Tomato just got checked.
This looks like a healthy little tomato seedling in a grow sponge, with no obvious yellowing or collapse. Since it’s being started for a future Kratky move, the main job now is to keep the roots happy and avoid soaking the stem.
Today’s move
Keep the sponge moist, not flooded, and make sure only the roots are reaching water. Bright light and a little airflow will help it stay sturdy.
Watch the roots and stem
If the seedling stays upright and the roots are reaching water, you’re on track for the Kratky transition. If the stem starts looking soft or stretched, adjust light and water level first.
