First Time Grower. Droopy baby leaves

It's my first sprout and I'm really excited!

I've noticed that her baby leaves are really droopy I don't know if the light is too strong or is the humidity is too high Cause I placed a sandwich bag which I mist over it.


Any idea what might be the problem?

looks pretty normal to me
you need to learn to step back or you will kill her with newbie love lol

don't spray it or do anything just give it time to grow
less is more so to speak
it needs no food and only low levels of light for sometime yet

too much fussing over-watering over feeding are the main causes of newbies having issues

Hey man, I dont grow in soil but it could be alittle water logged, make sure you let the girls dry out alittle before watering again, you can also probably leave the sandwich bag off unless you live where it is extremely dry, seedling generally cope pretty well without a humidity dome and you could be asking for mold problems.

No more dome to be sure.
And it doesn't look bad, but part tat soil dry out completely and get yourself a healthy root system.

few hours be a bit too eager still
give it 2 days or so for the true leaves to grow
see how healthy they look n take a new pic of it then

the soil only need be damp not wet
let it do its thing no spraying no more watering or feeding or fans blowing on it or anything you think might help it will most likely make it worse
it needs TIME thats all
it needs to develop the first set of leaves they will get bigger
then a new set will grow out the middle once it has a few sets of leaves
it will start growing a proper root system you got some way to go yet be patient :)

Looks a little like maybe overwating ish or just over feeding as the others say here they don't need feeding just jet Good luck

yeah you definitely overwatered. What do you have it planted in? The rule of thumb is when the container that you have you plant in is light, its time to water or when the leaves start to droop. Good luck.

Yep. Looks just like over watering to me. Do you have some type of drainage out of your pots? Couple small holes in the bottom would suffice. Patience is a virtue my friend :)

Soil still looks ultra saturated with water...

i just watered before taking the picture, or more like flushing not really watering.
yeah i did put a couple of holes down at the bottom.

thanks for all the comments!
really helpful people here.

cheers

She looks just as normal and the same as she did in pic 1.
And as for flushing, stop dropping water on it! Let it dry first.
