I remember but it was all from Nick at night. That had some of my favorite shows when I was a kid.

Drain hole was pretty wet and has probably never been dry. Soil is a seed starter mix w/out nutrients.

Thanks! I couldn't believe how many answers this got so quickly. Hope to grow into a very helpful user as soon as I figure out what the hell I'm doing

I have. The challenge is sticking to info relevant to stage. I've forgotten more than I read. As this is my first attempt I will be revisiting a lot.

terrafirma00042 , nice, you need to keep your cfls, no further away than 2inches.
Keep them close !!

Well...sadly, it's only getting worse. I believe the over watering and "berple" intense light did too much damage. Going to keep it going just to find that perfect watering rhythm with my soil and container. Got a second chance in germ.

Crappy picture of a sad situation. I think my container is too small because I can water to run off and it's dry within a very small time. That would lead me to over water because I checked on it 1000000000 and found the top dry every time. Then after getting this advice here I probably let it get too dry. Also just noticed gold flakes in this seed starter mix. Second chance in germ stage is a Jack Herer gift so I need to get it right.
Two 60w 2700 CFL. Steady 75F to 80F with around 45-60% humidity.

Never saw if you got the seedling pictures you wanted. These are healthy and were planted in rapid rooter on 10/4. However the 2 on the right were not close enough to the light at first. (That light was always the perfect distance for all previous grows so maybe I need to replace the t5 bulb?) But those 2 on the right are too leggy they shouldn't be that tall. They were stretching to get to the light but they are healthy. The one on the left popped her head out today. The other 2 yesterday.
As you can see they are still in rapid rooters. They are fairly small as you can see from the upside down solo cups they are in. So no your pot is no where near to small. I water them with 12ml of water at bedtime. 6ml of water first thing in the morning and 3ml middle day. Depending on the environment you may need a little more or a little less water.
I plant them in peat pots like yours when the roots start growing out of the bottom of the rapid rooters. When I do I water the soil I'm going to use the day before potting them so it is moist and not wet. Immediately after getting them in the peat pot I add 12 ml water to the rapid rooter and leave the soil like it is.
After they are in peat pots I water when the soil is dry to my knuckle. Watch the top of the rapid rooter for clues as it will look bone dry when its time to water. However the soil deeper than knuckle depth should still be just barely moist. That's hard to determine but if it feels colder past knuckle depth but doesnt feel damp its probably just about right to water.
How much water you give them after that can be tricky in the size pot you have it in. That's what I use but maybe you should try one a bit smaller. A smaller starter pot you just water to run off. The bigger one I would water till the soil is moist but probably not until runoff until it has a decent set of larger leaves. Then you can water to runoff. To simplify watering when it is big enough go to a 1 gallon air pot or peat pot. Water to run off and use the knuckle depth test to determine when to water. When it outgrows that go to your final pot.
If those are really peat pots I plant pot and all when transplanting.
Use good soil. Fox Farms or one of the other ones recommended here but I can never remember the names.
That is not the only proper way to do it. It is just very easy and will help you figure out how to water a seedling.
As far as your current plant I really dont have a clue. But there is alot we dont know about it. Maybe someone else here does.
This is how small a ml is if you arent aware. The line is
30 ml.

Soil or medium needs to dry a little to encourage roots to seek out water and food. I let the solo get to feeling light weight, then I know the dirt is drying. Grab a moisture meter they are like 10 dollars.

Everyone of these suggestions are Good ones. There are also very good articles on the GWE site, they give very good directions and pics, just type it in the search or check out the different grow articles.
