Think I overwatered my seedlings. They are only a day old but have drooped and gone unhealthy colour. Is there a way back? What can I do to save them. Thanks

50/50 split with you @go go kid . Zoomed in that soil looks a bit moist. I agree with how you'd handle it for sure though. What do you think @Halebop ? How's the soil around the base?

I think it's overwateted because it's brown underneath leaf. I thought it as dry earlier so I added more water

what soil you growing in, looks very light brown, my organic soil is black. just interested.
and just dont water for a few days, it doesnt look too overwatered or seedling would suffer, thats short n squat, healthy looking.

TBH it looks OK to me. Let it dry out a bit and then aim to keep the medium moist, not too wet and not too dry. Keep checking how heavy the pot feels, you'll soon get the hang of it.
