Auto Blue Cheese struggling in seedling phase

This is my first Autoflowering seed I've ever been able to grow, I started out with three seedlings. One germinated, the other never sprouted, and I don't even know what to think about this one. It came up with a thick stem, but it had trouble breaking free of it's shell. Now it's trying to develop it's second set of leaves. Can anyone confirm that this one's a runt, or is this normal for autos?



Thicc stem



For reference, here are the other (photos) planted at the same time.

What’s your RH in your tent? Maybe put a piece of plastic wrap over the cup to make a humidity dome and a more suitable environment. Leave it for a day or two and then check? I haven’t tried my hand with autos yet...this summer outdoors.

Anywhere from 50 to 90 at night, the humidistat in my humidifier is ~20% off so it's hard to get it dialed in

how about temperature and ventilation? too much ventilation can mess with shit, but you still want a little air bouncing those seedlings around

don't cover them dude. The moist environment will invite shit like "damping off". You want some breeze over the seedlings to keep the fungus at bay. Have you tried using 24 hour light since it's a auto. It will give it extra energy which may translate into more growth.
Anyway peace and good luck with the cheese. I get pretty sick of cheese when it's all I got but always miss it when its gone.

Barney’s ?

Barneys blue cheese, two fans, one oscillating one clip on. It hasn't grown at all really since the picture was taken. I'll try putting it in my 24 hour closet, but I don't have much hope for it's survival.

I know some people say don’t use a dome. But t helps keep humidity up. Mind you I shouldn’t be giving advice cause I get my seedlings to that stage furtherst and then they die.

My other seedlings are doing fine, all but two were planted at the same time, the other two are two or three days ahead, you can tell which. The little guy is a Malawi x Purple Haze, straight sativa and from what I understand it was supposed to take longer to sprout.
Middle one is the blue cheese, sad little blue cheese.
I have a humidifier in the room and at night it actually gets excessive, I think I can safely say the humidistat in the humidifier is broken though, from water (go figure) because for the past few days it's read 114%. Oh well that's what I get for buying at walmart.

I don't like the idea of covering because of FAE, I'm not sure if that's a factor but I'd imagine for anything you need a constant supply of oxygen. Maybe the space is enough for a seedling, I don't know but for now I'll just keep humidity up.
