I planted over 3 weeks ago from seeds that came from some bud that i germinated in water. I made a mistake of putting more than one seed in a pot and used two small pots. The one pot with 3 seeds grew maybe a few inches but after a wk or 2 it started fall over and die. The other small pot that i keep by my window for light has 2 seeds in it, the one grew as much as a finger length and looks like it had a seed on it but has fallen over to the dirt. The other seed is some what standing but is falling over. I water morning and night with a spray bottle. I tested the ph with a electric meter that said 7.0. And i had plant nutrient test set where you mix water with the dirt and the powder they give you. I tested the ph level with this kit and it says 8.0. Which i know is high. If this whats the problem what can i do? I havent but i can test the nitrogen, potash,phosphate. I also have plant food that has these and wonder if i should use it. Also i use the soil from my garden that grows veggies good
Thanks, im new to this so any help is appreciated. Im getting seeds soon in the mail and want to get this plant growing right before starting another plant.

Welcome to the community.
I would get them in proper cannabis soil that is pH buffered.
Seedlings need no nutrients.
Seedlings also need very little water and usually do best with no water in the soil and a clear dome (cut pop bottle or clear solo cup turned upside down) which you mist in several times a day.
The last point is important in your case as it looks like they are damping off, which is a symptom of overwatering.
One plant per pot (also very important.)

Seedlings at that stage don’t really need alot of water… they pull moisture through their leaves… you have to be careful and avoid dampening off…

@MidwestGuy has you covered… you are in great hands… follow the instructions provided and we will go from there.
Thanks, i was thinking of buying a kit from apotforpot.com. also i read how soil with coco is good.
You think i can move the plant into a cup without damaging it?
I would watch for a few days to see if the plants come around. You don’t want to transplant a weak plant.
Welcome to the community! Others have you covered, happy growing!

whats the temps by the window? At night around where I live it would kill them.
I try to keep it at 70. My room isnt insulated and winters are cold.
