Whats wrong with my baby?

She's about 2 weeks old. Everything was going well for the first week, then the leaves started to droop, growth basically came to a stand still, and the leaves began turning this brown/purple color. It seems like things started going bad when I took the plastic bag for humidity around the cup off. I took it off because I got some advise that I didn't need it.

I water her when the soil goes dry about a 1/4" in. Shes in Promix Premier potting soil, with a bit of organic potting soil mixed in. Under two 23w daylight cfls. Temps were a bit warm for the first week, about 83, for the last week I've managed to get them to about 79.

Just some bagseed I've got.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Hey bro common problems are overwatering at this stage, and from the looks of your soil it does look a little wet. I would let the soil dry out more or consider adding perlite when you transplant the seedling. It will promote root growth due to the aeration in the soil.

Hey man, thanks for the feedback.

The soil looks wer cause I watered it this morning. Also I try not to water unless it's dry about 1/4" deep into the soil.

Do you still think I'm overwatering?
