Too far from the light source thats why she is so tall...She put all of the energy to grow closer to the light insted of focusing on growing the leaves....Also be carefull not to overwater because she looks kinda droopy on the picture

The light is one inch away from the plant, i moved it closer a 2 or 3 days ago. The light is only 100 wts. I ordered a 600wt to replace. Soil is stuff a friend gave me(ill attacha pic for ref), do you have any recs on decebt cheap soil? Should i keep current soil and mix in perlite? Water only when dry as in wait till the soil is dusty? Thanks for the help and sorry for all the questions lol.

Your seedling looks perfectly fine to me. When you do transplant, if you think the stem is too far, just plant it about an inch deeper.
Also I'd leave the light as-is. You should let the plant grow into the light if there's sufficient light, which 100 watts is way more than enough. Just go by the light manufacturers recommendation of distance for seedlings.
Also, most people only get deficiencies when they over-water and rot the root hairs. The rotting root hairs are why plants get a nutrient deficiency since the root hairs are rotted and can no longer uptake nutrients normally. A nutrient deficiency is almost never due to an actual lack of a nutrients. People over-watering then go on this downward spiral of trying to correct a nutrient deficiency, which none existed in the first place, and it was their overwatering that caused it all. Now that you know, you won't be 'that guy'.
Hope that helps.

Here are some current pics. Humidity is at 60-65%. The ph of the water and run off is where its supposed to be. I think ive over watered before ...ive toned back the watering, but idk why the leaves look dry and spotty

Open some vents. Try to get around mid 70's and back the light off about 6".
Just speculation though but looks like heat and light stress.
Will be better once your fan gets in. But your damaged leaves won't heal fyi.
And make sure your fan isn't blowing on the plant
