Please help, root rot? Mg deficiency?

So I have been raising a seedling, it's approximately 4 weeks old. Towards the beginning of her life I accidentally over watered her, I started in a solo cup with fine drainage, but her leaves dropped bad, so I stopped watering and corrected it. But now, the first set of leaves is pale white, and the tips are nasty brown and are curling up. You can see by the photo that it isn't overwatered, the leaves are even, not drooping. But I'm terrified that I have root rot, I tried to convince myself it was MG deficiency and ended up adding a little epsom salt to the soil, the only sign I am seeing of root rot is those pale, brown leaves at the bottom, please give me an answer or hint of hope lol because if you have seen my other threads, the other plant I'm raising is mutated as well lol.

I would transplant. You need better soil. That looks like mud. Try Fox Farm Ocean Forest.
I had it in good soil, I ran out of the soil I used when it was in the solo cup, but there is a mixture of that soil and the soil you see on top. And the soil that you see is actually good, straight out of my vegetable garden. And it may look muddy because I had just watered it.

Underfeeding. The soil is terrible clay void of nutrients. Scoop it out and into a real mix and watch it take off.

Bro, I just said, these rotting leaves began happening in the solo cup, with the good soil. It's not shitty soil I promise, no clay, all soft, rich soil that compacts well when saturated. I have 6 females in my garden thriving right now in that soil, I'm just worried about this one individual

Sorry devon. Your gardens soil isnt good for cannabis, unless you just got greenhouse mix dumped in the garden. Then its great. But these plants want loose soil so the roots can travel far and fast. The plants also like highly amended, nutrient rich soil, with things like worm castings, guano, oyster shell, lime, and all sorts of compost and peat. Does the garden soil have any of those things added?

Explain thriving. Like six footers?

Yes, there were worm castings and seafood compost added awhile ago when I started the garden. I used this soil because I ran out of the one my other one was using, I honestly miss that soil, but my plants in the garden are 100% natural, so they aren't beautiful, but they are females, and touching about 1-1 1/2 feet now, just going into flowering. And they are doing fine, this is why I'm concerned about this individual plant, here's a photo of my other females

How old are those plants?
 
Very underdeveloped for 11 weeks. Your problem is your soil. I promise.
I just planted those 6 plants into that garden 5 days ago dude, I swear it is not that soil. I grew those things in pots with that soil I ran out of for 10 weeks straight, note they weren't given any nutrients, they were topped quite a bit, and they are 100% outdoor.

But they could be a lot bigger, I thought that outdoor plants usually never grow to the size and quality that an indoor plant would. This soil that you say is the problem is just coming into the picture, the only plant I have displaying problems is this baby one I am asking about

Well theyre not the smallest 11 week plants ive ever seen. But theyre also not the biggest, greenest, or most impressive either. The soil i use you can step on it and your foot will disapear. Thats how soft the soil is. There isnt one spec of visible clay in it. And it grows plants 12 feet wide. Only costs 37 bucks a yard, but it takes a yard to fill the six foot by three deep hole i dig per plant. Buuuut, that soil and small amount of work pays you back ;)
I still think the "sick" plant just looks underfed and it looks like the roots are getting choked by clay. Good luck with the harvest. :)

Yeah bro fuck the soil I'm using, I'm gonna take your advice and go buy soil at the store today, will transplanting, watering, and possible underfed damage be a growth stunt when I transplant it today?

Soil like that has an immediate impact on your plants. Roots can't breathe and you see evidence of that in your seedling. Older plants will survive but they will struggle and you will see this with slow growth rates. If you tell me your bigger plants have been in your preferred soil for 10 weeks and they look like that then I would say your preferred soil is not great either. Soil makes all the difference in the world, and your soils are very poor for optimum growth rates, obviously. Go get some FFOF and watch your plants explode.

Don't know, but it is available all over the place. Google it. Anywhere you find it you should also find Fox Farm Lightning Warrior. Grab a bag of that too and mix them 1:1. FF Happy Frog is another option you might want to consider if you can't find Ocean Forest.
