Hi, I'm new here but have a decent knowledge of growing but i'm having a problem with one of my seedlings. I already searched on here and other places but i have been unable to find an answer to my specific problem.
Heres the problem. One of the seedlings, the biggest and first one to have those two tiny leaves, the rest haven't really opened up all the way yet. Well this morning the leaves were open and looked really healthy. Now i came home tonight and it is drooping, the two oval leaves are bent over all the way and curling in towards the stem.
The seeds have been in rapid rooter plugs and are under a 400W MH that was about 2.5 feet above the tray, but is now about 4 feet away as i read the light being too close can burn the seedlings. The leaves are a light green and i don't see anything that looks burned. Air temp has been right around 80 the whole time with the seedlings under a humidity dome. I've been checking on the moisture of the plugs regularly and noticed they seem to dry out a little and get to where i can barely feel any moisture in them so i've been watering them about twice a day, the humidty dome didn't get any moisture on the inside untill i sealed it up with some plastic wrap and that slowed how fast they dried. Also when this seedling came up the shell of the seed rose up above the soil but didn't come off and was barely hanging and came off with a little coaxing when i was wattering.
Please let me know what you think, sorry i don't have any pictures. I hope i didn't kill it.
