Plant Going Yellow

i planted my seed about a week and a half ago outside in my backyard. after about a week a stem came out and it was about a 1/4 of an inch big. its been a couple days and the stem aint growing. its starting to get yellow from the tip. is there anyway fix this problem?

What kind of soil did you use?

miracle grow potting soil

I think you've probably overwatered it. It's common to do this in the misguided belief that it will make your plants grow quicker.

If not that you need to ph your soil.
Did you pack the soil in or let it fall loosely?
Is the plant getting enough light?

i feed the plant a little bit of water every day in the noon. and i leave the plant outside all day in the sun.

Only water as needed (when the top few inches of soil is dry). The soil itself may be the problum though. If it's miricle grow it may have fertilizers in it.

so what should i do. or my plant already dead? if not how can i make it so it can continue to grow

is it big enough to transplant or is it just a stem?

its just a stem

are u suppose to pack the soil down?

Well I have tried both ways. I have noticed I get more root growth in looser soil. But you need a strong medium to hold up the plants so I decided to just pack the dirt lightly.

As far as the overwatering... Just try to water when and only when the soil needs it. I dont know if they will come back. Usually if my plants turn yellow then its all over.
