My seedling, looking good?

[qubed55]

This seedling popped up on sunday, making it 6 days old, I transplanted it to a larger on day 5 early morning, and now it has some serious droop. It's very green still, temp around 70 degrees under two 27w 6800k and 1 30w 4500k. It drooped a little before I watered it last, but that cleared up in about 4 hours. This is after I watered and transplanted yesterday, still not sure of problem. It is in half MG organic, half perlite soil in a painted white grow box.

lights are too far away

yes and stop misting it, use the mister to water the soil at the base of the plant

Alright, I haven't misted in three days, and lights have been within 5 inches for last 48-72 hours, but plant is still drooping. The second leaf set is taking forever to grow, but I don't think I'm over watering it, the soil is very dry at top and my drainage is good. Again, using 50% perlite and 50% MG organic soil, no ferts yet, and it's at day 9. Serious droop on first leaf set. Is this normal/happening due to my lighting setup? pic here. Here's latest pic, as you can see, the drooping won't stop. I would like some help as it seems to be growing fairly slow.

same thing is happening to my seedling, Its perfectly green, but droops what is going on?

Ok my plants is doing worse. It is now three weeks old and the bottom leaves are all yellow and spotting brown, The top two sets are yellowing and the plant looks very bad. I thought I over-watered so I waited 3-4 days until the soil was dry to take a run-off test, the soil is the right pH, though it was not a digital meter so I'm not sure about the reliability is good. The plant is growing very slow. Should I just cut it and start another one from seedling? Should I not do anything and just wait? Cut down on lights, water? I'm begging for an answer here.

Miracle Grow soils suck for seedlings,....I know your using Organic, but it has plenty of ferts added.........seedlings are just simply fertilizer sensitive in the seedling stage.... period.

you may have read others were sucessful, and thier strain may have been more receptive to fertilizers, we see 200 of these a year and MG soil & seedlings dont go well
Seriuosly........I think youd be better off with a handfull of dirt from the garden rather than use the MG soil for seedlings, till they are 5 weeks old then use that soil

You should also switch out those 2700k bulbs with some 6700k... 27 for flower 67 for veg IIRC...

Bad news: my seedling was uprooted by my cat when I accidentally left grow room door open. Guess I don't have to make a choice about whether to start over or not. Got 6 germinating right now and was going to use some regular potting soil in jiffy-pots till they're bout 2-3 weeks old before I pick one to go inside with my MG soil and put the rest on my neighbor's property(he's growing weed anyways, he won't care).
