So the correction was pHing the water?
If they are all reg. seeds I wouldn't pull anything untill you know the sex of them all. You may well be euthanizing the only female of the three. All three may be male! You never know. So if it was me I'd let them all continue at least until sexing. If all three turn out to be female and it continues to be the runt and encroaching on the space of the superior plants then at that point you may want to have the conversation about binning it.

Yea thats fair. What I dont want is a problem child lmao. Its been the quickest to have issues and the slowest to recover.
Yep the correction was pH
But your right. Solider on I suppose.

One last question about the lights and soil.
With this soil outdoors using the sun only I never saw any type of nutrient burns.
In the tent with LED. Its getting slight burns just from the soil.
Is this common with LEDs? If I turn the dimmer up will that help the plants utilize more of the nutrients?

Never lmao. Either full control or its not a catch.

Honestly I thought it was lmao. I raised the light and intended to crank it up. But when I went in today it was at 60%.
I specifically told you way earlier in this thread im a clutz. Im damn near sure I bumped it at some time. Regardless its getting cranked this week.
But back to the question. Would low light settings cause less nutrient uptake causing burns?
Could the low light settings have been helpful in recovery?
Im too new to indoor lighting to answer these questions for myself.

I would think if you’re giving more than the plant is consuming it will burn. I know that sounds simple but I think it really is. So no I don’t think the low light is the issue. You may just be feeding too high EC.

Im not feeding. Its just the soil and pH water

According to this you didUpdate on getting them back to good.
So as I has stated I watered with pHd feed. A small shot of grow big 6-4-4. When I say small im talking 1 teaspoon for 2 gallons small.
This was yesterday morning.
I also raised the light last night as previously suggested. It was still too close.
Here are the differences.
This was Saturday.

This morning.

Recovery has definitely begun. Looking forward to getting back on track.
The light is obviously alot stronger than what I was giving it credit for.
At 22 inches away and 80% intensity it was getting leaves curling at the top as to avoid the light. I moved it to 36 inches as suggested with 100% intensity.

I never do ph water until I feed. The soil has buffers that fix all that for you.

It was legit tiny. 1 tsp per 2 gallons. If I were going with nutes it would be 3 tsp per gallon to put that into perspective. Plus the burns were going on since I transplanted.

Yea thats what I thought. The moment I didnt pH shit went south. As we can see by the change back to pH and subsequent recovery

Aren’t you in soil? I couldn’t find the medium anywhere

So im gonna break down the succession of things.
Poped seeds put them into solo cups with seedling starter no pH
Transplanted to 1 gallon. No pH.
They grew fast than expected and I missed transplant by 3 days or so and the went hungry.
Transplanted into 3 gallon growbags with my normal soil. No pH. Plants went south pretty quick.
pH water with tiny amount (super tiny) of 6-4-4 and here we are recovered.
I have only pHd once. This past watering. It was citric acid btw. I dont use pH up and Down.
