My plants have a deficit I need help

The second pic looks like the Cannabis Mosaic Virus, next time before germinating any seed, dunk your seeds under 112F to 115F water for 10 to 15 seconds to remove the risk of the Cannabis Mosaic Virus entering your seedlings tap root when the cannabis seed splits open. And after you do that wash your hands before handling the seeds you have dunked in 112F to 115F water. Oh' yeah, I called it the Cannabis Mosaic Virus, but others might call it TMV or HMV or whatever, but in Botany there is kind of a consensus that one should just call it the "Name of the plant it has infected" Mosaic Virus, because there is no clear defining "Mosaic Virus". In other words, any plant that is infected with the virus, then is classified as having the "plants name" mosaic virus, (ie; lettuce mosaic virus, cucumber mosaic virus, tobacco mosaic virus, hemp mosaic virus, cannabis mosaic virus, etc etc, etc).
And the last pic looks like the plant is having to deal with a high nutrient rich medium. Yeah, most of them are having to deal with that. And the long stem ones, should be gently dug up and reburied up to their suckers, well that is what I would do for those!

Is any remedy for the mosaic virus and it can spread to my other plants
There is no known remedy for any of the some 700 different mosaic viruses. But like I said before, those so-called some 700 hundred different mosaic viruses are all the same thing, even the viruses genetic markup is the same when you look at it in every kind of vegetable / fruiting plant that it has the ability to infect, that's why I said scientist should have simply defined the "Mosaic Virus", and then state, that the virus can infect some 700 different vegetable / fruiting plants, instead of calling each infection an all together different mosaic virus!
Anyhow... like I was saying there is no remedy for the virus, but it will not overly harm the plant or effect anyone that consumes any part of the plant. It's just a visual deformity that will appear sporadically in a plant that's infected by it. And in the case of the cannabis / hemp plant, it displays its self sporadically in the plant(s) fan leafs and can also make some buds, or simply bud sugar leafs, look rather strange! But I will add, when the virus shows its self that quick in a seedling, I will usually just kill her off as I don't have time to play with sick plants!
Other than that... if you take a clone from a plant that has the mosaic virus, the clone will also have the virus. But if you use a male or female plant for breeding that is infected with the mosaic virus, the mosaic virus cannot be passed through breeding / pollination. Why, because it's nothing more than an infection! That is caused by an airborne pathogen that attaches its self to the outer shell of a seed and when the seed is germinated, (splits open), it eats its way into the seedlings tap root to infect the plant! That's why most agricultural vegetable / fruiting type seed companies coat their seeds with a 5% to 7% solution of trisodium phosphate, (brand name: Thiram), which is done because its the only 100% method that stops the mosaic virus from infecting vegetable / fruiting type plants grown from seeds.

Thank you man so is best for me to just kill it before it spread it to my other plants

Just ease up on using a hot mix when your plants are so young. They are fragile at this stage. Just need to get their root system going, build some strength and slowly introduce your macro/micros.
