Can someone identify whats wrong?

If a seedling looks like that then something is drastically wrong with the fundamentals, it could be the light, it could be temperature, faulty PH/TDS meters, etc. It's hard to mess up a seedling this quickly so something is way off. Without knowing everything he is doing, I would guess overwatering. What is the temperature in there?
1 liter of water per day….

My take would be overwatering combined with ph being off, likely causing a ph induced deficiency of P. You dont need any P, it needs to be in proper absorption range and not overwatered.

It doesnt show light burn but low light intensity would be smart while they recover.

I’m thinking we are being trolled
You are told to run ph at 5.9 to 6.5 and
You agree you should run at 5.8 :wall:
bro you obviously read incorrectly, I was following cocoforcannabis guide, it says for seedlings day 1-9 start with 6.5 ph then work down to 5.8, so far my last feeding was 6.3, I have raised the light and I'm watering appropriately, and I've fed calmag at ph 5.8, things seem better, but I still don't know which one it is.

temps are provided 68-72, light is raised, tds and ph are working perfectly and callibrated, everything is provided in the thread my friend, plus this is coco so it's inert with 0 nutrients.

Main problem is that your pictures seedlings would be considered 3 day plants.

Holy shit no wonder, seedlings really prefer 75plus warm and sheltered

Calmag has nitrogen and those tiny plants weren’t ready for the amounts you gave them
Which means a few things
Fed too much too early
Temps too low and root growth not enough to create foliage that benefits from light
Worse case permanent stunted growth in my view

edit : to be clear
I am just guessing cause I wouldn’t do any of the things you have already done unless I was playing with bag seeds for practice, I guess

Ph really isn't that important unless u are growing in rockwool or clay or some other pure hydro system.
If ur in coco or soil anything from 5.5 to 7.5 will b fine. Just make sure u aren't using water that's too hard as your base or u will get nuts lockup

While I agree on the ph not being a big deal
Growing in soil water hardness is a nonissue
If it were farms wouldn’t exist but more importantly We can’t be telling folks soil grows need r/o or soft water
I run 8.2 ph base and water hard as a rock with zero issues

don’t even get me started on my thoughts on growing in clear containers
:lol:
