I had issues with my plant a couple of days ago and I saw some mold forming on top of my soil.. I thought the drainaige was bad so I tried to replace some of the soil with a new mix but I accidentally rip some part of my soil in the process.. I finally change the soil and it had good drainaige. Fed it and then the next day I see my plant like this.. So I figured it could probably get back on on its feet again.. But so far it's getting worse by the hour and I can't seem to do anything about it.. Anyone an help???

I'm sorry to say but I agree OP...that plant is done.
You could try to carry her through, but the cost/effort will far outweigh the return.
Better luck on your next run...again I'm sorry, but it only my opinion of course.

I understand... But even if it got better I can't take some cuttings and start over or??

Seems like you fried the shit out of it after you transplanted. They don't like high nutes at that level. You may be able to recover it, by misting fresh water and giving it water only until the rootbase develops, if it does. It's suffering transplant stress as well as over nutes. It's not looking good OP but there is always a slight chance of recovering, it will take a while. I don't think it would hermie from stress given it's so young into veg it could possibly recover, had this happened in flower the stress would hermie or kill it 100%

Possibly....getting good clones from her would be challenging....at least for me.
Whichever you decide to do, I wish you the best.

It would be impossible to take a clone right now. If it recovers and new growth comes back, in 3-4 weeks if it lives you could maybe take some cuts.
Taking clones is a little bit of a finnicky process, the mother has to be healthy and filled with nutes, but not over fed. And If she is underfed or deficient they will root less often.
Just flush and mist with fresh water for a week at least
Then try getting her back on a feeding schedule with quarter strength Grow+CaliMag and eventually work their way up, you don't want this to happen again. NEVER ever use nutrients directly after transplanting. Water them in as soon as you transplant, give them 4-7 days before giving them light nutes at least. Too little is better than too much.

I'm one for not giving up like most do, but mainly because I'm cheap and hate buying seeds...hence the name I use here...lol
I'd chop off as may good clones as I could and root them...then grow out the best of the best from there...you may get 1 or 10 or none to root, but worth trying.
Starting another seed and growing to that size again would prob take just as much time if not longer, but not 100% sure on that...lol

I have revived worse looking plants OP. As long as you have green shoots with leaves still, I believe in you.
By the way, what did you feed her? And what is the soil?

You absolutely right and I agree with you. It's alot of effort and you could just get another clone and it would grow 3x as fast. If this was your only plant however, it's a good learning experience.
In my opinion, I never like to give up or start over if I can help it. While it may not be worth the effort in reviving it, I think it is a rewarding experience and if it does live he will learn alot more about how to fix problems and avoid them in the first place.

Looks like you've got a raft of varying issues. I'd kill it and start over.

Even if the plant recovers, it's been through so much stress that caused near death, it's likely to hermie anyhow.

Looks quite bad. I do agree it may be best to keep at this plant and make it work. There may be a lot to be learned from your mistakes on this grow. Learn these lessons on this poorly looking plant, then future grows will turn out better.

If you're using Fox Farms soil try cutting it in half with some "seed starting" soil from Home Depot/Menards/Lowes etc... for the beginning of the plants life. It can't be miracle grow or have nutrients

And hold off on the "tomato nutrients" at least until it's a lot bigger. It doesn't need extra nutrients when starting in fresh FF soil or any other soil that already contains the nutrients necessary. My experience with fox farm soil is that you have at least about 3 weeks where you can "water only" without adding nutes.

The Fox Farms is too strong out of the gate and needs to be cut in half for seedlings/cuttings... maybe add some perlite as well for drainage. Once it's big and healthy you can consider transplanting to a container with 100% fox farm soil.

Not sure what else may have happened but cover your basics.... 65-85 degrees Fahrenheit... 50-70% humidity for Veg. (often overlooked but makes a huge difference.) Adequate lighting... Air exchange in your tent or room... etc... Also your soil looks fairly wet... make sure your container has drain holes and that you're letting it dry out all the way before watering again.

We all fail the first few times usually, get back on that horse OP.
