Looks like a little overwatering starting off. 47% rh is pretty low also. If you can get it up between 60-65 that could help too

What’s your ph of the water? How old are the plants? PPM? What media and light? And agree with @Borderryan22 gotta boost that humidity a bit.

Correction, soil is Happy Frog

Need almost if not 70% humidity…
Humidity way to low…for seedling…
Happy growing

Not concerned with not pH’ing tap water for happy frog. Now as soon as nutes are added start pH’ing to 6.3

I know you don’t want to hear it but it looks like over watering to me. Drying out is a requirement of an organic grow not an option. Organics that are 2 wet and do not have a dry cycle die.

Happy frog alone is good for 3-5 weeks of plant nutrition in a pot. After that nutes will be required.
Dry the pot out until it is light like a loaf of bread then water appropriately. Hopefully you can work towards a 2 or 3 day cycle.

I beg to differ.
If an organic grow dries out then the microbe life dies and you have to re introduce the microbes some way.
A synthetic grow needs to dry back.
Organic requires constant dampness to survive. Smaller amounts more frequently.

Happy frog is best fed and /or watered at 6.5 - 6.8 ph from the start. 6.3 is too low and will cause issues.
Agree the OP’s soil looks too wet tho.

@Dabneyj Water in a circle outside the current area but let it dry some first.
Increase the diameter of the circle each time you water so the roots will reach for it.
Small plant in big pot = too wet issues like you’re seeing.
Start ph ing your water to 6.5 going forward.
Based on what you’re planning to feed will determine how you proceed with watering going forward.

Thanks, I do want to hear any info that will help this old new grower. I really struggle with the watering. May try the self watering route…keep it coming folks!

Good answers above but first thing that caught my eye was the vibrant new growth. That is where I myself look. @Oldguy is absolutely correct always moist organic/living over drench/drought synthetic liquids.
Did leaves get wet. Sit on soil before she stretched up? Ph anywhere in the 5.8-7 fair soil life will regulate. Drought would mean fair to me. Best fer shure ph is just ph it. Too young to panic or worry with that new growth unless a rapid spread. I dont see it but could easily be wrong.

Looks like plant stress for sure. My current grow looked like that in coco. My plants were small in final pots too. Problem for me could have been nutes but I really think my issue was getting too hot and cold, my temps fluctuated between 65 and 85 degrees. I also had slow growth. Once I got stable conditions the plants returned to normal except for lost veg time with autos.

Not saying this is your issue, just sharing

Imo other than the stretch in flower that will drive you nuts with training the most stressful part of the grow has passed.
You will slowly build up to your full watering where you get the whole pot wet and allow it to dry down again. Fox farms organic runs best with a good dry cycle. When you are at full pour get in the habit of lifting the pot. Learn the difference between full and ready to water and remember to check for ready every time. I missed this one time and much stress was had by all.

Looks much happier
