I know these plants are pretty screwed this is just my learning experience I have 5 of each seed and I’m growing 1 of each at a time so I can restart better every 4/5 weeks. like! I already started to germinate more but I kept the biggest plant, this small plant is a photo given to my by friend of a friend

PS I had a terrible PH problem I made a compost tea and it made it look way better but now my lower new growth is very yellow

the photo plant had the ph problems too is this just way over watered sine the solo cup doesn’t really drain i tried to attempt kind of a flush with the compost

No nutes needed until they are up and putting out full leaves and then you need to be light with it depending on soil.

It's way too soon to have PH problems. Question is.. do you PH your water?
If the PH is out of range.. they won't eat.. which could be the cause of the yellowing.

How often are you watering? & with how much volume?
What soil are you using?

Yes I know this is my first grow ever, I’m learning as I go that’s why im only doing 2-3 plants per batch/ trial run im hands on learner I do as much research as possible but cheaped out on my first ph tester and it clearly coated me I upgraded since was just getting any information or Feed back while waiting for 3 to germinate and try again.

Put a few holes in the bottom and cover with a piece of paper towel to keep the soil in. You should elevate the cup from it's saucer if there is a tight enough seal between the two..

Was a mixture 2 parts potting soil 1 part Worm castings and 1 part ocean forest,
I was completely lost as to how much to water in beginning stages I for sure over watered..
Next run I was going to add 1 or 1.5 parts perlite to help oxygenate and avoid over watering

I used started peat pots last time. Then directly planted them in a 3.5 gal pot. The pet pot dried out faster that the adjacent soil. Next grow I'll stage the pots in different sizes up to flower time with wider, deeper pots each time.

planters appear to be a little dry. keeping the soil moist is crucial when germinating seeds, you don't want them drying out.
I usually pre-soak the container until it doesn't hold any more water and plant the seed, covering it with a ziplock bag to keep the moisture in. Once they brake the ground, I usually don't have to water for up to a week, depending on temps in the tent.
