Seedlings don't need any nutrients for a good 12 days at least. Stop giving nutrients, water when dry, it will grow out of it.

Blackening leaves on 2 week old seedling.
Any ideas what has caused the blackening on the leaves? More effects of the overwatering? Hope it's not a lost cause but I'm losing hope.

These three girls are all wilting and/or barely growing. I'd say over-watering except I've only been giving maybe a quart then waiting till the soil dries a little bit. Not too much tho. Could it be a nutrient problem already?

RunWithIt
Popped up around last week (week 4, monday). Prior to week 4, i had been watering with tap water, which in my area is pretty hard.(7.8+ pH) Been correcting pH to 6.8 with each watering since. (2 waterings since then.) Should i just continue feeding 6.8 pH water or add cal-mag?

What's Happening to my Glookies? Lower Growth Yellowing with Grey/Light Brown Spots.
Yellowing with grey/light brown spots occurring on the Glookies plants (starting from the tip of the leaf). I believe it may be due to the Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil mix but any advice or input on what is possibly happening is greatly appreciated. Fingers also fused together.

Gray leaves on buds with a massive concentration of trichomes. What is it?
No clue what this is. Light gray leaves, tons of trichomes. I'm a bit confused here. Should I just cut the buds that look like this to be safe? Or is this normal?

I’ve never seen this before?!
Weird spots on leaf’s I’ve never seen before. Growing in coco with dry amendments and worm castings. Ph 6.7/6.5. Just gave some compost tea earlier today. And earlier this week some GH calmag because some of them are showing deficiencies for that. But what are these weird spots?

Problem with plants in the 3rd week of vegetation.
I'm posting again because I accidentally marked it as resolved. I was using BioBizz CalMag from the beginning, but when I switched to Advanced Nutrients, I stopped because Ph Perfect Sensi Coco Grow A and B already contain CalMag.
