Over or under watering?!?! help PLEASE

Hey guys.

The plants are being watered once a day for 2 minutes(the water level goes 1/4 way up the side of the 3 inch cube).

I checked them last night and they were looking good. I woke up this morning and completely drooped. Thinking it needed water, I fed it some water and I got home from work and it's still drooped. As you can see from the pics all the rest of the plants are doing very well at this water level and nutrient level, including the smaller runts!

So under or over watering!?

Also, theres no yellowing on the leaves.


Thanks in advance

under water with light stress,to save it you need to water it and put it in the shade till it regroups,it works so go try it...now...now...now. quit readin and asking questions and do it before it dies

ok, done.

Think the light is too close? It's about 20 inches away, with a fan going on it 24/7, light schedule is 18/6

ok good +rep.what type of lighting?lighting and fan is fine cus think about it at night in natur the wind still blows right.but put the fan on a timer at night to give it some time off to allow the stalk to thicken

yo, i would say overwatering and too much nutes. which is totally contradictory to your previous advice BUT seedlings/early veg plants don't need to be watered EVERY day and they certainly don't need supplemental nutrients. I'm not what you meant by two minutes but for your young plants, let the soil get fairly dry down to .5-1" and THEN water. leaves will droop when they have so much liquid in them and too much will turn the soil to mud and rot your roots.

well, im pretty sure now that it was under watering. I changed the amount of time they are watered by one minute the night before and i guess that was enough. They've also been on the same watering schedule for the last 3 1/2 weeks.

They are definitely not getting too much nutes. I know nute burn. I'm giving them less than what everyone on this forum is recommending. 1/4 at 3 weeks.

I loaded them into some grow rocks and pots so the roots can expand further.
