What are your temps looking like? If i was you i would toss it. Seedlings never really recover when they have barley started.

Sunland soil. its a local brand thats PH pretty right. its an autoflower strain, which i thought wouldnt give much problems. super bummer cuz i just got the seeds in the mail...

Hopefully you got more than 1 seed. I would just start a new one, even if it manages to recover it will probably me deformed.

ouch, looks like pH or maybe a heat problem. next time try to pop the seeds in one of those 2 dollar clone boxes from walmart(its an easier setup to manage so they dont dry out when theyre young), they like humidity until the second node, then take em out and put them in a good place.

we need to know your setup if you want to avoid this, like what are your lights, temp. in the room, nutes(if you used any which i hope you didnt), soil pH, how often you water and why you decide to water, and anything else you mightve done that nature wouldnt have done.

but use rainwater and test the pH meticulously, itll jump to 7.0 randomly. rainwater should work for 3 weeks, dont use water unless its been out for 3 days in sunlight preferably, some smaller plants cant handle the chlorine in our tap water.

but anyway shes done, next time get some black cow and fox farms, maybe some leaves since its getting into fall and you have plenty to get rid of. put all of this in compost and use the black cow to grow the seedling if its not composted by the time you plant another seed. also, dont use nutes

Looks like she dried out. Seedlings that young can dry out within 2 hours depending on your grow room setup. Above post said it well...need some info! I use distilled water for the first week of the seedlings life, then i switch to tap water. You may have to check out how strong your ppm is in your tap water. You may be fine using it, and the plants need some food! I give nutes at week 1...

2.5 weeks

why not use some rainwater, we have an unlimited supply and its packed full of key elements for growth. and you mean organic nutrients from day one right? they dont react well to chemical nutes very well when they're that young.

Yo my guess is you need to use a seed start soil/dirt then
try yo local brand or whatever. Or git some that is good
for weed like a ffof or whatever once yo have a few sets
of leaves!

fox farms is too hot for seeds, too much ferts if mixed with nothing. get some black cow and mix your medium with 10% pearlite or vermiculite(ask hydro stores for samples! they always have pearlite and stuff) 70% black cow and 20% fox farms.

happy frog has very little nutrients and is very perfect, then when i transplant i used ocean forest. I have never had nute burn ever. check my grow.

happy frog might not have too much but some fox farms stuff has a higher concentration. you can pop seed out of soil you dig out of your backyard since they don't need nutes for almost 3 weeks. just make sure its grainy, not like sand.
