Whats going on?? -- First Grow

BTW sorry about the picture size i have to go to school i cant resize again...!

Ok so this is a DNA Fem Lemon Skunk:
-3 1/2 weeks old
-under 6 cfl's t5's about 4 inches above
-organic soil
-water it every 4 days

Ok so this is what i know: at first i thought it was over watering because i did go a little crazier with the sprayer, i let the plant cool off and now only water it every 4 days
Also its not becuase the lights are too close because they use to hang about 13inches and this still happened..
i dont know the pH...
Its in a 3 gal bucket (rookie mistake) but i dont think thats the probem b/c the other seedlings that are in party cups next to it are slowly turning yellow also
theres also a gnat infestation but i have 2 bowls of vinegar and change them out every 2 days

i dont know if yall can make out whats in the picture but basically the leaves first turn yellow then eventually turn to a crispy brown... its slowly happeneing to every leaf.. what should i do :(?


 
Btw it's in my bathroom. Temps aren't too high because we have a vent in there and I'm not sure about exact humidity but I do shower everyday and some times let the water run to build humidity. I hope someone knows what's up...

Wow, that is the most fucked up seedling I ever seen!

I honestly cannot tell you what is wrong because it looks like you have everything wrong. :|

That is a lot more than nute burn or PH problems. That is like Armageddon with plauges and shit.
 
Haha well what should I do... Everyday another leaf turns yellow then the next day it turns brown but it's weird because the plant is still growing... No nutes are given btw. What am I doing wrong? My other seedlings are also starting to get a yellow shade I'd like to prevent them turning like this if I could... Thanks

Give them some food, cant hurt at this point. Have no idea what type of soil you are using but it looks like it could use some perlite for better drainage. If it were me I would start over.

agreed. it looks like he's growing in mud. that thing has been stressed to shit i would just start a new seed. and GET A PH METER, don't bother to grow without one

ok what kinda of soil are you using.

ok first off the yellowing is hard to pin down it could be any of several defficiencies.
which is problematic cuz your also suffering fert burn.

1st. stop feeding it, and if your spraying fert on the leaves stop entirely.

2. if your using maricle grow anything stop, invest in a better fert. orchid fert works good.

3. how much are you watering that 3 gallon bucket, as a seedling, unless its way hot it only needs about 3/4 a pint every second or third day (moniter closely) u got drain holes?

4. you need to flush with ph corected water 6.5-7.5. first add 1-2 gallons of water slowly, wait for it to saturate. then add another 3-4 gallons of water slowly.
to deal with excess water after that set the bucket on a dry towel after it drains a bit. capillary action will get the excess
