over watered, recovery time? +Airflow question

Newbie here, after my seed germinated I put it in soil that was too wet. It's now day 5 and the little seedling still looks like she did day 2. The top 1/4th inch of soil is dry, but I'll be waiting till it's more like 3/4th inch to water it (is that correct?)

Anyway, what's the recovery time usually look like until she'll start growing again? Should I just cut my losses and start over? And why do her leaves seem a little... blue? Is that normal?

Question 2: Last night she dropped to 66f for the first time, previously the low had been 68f. At night can I turn off the oscillating fan and exhaust so the cabinet keeps a little warmth, or is this a no-no? Is 66f too cold, or should I not worry about it?

Walmart sells a lilttle cheap heater. recovery time of over watering varies

I "till" my soil if I overwater. Gently lift and fluff no more than 1" deep with a small screwdriver or toothpick. This will aerate the soil.

I've been having same troubles, I've been trying to maintain a regular temperature in the room at about 72-78F when the lights are on. The temp goes down when the lights are off, but as long as it doesn't go below 60F I think it should be good. Like DandyRandy said, till the soil with a toothpick & let the soil dry out. It's been 4 days since I did that, I can see mine starting to recover, leaves straightening out & new growth. I told myself not to water for a week or until the plants communicate to me that they need water. Take the fan off it because it might be too much wind.

Okay guys thanks a bunch! I'll turn the fan off till she gets bigger. I had poked little holes into the soil for air, but I didn't think about tilling it, I'll give that a try.

Don't water until the soil is bone dry.

Force the roots to find water.

If possible. Goto the hydro store and grab some kelp blast extract.

It's like 2 bucks for a little pouch, just mix it with your water and feed next watering. Then sit back and watch them triple in size in a week.

I have some Grow More seaweed extract, will that work? I was under the impression that it was too early to give her anything other than water

I usually don't feed for a week or 2 depending on plant. They are all different. You want the roots to search for water and food.

Treat her gently young JEDi..... Let her dry, when she ready, you will know why....Soil has all the food she needs....... Less is more in the long term....
