Vetsmoke85 First Grow Stealth Cabinet

What @carcass said.
I did the mistake of the dome a couple of grows, never ended good when eventually I removed them.

One advice I can give for most situations - do not overreact and jump into action :) she looks just fine.
Oh and stop watering her. I see wet soil around her again. You'll love her to death that way.

Haven't watered her at all. That's dampness from the dome being over her. Next pic that will be gone. I swear she hasn't had a drop.
 
I do appreciate the reminder though buddy.
 
Quick update. She's been looking a bit sorry for herself today. Grown a bit more and still a nice green colour but the first leaves have drooped down. Will see how she's looking tomorrow before I panic.

A pic is worth a thousand words :) seriously, upload one.
 
Lights are on now but I'll try and grab one in a bit.

Is that normal at this stage? I had a smoke and just put all the non tumble dryer clothes in the dryer and started hanging up the tumble dryer safe ones.

Looks like too much watering.

Weird. Maybe I soaked the pot too much before planting or it's a symptom of starting a seedling in the finishing pot? I fully watered the soi on Wednesday night. Think I waited 24 hours before planting the seed. Since then I only gave a light spray before she broke surface and the damp that came off the humidity dome I had on. I'll make sure I don't water anytime soon.
 
Planning on getting a soil moisture and ph reader tomorrow.
 
I second that, too much moisture. You said you soaked the soil before putting a seed in it. That may be too much. For example, I place my seeds in a soil as it is, and do not water for at least two weeks.

Probably have a winner here. Hoping she pulls through.
 
Just had a quick look and she appears to be lifting a little already. Will get a pic in a couple of hours. @Katins I'll have to try that next time.
 
My pot is 1 gallon, if you do this in a smaller one, might reconsider the two weeks no watering strategy :)
Anyway, store bougt soil, from my experience, has at least 15-20% weight in water. That is plenty for a small seedling to last for a while. I weigh the pot to monitor that, and when the plant is thirsty it'll surely let you know. But that would be no earlier than it shoots a third node or so. Again, this is for my 1 gal pot :)
 
Anyway, even if it does not make it, it is the best possible time for that :) you only lose a seed, and a few days, and now you know better.
 
Definitely. All part of the learning process.
 
She's certainly looking happier today.
