you need to make sure its not going to die from thirst, but otherwise don't water it daily. Wait until it establishes roots before feeding it. Best way to do that is to pick the pot up and feel the weight. Most newbies over water and mess things up.

I have clones in Solo cups full of coco coir and don't water them but once a week. Sometimes less.

The soil needs to start wet so the plant can grow, it needs to stay wet so that it doesn't die, it needs to mostly dry out between watering but not fully or the plant will die. Over watering leads to stalled growth, as the roots need air as well, not just submerged in water.

You said you sprouted in paper towel, planted and watered.... sounds about right, just don't water them too often. How long ago did you plant them?

it happens. Maybe you put it in too deep or didn't water it enough so that the soil dried out the tap root.

Wait, you dug up a seed to observe it? Wouldnt that affect or damage it in any way?
