Overwatering?

Sup guys

 

Attached are pics of my 2 and a half week old seedling.

I dont know if im being paranoid, but the leaves appear a bit floppy to me. I understand that overwatering causes this? Is that the case here or is it too early to tell?

I have been watering them every 3 days with about 300ml water.

 

Any feedback will be much appreciated.

Thanks

hey wallis55, I think your assessment is correct, wrt over watering.

 

I use the weigh method. I first let it dry completely and check the weight. Then I water accordingly. They will perk up again after the roots gets some oxygen.

 

I have also noticed closer to their bed time they will start droop as if they getting ready for bed. :poke

Thanks Toby.

I don't think I can use the weigh method cos I have them in 16 litre pots so 200/300 ml of water will not really affect the weight. 

I opted against starting off in small pots then transplanting to larger ones.

 

So now do I not water them again until they have perked up? Or do I just give less water from now on?
