ok I have a waterfarm only about 120 watt cfl , 1
plant super silver haze . I am using neptunes harvest seawed and fish and a little dyna bloom, can't get dyna grow for another week, so I think neptunes harvest should be ok till then. Anyway it is 12 days old, today I noticed scaling on the root and one of the the 1st set of leaves just turned browm, I think it might be mold, in that case what should I do about it? been keeping the ph at about 5.5

I don't know if it because I am useing a tablet but I don't see a attachment for photos, I know youl need to se them!

You don't need to be feeding them nutes this early, but until you upload pics can't really help you.

ok so when should I start nutes? If it is mold what's the best way to go about disinfecting it ? I have a 4 by 3 cabinet so I should be able to control it right?

looks like light/nute burn pics are kinda blurry. I would definitely say its not mold tho. Start ferts at 4 weeks; use half strength or less

Definitely light/nute burn. Stop nutrient feedings until plants have developed 3-5 nodes. 12 days old is far too young to be drenching in any level of nutrients, no matter how light. In the early stages of life, the plants are getting a good majority of their nutrients from the cotyledons, and have no need for nutrient assistance. When you do start feeding with nutrients I would suggest feeding with 1/4 of the dosage on the label.

Give it fresh ph'd water only and bring the light up some, get air flow in there too.
