Any other info man? They definitely dont look good.
 
You know the pH? How much have you watered? I'm not sure it's the lights but you probably only need 1 of those for a single seedling.

I have other plants in there as well that a bit bigger. Do you think moving the seedling to the corner of the side that has the lower powered light would work? As well as raising ng the lights up to 30in?

Okay, I raised the lights up to 30 and moved her off to the side. Hopefully things will improve. What should the my watering schedule look like for her?

What size of cups/pots are they in?

When they are newly spouted and sitting in solo cups ill just use a 10ml dropper or a whatever, they dont need much water. Ill slowly keep expanding how much they get until they start growing and are ready for wet/dry soakings.

wet/dry cycles when they start getting a little size, this is when i begin soaking the cups until runoff out the bottom....Then ill lift the cup and gauge how heavy it is when its fully saturated, then i wont water that plant again until its noticable lighter to lift. This allows the roots to do some work and explore and expand.

Best of luck
 
Like diggs said at this stage they barely need any water use a dropper or a spray bottle and lightly mist the soil once a day.

Lights are hung 28in above seedling. I’m running a Mars ts1000(150w) and a 1200w greengo full spectrum(250w). Temp usually hangs between 23c-26c with humidity at 45%

Your Mars ts1000 is dimmable. I dial mine back to 75w and keep at 18" for first 7-10 days after sprout.

I have mine I’m the same pots as yours quirk. I’ve always read auto flowers should be planted in their end pot. I’ve attached a screenshot with some info on it. I should’ve previously mentioned she was an auto

Never grown an auto, but watering a seedling in a giant pot is difficult, photo or auto.
Stepping up pot size doesnt stunt for more than a day if at all, done properly

What makes watering a seedling in a large pot difficult? I wonder if i am not doing it properly
 
Lvgrowing420 said:
right now I use a spray bottle to water around the plant

That’s going to hinder development of roots. They much prefer to be drenched and then go searching for more with their excess energy. If you’re in a big pot I’d recommend watering a few cm’s in a circle around it but enough to get it deep. Keep widening the circle of watering around the root zone as you expect the roots are expanding.
 
Roots reach for moisture. Fastest i can get it to happen is by watering the pot from the bottom. Then just water minimally around the plant.
The roots will reach pretty quick. Doesnt take much.. Just enough to soak up into the plant pot from a tray container or whatever
