The tips of the new leaves are showing signs of what I think might be nute burn or light burn. I may have started the CalMag a bit early. I am removing two of the four CFLs to lower the wattage to ~80, and I will flush once the coco dries out a bit more.

I have switched the light schedule from 20/4 to 18/6, and lowered the wattage to 80W of only daylight white. After purchasing a thermometer, I also noticed that the bucket was reaching temperatures of ~90 degrees F, but this has gone down to ~80 with the removal of the two soft white lights. The combination of that and more sparse watering so far seems to be slightly improving the seedling's health. I will maintain this for several days to see if it continues to improve. I may try giving it a small amount of nutes toward the beginning of next week.

Her leaves really grew a lot today! I am very excited to see her showing positive signs under the new watering schedule and decreased wattage. I will be keeping these conditions as-is for now while she recovers.

I think I've noticed a slight darkening of her color over the past two days. I am hoping this trend continues. Unfortunately there are no pictures for Day 14.
@Halite, hey buddy! Not one problem!! I'll be keeping a close eye on your grow ! Best of luck mate. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions!!!
@Finitos,
Thanks so much for the advice! She seems much happier today with the decreased light. I am glad you came around! Without you second-guessing the problem I might not have lowered the wattage again.
@Halite, hey mate! Great question as to this is a highly debated topic. When it comes to diagnosing your plant, it becomes rather difficult and confusing as you do your research. This may be a combination of things, maybe overwatered slightly coupled with a bit of light stress. As your plants grow towards the light you typically want to see some growth between your nodes thus giving you an indication that your plant growth is at a healthy pace. My 2 cents mate, is to experiment with remedies such as you stated before. Check your plant everyday and react from that point on! Give her a few weeks mate! I'll be following
And I'm sure u will do better next time.You are gonna have to step your game up more if you want better results the second time around.Bigger pot and better lighting.
The leaves have nutrient burn from too much nutrients - CFL s are painful and never worked well for me - my advice get an led if you have heat issues - 👍Also Ph is very important 6.5 is perfect for soil
