    Default HELP! What’s wrong with my wedding cake auto seedlings?

    Hi guys I’m a newb so apologies if I’m making a big deal of nothing but my seedlings look healthy and green but one leaf on each plant is basically facing the floor. I have posted pics below I last watered 4 days ago they only started doing this today but my medium takes a while to dry so it’s still moist, before the last feed 4 days ago the previous feed was 6 days before that and was only ph water and a little root stimulant. I’m using a mix of bio biz all mix mixed with some small clay pebbles for aeration but my medium still doesn’t get completely dry. was just wondering if anybody could shed some light on the situation I ensured not to over water by keeping Atleast 4/6 days between each feed, could this be under watering even if the medium is still moist? . Just to add they are kept outside on a balcony in a mini green house they do sometimes bend towards the sun and I rotate them but never to this extent and it’s never the leaves it’s normally the stem. The wilting didn’t start after the first feed 4 says ago they only did this today after we had some sunshine. Any opinions welcome Thank you

    Looks fine to me bud, maybe a little heavy on the watering though, sure someone with a little extra knowledge will pop up any second now

    Thanks bud after their first ever feed I waited 6 days and gave each plant a litre of water I didn’t want to wait any longer for the medium to dry as I thought waiting longer would affect them.

    While they're so young no need to drown the whole pot, let them dry out for now then a nice little ring a couple of inches away from the stem will do, have the roots searching out for a drink, then when she's a bit more established then start a good wet/dry cycle, assuming your medium is soil, if coco you want to be feeding daily (once established) to 20% run of each time

    They look ok, put some domes over them, then water around the dome the roots have to stretch out for moisture.
    So much to learn, so little time to learn it

    Always underfeed and underwater for the first 10 days. I wouldn't dome a small plant, you want them searching for water by building more roots.. not taking up water in the leaves.

    Whatever you are doing, keep doing it, and prepare to grdually increase feed in about 2 weeks. But not too much! Do not cover them mate, they will get soggy and droop. For the next 1-2 weeks water the cups once every 3-5 days, make sure they're mostly dry when you water! Be careful of mould or moss growing. Don't let them dry out completely. Dry is better than wet in early stages.

    When they are in first few weeks they are most vulnerable. Good luck bud.

    I'll chip in with
    Is your plant getting much airflow through that balcony greenhouse? I started a couple in one and with the hygrometer inside it was hitting 90% humidity so needed a lot less watering
    And they need the breeze to strengthen the stems
    Just my tuppence worth... Atb chap
    PS dem look good
