How much should I be worrying about my plants early on?

So, yeah I’m only on day 11, and I think I overwatered a few days ago. Noticed some leaves drooping, so I dried them out for a couple of days, and then began watering again yesterday.

I have two plants going. One has been around a day behind the other, and this is the one that seems to be less recovered. The leaves are still curling up, but there is still new growth.

I guess what I’m wondering is how concerned I should be about individual leaves when the plant itself is still growing. I figure if she’s still growing that’s what matters most, and I should just keep an eye on how the new leaves come in?

If you are already having issues at day 11 you might want to be concerned. What are the plants in? How much and HOW OFTEN are you watering them?

Was about to say it looked like heat or light stress. 77 is exactly where my temperatures are set. Keep an eye on them but try not to worry too much, it is hard at first.

ok, thanks. Yeah this whole thing is way more challenging than I thought it’d be, but that’s fine. I’m almost 33 and this is my first actual project, and I’m neurotic. Hopefully once this one’s in the bag the next grow will be a lot less stressful

I cover my seedlings with a bottle until they outgrow the bottle. Then I replace with a Gatorade bottle no lid or label. Once it out grows that It’s ready to be on its own.
