I am still very much a noob, but don't seem to have a green thumb. I have just germinated a Royal Kush #1 seed and she was doing well up until 3 days ago. some NPK 0.5, 0.5, 0.5 feed and not sure if I messed up the dose or over watered. Soil PH is 6.0. 2.5wks old. Any ideas? Thx

Watch the advice from clowns like oraganoman,ninjabum and the double zero number guy as they constantly give out bad advice.That needs the whole pot soaking now as its not a big pot..The roots will be bigger than the plant.If you take your time you should be able to soak that with 1 litre or 2pints.Let the top layer dry out completely but it wants to look dark under the surface,don';t let it wilt.You can feel the weight when its dry and needs doing.The cheapest light is a HID lamp like the whole world used up until a few years ago.You'll get a lamp.shade and bulb for less than 70quid,100$,and they're easier to work with than led,s.The majority of the horticulture industry still use them.Iv got one hanging with my led,s to bring more blues into the room.The one you've got looks like what they call blurple led,s.blue and purple

Over fed...........seedlings started in decent quality soil should not need any additional feeding for at least 3-4 weeks if planted in a reasonable sized container. Soil looks very dry too.........water the entire pot until run off then do not water again until the top inch to inch and a half have dried out again, then repeat. This may take 1-5 days (or more) depending on your environment. Never shallow water, spritz your plant or water only next to the stem............roots will not grow out into dry soil......think about nature and what happens when it rains. Start a detailed and well filled out diary if you are expecting more questions to be posted in the future. Without knowing exactly what you may be or may not be doing, any answers you get are only glorified guesses.

In the really, if u just give it some water in the first few weeks, thats just fine, just stop giving nutritons and give the plant some time to recover

It would be helpful if you had a detailed journal here so we could pinpoint exactly what's happening, but based on your description, I can offer some insight. Given the age of your plant (around 2.5 weeks), a balanced 0.5-0.5-0.5 feed seems gentle enough, but even that can be strong for a young seedling, depending on the medium you're using. From your details, I'd guess you've possibly overfed or overwatered—both of which are very easy to do early on. At this stage, seedlings are sensitive, and a little goes a long way. Additionally, keep an eye on your lighting. Seedlings don’t need intense light, and the symptoms you're seeing could indicate some stress from too high an intensity. The plant might be trying to shield itself, leading to weird leaf shapes and general stress. I'd suggest backing the light off a bit or reducing its intensity until the plant stabilizes. Also, double-check your humidity levels. Seedlings prefer higher humidity (60-70% - no higher than 70%), and low humidity can easily stress them out. Right now, the key is to simplify things: reduce feeding frequency, dial back lighting, adjust humidity if needed, and avoid additional stress like training until the plant shows signs of recovery.

1 issue is certainly the light.It maybe the only issue but I can't say to be sure.It doesnt look overwatered.
