My 3 week old had spots on the lowest leaf didn't see any results with the Epsom salt then one of my friends (not the smartest) waters it with apple vinegar on accident of course. It was fine for about 24 hrs then a different friend waters it(shes pretty smart but has never heard of root rot n thinks u need to drench them every day). So over watering, apple vinegar and the spots which i think is mg def. Is there anything i can do for it or is to the compost pile with this one?

Root system looks destroyed....
You can put a humidity dome over it and it will probably open back up again.
But why bother? just start a new one.
The root system is probably unable to take up water. the humidity dome would help the plant get hydrated. if you flushed with enough distilled, transplanted, and then domed it... it might hydrate itself and grow new roots, eventually.

I would not bother though.

I had genetics I could not lose that had roots destroyed by aphids... i did the above and it worked. with an unproven seedling though... don't even know if it is good or female... not even worth it.

But, that method above is good knowledge. You can kill your root system, and as long as you act soon enough you can save the plant... you basically are just rooting it like it is a clone. In a situation like root aphids, you obviously want to kill all the bugs first.

I once had a friend babysit a plant for me... it was the only plant i brought with me into this city.... somehow... a fucking bottle of windex got spilt in the dirt.... i I Have no fucking clue how that scene played out... she felt so bad that I just let it go like it was no big deal. Hilarious though. A fucking bottle of windex, spilt into a plant? !? How?

Seen your pic. She looks like Hell and going down fast.

Taking that into consideration.

JMO, I would up root her gently. Rinse the roots and re transplant into new soil. Water and relax.
DON"T OVER WATER, NO NUTES OR ANYTHING. Just PH balanced water. 6.5

She just may come around.

JMHO

They might be fun to smoke with, but tell them to keep their mitts off unless they don't want anything to smoke.
I agree with Hank, It's still young so just cut your losses.
Not a lot invested yet.
Next time, plant it higher in container, get your lights closer, and probably more of them, and put a fan on it (Not directly) to help strengthen the stem so you don't have to use a tent stake or whatever that is.

Fuck it, that's how you learn.
You should have seen the result of my first brake job on my truck. :-P If you have never seen a tire come off of a vehicle while moving along at about 40 mph, you're missing out. I got shit for that one for years... rightfully so.

Keep your veg plants under longer hours of light.
20 hrs on.
4 hrs off

flower
12 on
12 off

Only take off fan leaves that are over 50% dead... if more than 20% of your leaves are dying, you have a serious problem that needs to be addressed. Especially if they are not lower leaves.
