My first grow, pls give suggestions

Hey all

This is my first grow. Started on the 8th, from seed. They got stretchy for lack of proper light and humidity has been 60% at best. Fixed the light issue, reburied a few.

I'm using dirt from an old beaver dam, that looks to me like super rich soil. Grows things like peas fast an doesn't have weeds in it. I mixed it 50/50 with micorrihzae peat for some better drainage. Seems to be good so far, no neut burn or weak plants. They get a bit of window light on top of two 30W led garage lights, couple inches off of them.

Please give tips to improve and comments on the state of my plants, signals I'm going wrong or right. Advanced tips even, I'm a smart guy. I will only have 4 in the end, so some micromanagement and obsessing is merited.

These two look best, the rest are looking similar but less prolific. Going to have to remove males then hope for a decent plant left over to be my mother.

Lux in the sun is 100k for a few hours a day. 50k under the lights.

One is looking like the new leaves have a different colour. Is this an expression or am I burning newly forming leaves?

Looking pretty stretchy but you got that cleared up good job, the colour and node spacing look good on the first pic. The purple on the newest growth could be lack of K not sure never seen purple like that on the leaves just stems. I’m sure someone more experienced will chime in.

This is K deficiency? Purple stem, more so to my eyes.

Plant that tiny don't have deficiencies yet
You need to just let them grow

Some had the burned end look of potassium deficiency, perhaps. They got removed earlier though. Diagnosing with Google images is kinda like googling medical symptoms, I'll think my plants have cancer soon.
If it is potassium, I have wood ash from our fire place. Both the stuff that is in there currently and some outside that has been rained on in the sun. Is one better?

I digress "You need to let them grow" without putting them thru so much crap

I'll get a cheap soil test kit, which I neglected to do.

Raises white flag LOL

LOL I hear you. I'm just curious about my random mix of beaver dam soil is all.

Hard to tell since its kinda blurry, but you can get spots like that especially on young plants from over watering, they need a chance for the soil to dry out so the roots can get some O2 and breathe.
