Hi guys and gals, absolute novice grower here from the UK and it’s just a query about whether my 3 day old plant is healthy or not, the leaves have drooped( cotyledons?) is this normal behaviour or is my grow already doomed, sorry if this has been asked earlier FYI it’s a Do Si Do auto if that helps

So it sprouted about a week ago, should it have more leaves by now ? It looks healthy (to my untrained eye) but I’ve seen pictures of others grows that had more leaves at this stage IMG_9279.jpegIMG_9278.jpeg

It'll get big, patience =) keep humidity up it'll help. Looks healthy only thing I would say is be careful letting water pool up on the leaves under the light as droplets can act like a magnifying glass and burn the leaves. When I spray ill do it during lights off or dim the light until leaves dry.

Yeah indeed spray the medium not the plants directly

Sorry for the bump but a bit of an update on my first ever grow, Do Si Do Auto and it’s been a 5 weeks since planting and I think she’s looking ok to my untrained eye, seems to be sprouting new leaves every day, fingers crossed folks IMG_9339.pngIMG_9340.png

To be honest, I just feed her when the medium feels dry, is it beyond repair now and should I start again ?

You're treating coco like soil. Never, ever let coco dry.
You should be feeding at least once a day to substantial run off using a pH around 6.0 and never use plain water.
You can straighten out the plant if you do this.
Good luck.

Not sure why “ new growers “ automatically jump on coco …. Practice some simple gardening techniques eith a simple bagged “ soil “ ( potting mix ) just like a houseplant or tomato plant.

That way you simplify the grow - reduce goof ups and dial in . Start with basics first - always.
