What are you feeding them? What soil are you using? they look nutrient burned/PH issues... rather than light burn. Has the light always been 45cm away?

@PharmaZ, check week 2. Week 3 is from the failed grow. Just can’t figure out how to delete weeks. So the new sprouts are 14 days old now.

@PharmaZ, my soil is a mix of happy frog and ocean Forrest. Haven’t given any nutes yet just filtered water PHed to 6.6

@CropsNjunk, so your using good soil, did you add any perlite for aeration? You need a good volume of perliteunless you transplant into a bigger pot... You should be watering 1-2 cups every 2 days for a week till they have a few sets of leaves after then you can drench the pot. It will take a few days to dry at first. There should be no reason to PH your water at this stage when not adding nutes. Some will argue this of course... You just let the water sit out for a day room temp is best. The soil contains micro organisms that break down organic matter releasing the nutrients in soluble form to feed to your plants... Using chemicals kills them, stops them from reproducing and or "working" If growing in soil you should use some form of carbohydrates like unsulphured molasses with a plain water feed, no nutrients just molasses and water. This feeds the micro heard so they can multiply The soil also contains certain minerals to buffer the PH to a suitable level for growing cannabis. You only ever need to PH your water when you you're using high quantitys of chemical nutrients. Some brands are PH balanced out of the bottle. Of course we are talking strictly soil.

@PharmaZ, I did not add any extra perlite, ocean forest has some but apparently not enough haha. I’m in 5gallon Airpots so hopefully that gets enough air to the roots still because drainage still seems alright. But I will totally add more perlite next time, thanks for the advice man and happy growing. Until next week!

Well, it's bad to stunt them at this stage. However, this plant doesn't appear to be dying at all. For reference, I try to look at it as if the roots were the real plant. The stems are its supply lines, and the leaves are its armor. AFAIK, when it got burnt (looks like nitrogen toxicity and perhaps not enough air to roots, overwatering or packed soil or w/e, not an expert) it let the armor take the damage. as intended. This will affect its root growth, probably, and during a critical time, but it won't kill it. So long as it can draw enough power, it should continue to repair itself -- and grow root structure. It might be stunted, but I've stunted more than one plant myself. If nothing else it's a good takeaway; start multiple plants even if you end up culling the ones you don't use or cannot fit. Also if it was a photo, you'd have a chance to give it an extra week or two in veg. The stress might delay the flower onset for an autoflower, which would be for the best at this point. If anyone else has a better concept of how all this works (i try to just think "early veg is super important") I'd be more than happy to re-think my interpretation. I am not a doctor.

@Jaindoh, i really appreciate the in depth response. I still have high hopes. Because the stem and roots I believe are still in good shape. Thanks for the words of encouragement.
