seedling in urgent condition, yellowing and droopy leaves: what to do?

I tried my luck at growing some Mary. I had 8 seeds that I've collected over time. Only 1 germinated. I planted her in a mixture of sandy soil and miracle grow. (about half and half)...At first there was problems because I had here upside down. Hours later I flipped her the right way once I found my mistake. She was doing well. At the moment, she has 2 'rounded' leaves, and 1 set of 'pot' leaves. She is maybe an inch tall. Her stem was growing all sorts of whichways, so I covered it so it would just be sticking up. She appeared to be doing good. I was setting her in the window, but I don't think she was getting enough light, so I set her on the porch and have been leaving her out there all day in an area that gets sun and shade. I brought her in yesterday in the afternoon because it was raining and I did not want her to get hurt. When I set her out this morning, I noticed that her leaves were dropping. The two 'rounded' leaves are also more 'square like' today and are yellow in color. I am not sure if she is going to make it. I try to give her just a little water from the faucet each day, just enough to wet the soil. Can anyone figure out my problem? I don't want to lose her if I can help, she is my only baby right now.

sounds like too much water should water deep once every few days not every day the plants roots need to breath

ok...how much water would you say a seedling (planted in a red 'party' cup) should get? how often to water? I was thinking that could be it, since I did just water it recently.

let it get dry not completely but let the cup get light then water until it starts to drain out the holes you do have cut in the bottom of the cup

yea, I some holes (make with a screwdriver) in the bottom of the cup. I've never watered it until it drained, but there was a wet spot where I put it. An addition note that may have effect, it rains ALOT where I live. Should I take it inside or cover it when it rains?

that's the only way you will be able to control how much water they get

ok....if i set it in the window when it is raining, is it still going to get enough light? I'm going to move her when she gets bigger (for obvious reasons), but right now I'm still kind of 'nursing' her...

Also direct sunlight may be a bit much for a young seedling, I never let them see real sunlight untill I know they are well rooted. And then I introduce them gradually to sunlight.

When watering: do not water untill the cup feels 'light' then give them plenty of water ( until you see runoff comming from the drain holes) then wait until the cup feels light again to water again. Over watering is a big no no when growing MJM. Seedlings also benifit from 'misting' with a spray bottle a couple times a day. ( Not too much as mold is a constant problem from keeping them too damp for too long) Foliar feeding with a very dilute nutriant solution is useful with some strains as well.

Good luck with your young un.

thanks...yea, I thought direct sunlight may have been too much. That's why I put it in an area where it also gets some shade. My dad was thinking that the window wasn't getting enough sun for it. At first, moving it seemed to benifit it. I think it may have been the water now...

RIP Mary-Alice
Maybe I'll have better luck next time.
