Does anyone know why my seedling is drooping like this? I thought I must be over watering but it's not had a drop for a week now and still no improvement. It popped through the soil 14 days ago and it's under a 130w CFL.

Thanks

over watering is the usual suspect when leaves get droopy

The cup feels bone dry? Iv not watered to run off once on the seedlings and this is the only one that's drooping like this

My guess is it got overwatered at some point and got stunted. Once they start looking like that, they don’t just bounce back once the water is reduced. Something happens to the roots due to lack of oxygen.

Did you rinse and pre charge your coco?
Have you given any nutes?
Your seedling is way behind in growth for 14 days old.......probably due to lack of oxygen in the root zone.

No I didn't rinse or pre charge my Coco, I haven't given them any nutes, I was going to on the next watering whenever that is

Coco basics:
Feed daily to run off in veg using a pH around 6.0........twice a day in flower.
Never give plain water.
Never let the coco get dry.

I have been pH my water to 6, what should I do now as my Coco is dry but I don't want to feed at the moment with the condition

Personally, I would run a weak nute solution pH'd around 6.0 through it.........and start feeding daily to run off.
Here are some 14 day old plants in coco that were fed daily......for a comparison.

Upped my lights from 130w CFL to 250w MH and given some light nutes and this is the difference in 48 hours

if your using pure coco you cannot allow you medium to get dry EVER. it favors overwaterers usually but it can backfire pretty heavily. always amend and add nutrients to coco before planting and ti will prevent the stunting going on. id recommend trying some Nectar of the gods one shot and amend your soil with a similar soil top dress that can help rectify the nutrientless medium
