That might be pretty hot for new seedlings but I’m not a hundred percent sure? If it’s regular soil I believe you want your pH at 6.5 but you can have it float between 6.3 and 6.8. I don’t feed any of my plants nutrients for at least three or four weeks when using a good strong soil but for the first 2/ 3 weeks or so especially when they’re real small I just mist the plants and the soil two times a day with pH water. That helps to make sure you aren’t drowning them. Good luck and enjoy your grow ---

Tbh ar 4 weeks I wouldn’t dome the plant. It should be out in the open and building its strength. Also at 4 weeks you could start to think about feeding, ---

When I grew in soil I always did 2 to 3 transplants to bigger pots and caped at a 5 gal pot. Also if it’s in a big pot it takes twice as long to dry out. So lat it dry till you put your finger in up to first nuckle and it comes out dry as well as I would redome her with a 2L pop bottle and spray her lightly. Keep temps around 73 if possiable and let her stay in dome for 2 node growths and then take off dome if she looks happy and small fan above her to make her dance just a little will give her strength for future weight she will gain also what kind of light you useing she looks really small for 4 weeks ---

Ok soil is 6.3ph going in and it should end at 5.9 to 6.5 run out soil less is a range not a set Num range for hydro is 5.5 to 6.5 makeing 6.0 neutral if u try to keep it at 5.8 all the time u will get mag and cal block out at roots and this I have researched the snot out of and since I switched to a range instead of a set num my girls do much better and I’m not going nuts trying to keep it at a set num ---

I just seen you are useing LED lighting with it being so young you need to put like 2 cfl daylight bulbs about 25 to 30 inches from plant I had the same issues when I tried led light had a 1000 watt full spectrum and it was to much light I didn’t want to swap light out at first but I did the cfl light for a few weeks and the growth took off this is me at week 4 flower trust me get a different light the led is going to kill it ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/b/f/bfb920c6ed2be7a91bb774885deb30db569f83b7.jpeg) ---

@jt123, too much water. I had same issue with this girl. 4 weeks old and started to get yellow and droopy. My drain holes in my planters weren’t big enough, your plant looks like mine. ![20180608_172218](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/4/d/4d8b5986f736c9354aa0005665925598dd33676c.jpg) ---
