I wasn't sure if I was overwatering so I stopped and haven't watered since yesterday morning. Only some spraying of water right around the stem.. now she seems to be weak.. from the picture, can anyone telll me what they see? This seedling is definitely not thriving compared to others who are nice and plump, green and thick stems. I have a picture of a few days before. I will show ypu guys to compare.. this is now

Now this is just two days ago. notice how she was darker and thicker.. just looking healthier..20200424_155903.jpg

I've been hesitating to put my fingers into the soil nearby the stem cause I don't want to harm the roots.. Since it's such a big pot.. I wonder what's going on under that soil.. lol

One thing I'd like to note is that the texture of the leaves seems to become flat.. this happens to me constantly

How big is that pot?? Because i never seen or done a plant in a pot that big. I was taught from that approach putting them in bigger pots off rip causes stress. If you dont mind me asking it was just the spraying of water you do. If can switch to something much smaller because for that to work if not in door takes a long time for that seedling to grow. Hopefully i contributed in a positive way

Thank you, I put it in the big pot because it is an autoflower, so I wanted to avoid having to worry about transplanting it later on, I am currently just pouring about 50ml water into the soil
