Seedling problem. Stagnant for week

Hello! I’ve recently painted this seedling early Dec and she emerged around Dec 2nd but for some reason it’s been stagnant for weeks!

It’s a photoperiod, I’m using FFOF as soil, Ac infinity S33 running at level 10 for intensity.

She turned yellow and began to droop last week, not sure if I over watered or under watered… is this seedling still viable or should I just give up?

Temps run 77 lights on and 66-68 lights off

Humidity 65-70 VPD @ .9

This was a freebie, purple sunset x lilac diesel from ethos
 
Taken today Dec 22

There should be enough naturally available nutrients in the soil to last a plant that size for at least two months. Judging by the color of the soil in the photo it looks like not enough water. Without enough water the plant has a hard time drawing in the nutrients plus the micro-organisms in the soil need water to do their job.

That is what it looks like at this point and without us being there it is hard to say if it can be saved.

Raising the temp a bit will speed up metabolism and help recovery. Closer to 80deg day and 75 night temps.

I was thinking that also. But, even those couple of degrees will mean more water evaporation from the soil.

I’m not gonna lie, I think what caused it was me spraying it at least once a day but I stopped that for a week by now.

I seen the comments about raising temps, will this still help it recover?
 
Relative humidity would mean raising temp will have a relative effect on humidity. Adding 5 deg of temp will lower relative humidity by 3 to 4%. Were you misting the plant to get 70% humidity? If you are at 80deg with 70-75% humidity you wont need to mist them.

In the pic she needs water but that has been covered.
What is your lighting setup? Wats, dimmer setting and distance.

Currently the light I’m using is the AC infinity S33 which pumps out 280watts according to their website

I just put the intensity back to 10 after. I noticed it stretching after I put the intensity to seven for the day. I did the seven just to see if it’ll stretch and it did stretch so I believe it’ll be OK but I’m new so I’m not too sure!!

It’s also about 22 inches away from plants. I have a mature plant in veg so I don’t really wanna burn her with the light

But I was misting the plants just to water them honestly I got too excited.. After my recent watering though ( with a tiny bit of run off) i noticed some growth within my struggling seedlings. I honestly thought I killed em by damping them off but the stems aren’t squishing
 
misting them won't do it. you have to actually water or feed them.
 
You have the dial turned all the way up to 10 at 22 inches with that light? That is more than enough light for a seedling. With that much light she will be drinking more. You should be watering every couple days. If you have a fan that can just barely move the plant it will help respiration and help preventing dampening off.
