Yeah, you're fine. How often are you watering it? and have your recently transplanted it into a bigger pot?

It doesn't look bad but it definitely looks like its on its way to being waterlogged. I'd let that sucker dry out for a day or so. You want your leaves reaching for the light not dragging the dirt.

Put a fan on it, that will help.

Your paranoid :D Don´t want the rep....

She looks fine, have 10day seedlings some smaller, and some bigger than yours. Some more droopy, and others more "fresh than your". It´s within normal on the healthier side....

There is a fan on it, and the soil doesnt get moist past 2 and half inches so I tent to try and put as much water as I can in there when I do which is every other day, then I wait until it dries out and put some more in. I transplanted it a day and a half ago into a bigger pot.

You should be watering the whole pot. Partial waterings tend to lead to overwatering as the lower dirt is always more moist than you think. Not only that partial watering builds up salts at the water line. Flood the pot then wait several days. One watering a week is usually fine with babies.

Give her less, let her stimulate the roots a bit, at the moment the rootsystem doesn´t drink alot, mist her on her leafes once in a while, keep the soil humid, not wet, if she had a lot of roots when transplanted let her rest in shade for a day so roots will "search", and it would also benefit her to let soil dry completely so that she will strech her roots for water.

They need humidity at this stage, and yes, they are the same in chemistry, but what she doesn´t need now is too much water (you probably knew all of it, but hey, it´s a newbieforum ;) ).
