Hey everyone. I've got a 10 day old seedling on the go right now. On day 6 i noticed the first set of leaves curling. I believe i fixed the problem (removed woodchips/nute balls from soil, added perlite, changed lighting, less watering). But Id like you guys to decide.

new growth looks nice but thats wayy to green, dont feed it anything it has excessive Nitrogen. I would wait until it really needs to be watered and then flush it. It looks like MG soil so the ph is going to fluctuate a bit but pulling those timed nutrient releases was a good start

lol good guess its MG African Violet soil.. thanks i will try flushing it in a day or two. I'm new to growing as this is my first, do i just run water through and let it drain a bit?

yup slowly run the water till its draining for a bit just wanna keep in mind you not only trying to water the plant but also recirculate the air that gets in the soil as well for the roots so you dont wanna pack down the soil too much keep it lightly packed the perlite should help
