Sick Baby Plant :/

Hello people! Hope you're having an excellent grow out there..

I am having issues with my baby girl, its an autoflowering thc bomb feminized, 1 week and 5 days old.

Her leaves are bent down, like no life and two days ago her leaves began to yellow in the top, I am worried. At first I thought it was nitrogen toxicity but then figured out wasnt that, then I thought it was overwatering and I started watering less often and nothing she keep getting worse but then Realized than underwatering also has the same symptoms as overwatering and began to change my watering method.

The last bit of grow she gave was a more thin stick than other she gave first. Ive using dyna gro nutrients but I started using plain pH balanced water because I felt that nutrients werent doing any good.

Im using a 4x4 grow tent with 400w LED GROW light at 5.2ft height, perlite and soil mix with worm castings and a bit of coco coir, 2 gallons pot fabric.

My personal views atm are that I feel that soil may be draining to fast, to make an idea for u, if I water now after 60 to 120 seconds the water is already drained down, as for 30% to 40%. Ive been trying few alternatives and nothing

Today when I woke up, the was worst than ive ever seen her and decided to contact the community for any ideas or help!

Any information you need to get a clearer idea dont mind asking please

Thank u, hope someone can help! :dance013:

You are loving that poor thing to death.
Overwatered and overfed.
Any decent dirt will have plenty of nutrition for at least a few weeks, you should not be fertilizing at all that early, unless in coco or similarly inert medium.
Small pots work better for seedlings, once established transplant to larger pot.
 
Next time establish your seedling in a much smaller pot. Transplant to the next size up when time. This way the case roots can absorb the water in the appropriate sized container without the extra soil of the bigger pot staying wet.

Seems like you killed it with too much feed.
What's your soil mix and what did you feed until now?
 
Tiny seedling in a giant pot full of moisture, with a root system to tiny to absorb all that extra water. Your soil is suffering from anaerobic conditions. That is your problem...
