me "too much water, too much water..." I think I might be under watering this poor seedling because the soil is god damn dry from the bottom to the top. I've just added maybe 20 ml of water when I transplanted the pellet to stop the soil from crumbling while I was digging the hole for the pellet.

She died. Never grown, not even one mm. No idea why, she was born perfect. On the other hand the one that was born almost dead is kicking ass now...

RIP. Sorry for your loss. I wonder if it was related to something Mohican had issues with in post #7. I'm glad to hear your other plant is flourishing. What kind of seed were these from?

The seed are both Royal Critical Auto.
To me the seadling died becouse I've kept the soil too dry for too long...it was intentional in the way that everybody continued telling me "too much water" "she is drowning" so I started giving her less and less water...but really the problem was that she wasn't drowning, it looked like so because in my pictures the soil was dark but it was dark because, to expose correctly the green of the seedling, the soil was underxposed and looked darker then it was.
That is my guess...don't know what else can be because she had same coco pellet, same soil ,same water and same light as the one that now is doing fine.
The only thing I did differently was watering the seedling, the one that now is beautiful and healthy, differently. I watered it almost every single day since she sprouted. I wasn't drowning her, i was just keeping the coco pellet moist as much as I thought was right. I'm talkin about 30-40 ml of water almost every day becouse with the heat of the lamp and the fact that the coco pellet dries up quickly, the soil became pretty dry pretty quickly.
