Hey guys my friend has 2 ww female seedlings, there almost 2 and a half weeks from seed, they sprouted only 1 day apart. One looks very stout and healty, but the other one has very curved leaves and i see a small brown spot on one leave, and there is also a tiny purple spot on the top were growth is coming out of. I will post pics, hopefully we can get her back in shape, thanks for the help in advanced.

ps here are pics, side by side shots, pics of the good baby girl, and pics of the unhealthy lookin baby girl.

*NEWBIE ADVICE*

the drooping leaves seem to me, maybe a problem with over watering/under watering maybe give us a little more information on your grow so that some of the more experienced growers could help you out

GOOD LUCK

Make sure you have good drainage in the bottom of the cups you are using,. No nutes till you get a set of true leaves. Carefull of heat and overwatering when they are young.

the temps in the pc box were they reside are 80 degress, they have 2 pc fan for exhaust at top, and one pc fan for intake in the middle. How much should i be watering them ? Ive been doing it every other day, and misting tops if nessisacry, my room is very dry. So the tops dry out easily.

atleast halfinch holes on the bottom, water but dont let the cup get to heavy. Keep em cool and not humid in the grow area. From the pics they look awefully thirsty, id water them asap!!!

Probably every 3 or 4 days, use your finger and stick it in the soil, if the soil is moist at your fingertip wait another day to water. You want the soil to get a bit dry to get O2 to the roots. It's best to pick up your cups before and after watering to feel the weight diffrence, aftre a while you wont need to stick your finger in the soil, just pick up the cups and feel the weight.
I would give the seedlings about a 1/4 cup of water. That should be enough to get a good coverage under the surface and get them roots to growing.
