American Pie Auto Day 5, is my plant growing at a normal rate

Im growing in coco and perlite.
I’ve been watering it with filtered water.
I’m growing in space bucket.
Day humidity is about 70-80 and night is about 40-50.
Day temp. is about below 92 and night is about 77.
I’ve computer fan in and out.
I use humidifier at night bcoz the air is dry.

Is it normal for day 5 plant to look this size.

Plant is way too wet. Allow to dry out or you will damp-off. Clear cups are not great when the roots grow to the outside. Should be in dark cups with adequate drainage holes.

Let her dry out and struggle a bit. The roots will spread out in search of food and water is a simplified explanation. Over watering is #1 cause of death :skull: LoL

Noted. I have repot it into a new pot that has hole on the bottom. I did not water it bcoz the soil is moist. I haven’t repot the other one bcoz I can’t find another pot. I’ll try to find a pot and repot asap. I’ll probably won’t water it for the next 1 or 2 day. To let the soil dry.

Thanks. This is my second try. The last try did not go well. The seeds did not germinate well. I’ll wait for a week to see if there any changes in the rate of grow.

Ya thanks. I’ll let her go without water for probably for 1-2 days and check again if she need water.

As soon as first leaves fall off start a lite feeding. There are no nutes in coir so you hand feed them everything from beginning. I start with half or less of recommended dose of nutes. Also the clear pot is bad for roots as stated above. These are mine @ about 2 weeks

You should probably put more than one hole in pot too, then let them dry out some. Seedlings don’t need a lot of water.

Noted. I’ll keep track on the leaves.

I let the first pot to dry up and it is dry. I think I should water it?

I’ve also repot the second plant. I’ll let it dry out for 1-2 days.

I got a fabric pot. But I’m not sure if it is suitable for future use.

Thanks.
