seeing the droopiness maybe its overwatered...

yeah, i've made one of the drain holes in the bottom big enough to put the tip of my pinky into to see if there is any moisture in the bottom of the cup now. and im waiting till it's dry at bottom before i water again. i think im going to wait until the day after it is dry to water. im still trying to figure out the right water schedule.

I'm using the same soil, loaded with nutrients. I was recommended not to start with it because it might be too strong for seedlings but it looks like yours are taking just fine. Good luck!

from what i have been told it seems like a good soil, you dont have to feed it nutrients for 4 to 6 weeks after transplanting it. im up potting in a few days im going to put in some mycoriza, and when i water it, the first time after transplant im going to give it some wormcasting tea.

do you use peralite as well?

looking a little droopy again right after watering this morning. i last watered it saturday morning 11 a.m. i checked this morning (monday) at 9:35 and it was dry at the bottom of the cup, so i watered it. i checked the little hole i have in the bottom to make sure it was dry all the way. the first pic is from right before watering this morning the next is right after and the last which is just a few minutes ago and perking back up a little again. Am i still watering to much even when i wait till it's completely dry?

You need to get into a bigger pot or you’ll need to water multiple times per day.

ok so last night after i wrote this and before i went to work. i went down to check on my plants one last time. i checked the hole in the bottom of the cup to feel if it was dry and it was. however when i dug down a half inch on top of the soil it was wet. this makes me wonder if the fan i have blowing on it is getting air to the bottom of the styrofoam cup and drying it out. it sits on a drip tray with channels grooved into it to let the water run off, and keep your plant about a quater inch from touching the bottom. so yesterday when i said it was dry even on the bottom it might not have been in the middle. also should have my plant drooped and curled like that after watering it? im still trying to figure out if im overwatering it or not.

It needs transplanted to a bigger pot.

 

[Fuzzy1981]

if you do think that its overwatered. should i wait until it starts to droop a little to let me know for sure it needs water and then transplant it. so it will be watered in it's new pot.

 

[Fuzzy1981]

alright i'll do that today then. if it's still wet should i wait to water it in the new pot?

 

[Pennywise]

I always water in a new pot.

 

[Fuzzy1981]

alright im going to transplant now. i'll try to take some pics of the root system so you can see if it looks ok. wish me luck

 

[Pennywise]

You got this!

 

[Fuzzy1981]

ok i did it, the roots were damp but not wet. i also got a picture i'll upload in a few minutes after im done watering. im going to water real slow to let it get even coverage.

 

[Pennywise]

Sounds good.

 

[Fuzzy1981]

ok i added in 2 table spoons of myco. one table spoon after filling the pot evenly an inch deep and the other tablespoon in the hole for the plant i also sprayed down the roots with p.h. 6.5 water and sprinkled myco on that. and in the water that im currently adding to it i put in essential plus 1-0-1 at half strength 15 cc when it called for thirty. holly shit does this stuff stink! so now i water it until about 20 percent of the water i put in comes out into the run out tray? also should i let it set in that run off and if so for how long?

 

[Pennywise]

Ever let it sit in the runoff.

 

[Fuzzy1981]

ok so don't let it sit in run off
