Seedling still alive?

A question from a fellow grower:

Hello I planted this seedling about 4 days ago. I checked on her this morning and she looked like this. There is some purple on her root. Is she dead or dying? Respectfully request some help. Thank you.

Did you add nutrients to the soil or use a soil with nutrients/additives? If so, you need to change the soil immediately. Gently lift the sprout out of the soil, gently rinse off the root, and gently place into an ordinary, plain soil with no nutrients added. Wait until she has several sets of leaves before you add anything. When you are handling your sprout, it is best to hold by one of the leaves, and no not touch the root at all.

What kind of lighting are you using at this time, how close, and how many hours per day? Depending on the answer, some adjustments may be needed for that.

Also, what strain is it, do you know?

I will summon some experienced growers/mentors for you also. @MacGyverStoner @garrigan62 @Paranorman
