Ok so with this plant ill give you the rundown on its life so far because its been through a bit due to me rushing into things...I got 4 under 600mh, distilled water is being used, temp stays between 75-80 but drops a little during lights out. soil ph sittin on 6.
I originally planted in soil and it broke ground on the 1st of may. I thought the soil was REAL hard so decided to move to a soil less medium being peat moss. Me being impatients as hell and not doing the proper research I put it in straight peat moss and it was there for about 4 days before I realised how acidic straight peat was. The first set of true leaves got a little burnt on the tips.
(This was the day of the move to peat/perlite/lime)
Anyway I bought more peat moss some perlite and dolomite lime. It has been in the 60/40 mix for about 2 and a half weeks now and it seems to be bouncing back ok.
I didnt feed any nutes until yesterday because people told me to wait until 3-4 nodes show. A few days ago someone told me I should have gave nutrients as soon as I put in peat moss. About 48 hours ago the first set of true leaves began to yellow so I set out to buy some nutes. I bought GH Flora series hoping it would fix this and gave half strength of the seedling feed cycle being- 0.5ml of Gro, 1ml of Micro, 0.5ml of Bloom to a gallon. Half strength...
This morning I went out to check if the yellowing had improved but it has gotten worse. I know the first set of true leaves do yellow out and die but I dont know if that is supposed to happen this early. I looked at the deficiancy chart and it is closest to phosphorus def.

I know it is tiny for 4 weeks since breaking ground but I think I stunted it growth by putting it in straight peat moss. I have noticed it has bounced back and growth is speeding up. Let me know your thoughts and opinions...Is this some kind of deficiency and is it always going to be a runt? I have got 3 others so losing this will be a pain in the ass but not too big of a knock...
