Seedling looking ill

Hey everyone, noticed my White Lemon seedling is looking a bit ill. Keep in mind this is the only one out of 5 that popped, sadly... Its planted in coco, perlite, and a little dolomite lime. Its been in a tent with a t5 on it, current temps are 72-77 F. and humidity levels of 44%-48%. Not sure what kind of stress it is going through really, Ive brought the light up a little bit away from it and have just been using straight h20 to feed and the last two days I added some super thrive but thats it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

Sounds to me like a stress free environment. But bring the light back down to it and this is a seedling... Shouldn't need much.

Younglings should be started in a "seed starter mix"...that lime you threw in there is probably killing it...while some strains can handle the heat, some can't and do just what this one is doing...those little round leaves is all the nutrients and fertilizers that lil girl needs till they start to wilt, which usually means it's got a few sets of real leaves and is ready for some 1/4 strength nutes...and the soil looks wet don't be over watering it will cause it to "damp off"...soggy roots leads to root rot...

Good info and thank you, I didnt think of the dolomite lime but it totally makes sense. Not much I can do right now about that unless I want to try and move it and that sounds risky as is lol. I have just been giving it enough water to stay damp so I dont think Ive been over watering.

Yes it is overwatering. You shouldnt keep the medium moist, let it dry more.
