Does this look like overwatering to anybody else too

whats the temp of the water when watering, is this aerated water left for 2-3 days, straight tap/well/RO water?
is the plant like this all day or just before lights off?
i think it is to much water or lack of oxygenated water suffocating the root system.

throw a fan on it and should perk up and get some cal-mag and dose it for seedlings and lift pot and get used to that, "light pot needs water feeling", to keep from overwatering

also, might have it too far away from light source...or not enough light

It's room temperature when I water,I transplanted 2 days after last watering then watered again, it's tap water left to sit so that chlorine evaporates, and it's like it all day whether it's in the light or not

Alright man so you think it might need first feeding, should I do half dose orr? What do you mean by needs water feeling to prevent overwatering?

Dosent look like your saturating the whole volume of soil then running wet and dry periods so probably no to overwatering :-)

That sounds kind of right to me , the dirt it came from was like thick mud, I since put it in a soil mixture with work castings and perlite, I knocked most of the dirt off the roots but there still was a chunk around the rootball

Eh don’t worry about the little root ball as long as most of the roots are in the new dryer soil you should be good my brotha. I killed a lot of seedlings by watering to much or to often or not enough drainage. I really like the cococoir starter cubes. They drain real well and you can stick them into anything after even rockwool which I personally hate but some people love. Good luck my dude and keep an eye on that ph, oh also maybe consider getting foot root bacteria, if deff helps the roots stay strong. This picture is off my personal fav root bacteria, it’s got 15 different types in it.

When I water I soak the soil till you have it dripping then let it dry out till like 2-3 inches deep in the soil is dry some people only water once in 3 days so def think about your watering practices long and hard.
