Drooping seedling leaves

[slaboosh]

Hi, I woke up this morning and my seedling's leaves seemed to have slightly drooped. I've been watering around the base with a couple squirts of water a couple of times a day. And I'm using Jiffy Organic Seed Starting Mix. Also, I'm leaving my lights on 24/7. What should I do to prevent this seedling from dying?

stop over watering this way and check this out.

feel the weight of the dirt pot dry
now add 1/4 of the water by volume
feel it again, dont water until light again
water around the pot not at the base of the plant, she will be fine

Couple times a day?? Don't Love It To Death. And don't even think about feeding until it has REAL Leaves. Relax, it's a LONG ride.

When I look at the soil I feel like is just very dry and it feels dry. The water I put on it dries up within a few hours so I feel the need to water again.

You need to go with the weight. Roots go and find the water. That tap root is longer than you think. If you set up root issues early, the plant won't give you 100%

your plant doesnt give two shits how you or your finger feels, the soil as a whole must be watered, and only when the pot is light again, thats it, feelings dont play a part here. water allows organic material to be broken down by fungus under the soil.
the plant isnt sitting in the dirt waiting for a drink of water, its waiting for you to read these instead http://catnews.org/FREE Pot Books/

water once every 2-3 days with ph water near 6.5 fill water till its covering top soil and dont get water on the leaves as i can see in pic it will leave a burn its like a microfying glass so the light hits 2x harder dont think nutes will help or boost at this stage you most likely get nutelockout and i recomend with is a light schedual of 18-6 if your soil gets as dry like you say it will help with stress keep temps and humidity fine it will be a healthy plant if you think its to dry mist the soil with spray bottle with phed water

water once every 2-3 days with ph water with 5.8-6.8 fill water till its covering top soil and dont get water on the leaves as i can see in pic it will leave a burn its like a microfying glass so the light hits 2x harder dont think nutes will help or boost at this stage you most likely get nutelockout and i recomend with is a light schedual of 18-6 if your soil gets as dry like you say it will help with stress keep temps and humidity fine it will be a healthy plant

5.8 pH is a Hydro value.. 6.5 is for SOIL.
