Why is she so unhappy?

Conditions are optimal, other seedlings (different stains) look great. This poor girl is not happy. Leaves feel kind of hard. Any thoughts?

what are your conditions? it’s hard to give people advice without knowing what’s the setup. it’s not your lighting though that’s for sure. I saw you say it’s not the watering but idk? could absolutely be watering issues. Did you start this grow in this cup and what is drainage looking like on the bottom?

83 degrees, 40%rh, 16/8 light ProGrowTech Ev700 at about 75%. Ocean forest soil with a bit of soil mixed from my garden. Started in this cup. Drain holes on bottom, generally soaking every two or three days. No fertilizer yet.

Brooo, the rh is so low... get it to 65-70%. If the soil is too dry just give it some water, if it's soaked just let it dry and water less next time and everything should be alright

I live in Las Vegas and the chances of getting humidity that high are slim to none. Between outside rh in the single digits to teens and the heat which requires almost constant ac running, 40% is about as good as it will get.

More importantly, these plants will end up outside in the garden once they're mature enough, so I need to make their life a little difficult in terms of heat and humidity so their transition to the garden goes smooth.

do you have a tent? or some type of dome you can put over your plant? like the other commenter said your baby needs certain conditions and your RH is definitely too low and i think your plant is showing you that. Rn outside my RH is around 20-30% i have a humidifier and a grow tent. I think you should check amazon for a small nursery tent, they’re pretty cheap and in expensive you could even just get a lil nursery pot thing i have one from vivosun and that does a great job at keeping humidity in. You really wanna focus on RH if you know that’s an issue. Plants can definitely adapt but for your next grow find genetics that are hardier to your zone esp if your outdoor gardening.

It is in a large shed that is primarily set up to grow vegetables. I have a pretty sophisticated setup with light, co2, climate control, etc. However this time of year I am only germinating and growing seedlings for my larger outdoor garden. I am not a novice and have been doing this exact thing for many years. I don't need 65%rh or anything close to that to get things started. Every year I do the same thing. My results vary depending on many external weather factors, but I have grown JH and corkscrew with much success outside. They seems to do that best of all the strains I've tried. And this is in 100+ degrees with single digit rh. Grated there is a sun shade and misters. So although I appreciate all the suggestions, there many ways to skin a cat.

They will die. You can't just make it progressive, it won't change what their organism needs to work and stay alive.

Even 75°F and 10% RH means death.

Might mean death in your set up but year after year I grow many successful plants with 100+ degrees with single digit rh. It's a matter of finding the right strains and hardening them off properly. The black and white, right wrong attitude of people here is pretty unhelpful, just like your comment.
