If same leaves in post from couple weeks ago they wont heal, is the newer growth green? First pic, newer growth looks green, another pic of the top?
Then being a month old in small pot it needs feeding

This, and may have some ph issues.

First and second pic is the same plant just two different leaves. Third pic is the plant from a couple weeks and you’re right they won’t come back from it cause those leaves shriveled up and are gone. I was thinking that it might be not enough light. My light is at 50% 18 inches. Is that fine? And yes new growth is pretty and green. What would you feed them?

I did ph my water at 5.8 at first but now it’s at 6.5. So far every mistake I’ve made has been from listening to someone on YouTube. That’s why I haven’t fed them anything

5.8 would be money for soilless type of media, better to be a little higher with ammended soil. Also worth noting that just because you’re applying a certain ph doesn’t mean your media is mainting that ph.

Ok. Would I check the runoff ph for that?

If thwyre healthy and theres not enough light theyll reach up and stretch. I feed what I happened to get for free anyhow so completely biased 100% toward that. That said Id use nutes from a cannabis supply company Jacks FF General Hydro
I meant what npk ratio should I using. For example like a 3-1-1 Brand names don’t impress me either when it comes to fertilizers. If the analysis is the same then it doesn’t matter who makes it. I’ve noticed some have more and different micronutrients than others. And I can’t run down to the friendly neighborhood hydroponics store if you catch my drift lol

My GH is 7-4-10 and a big list of smaller minerals. 4% calcium and 1.5% magnesium.
My GH bloom is 4-8-7 with 4%, 2%.
When I mix a batch it lands at ph 6.8 to 6.6 every time
Thanks! I really appreciate it!

They want bigger pots….

You can compare ph in vs runoff to see where your media is trending.
I agree that guaranteed analysis although not always guaranteed, is what it is. But making sure plants get everything they need is more complicated than nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This usually takes more than 1 product to get a stable concentration of everything you need. Especially when talking about water soluable fertilizers.

I’m a little curious how often you’re watering and how much.

Is it intentional it has not been transplanted to a larger pot? Unless you really want a solo cup plant (I’d wait to try it once you have more experience) transplant to a larger pot

No it’s not intentional. Just a f¥<k up on my part. Bigger pots will be here today. I should have skipped the solo cups and went straight to 3 or 5 gallon pots. From the beginning I went into this grow as more of a learning experience which is a good thing considering none of my white widows made it past two weeks. I’m almost positive that was a seed problem though. They didn’t come from ilgm.
This whole week I’ve been giving them around 40ml a night. Some more and some less depending on how dry the soil is. Last week I was watering about 120ml every 3 nights but noticed some were drying up quicker than others that’s why I switched to every night. What’s your thoughts?
I prefer wet to dry cycles. I will let my plant all but totally dry out before watering. Consistent small amounts of water are a good way to compact the dirt and suffocate your root zone. I just water with pH’d tap water til I get a little bit of runoff out the cup - then wait for it to dry for a couple days til the cup is nice and light.
I think if you transplant into new soil most of the problems will go away
