Dropping Seedling - First Time Grower

[Maker908]

First time grower here. Plant has been healthy after transferring for the last three days until the drooping today. I'm on at 18/6 schedule, 45-55% humidity, 72-78°, 1/4 nutrient schedule, proper light strength, and proper lightng distance. I know the pot is too big but I watering in a circle around the plant daily until th roots get fully established. I'm assuming the watering schedule I have been using has been leading to overwatering. Would I be correct with this assessment? And what actions or lack of action should I take?

Looks to be over watered. Water sparingly in a circular motion just wider than your plant. Plant width is a good indicator as to root span. That pot will drown your plant if you saturate it.

Agreed. Over watered and back off nutes for a minute

I concede. No sign of tip burn. Good. Yet no actual leaf stem to judge hydration. Bet this one will eat more than average soon.

I only say back off because it's over watered heavily and it's still a seedling basically. He also said hes been feeding at quarter strength. That things overdosed on nutes for a bit

Border line nute or water issues look too similar at this stage good call. I either drowned or fried them. Still frying a few on occasion. The OP has a nice plant. Just cut back and ask for help in a few weeks. It will be time to dial in nutes then. First 4 weeks it should be good in soil.

Thank you both for quick reply and the helpful information. I will slow down the watering. Should I alternative between nutrient and normal water or reduce nutrient strength?

Remove nutes if in soil. That pot should be good for at least the next 3. LOL.

It is in Coco Coir actually. So It does need to have some nutrients provided.

I would cut back to 50% then. I'm a soil guy now. But been here. I believe a steady flow of food and inputs is better than any spikes or valleys regardless of medium.
