Hey all and Happy Mother's Day to the moms.

Please see my entry below.

First true leaf has started wilting and not sure what is going on here. Have I overwatered or is this nothing to worry about? Thanks.

Could be overwatering. My 603 Muller cotyledons drooped and curled because of overwatering but first true leaf and other developing leaves are fine--now that I've transplanted, which makes it hard to overwater.

I had a few leaves on one of my watermelons droop and I thought it was from lack of water. Leaves look fine while sun is out but plant is shaded late in the evening and I have noticed the last couple of days that leaves only droop when plant is in shade! Hope this helps!!

maybe it is the angle of the pic, but I don't see any "drooping". The edges if the leaf are cupped up, and have nice color, that is a sign of a health happy plant.

The stem seems a little long, maybe the leaf is just getting too heavy to hold up. Start hardening it off outside in the sun for a few hours a day until you plant, and you might consider up potting if you are going to hold it for very much longer.

I agree with countryboy! That looks like a very healthy plant!
