Opinions appreciated, Losing my front runner.

I planted 4 seedlings and out of those 2 actually sprouted, and now the one that initially showed the most progress has stopped. It at first was outgrowing all of them and was doing just fine till it reached a little smaller size than its current state. Soon after it stopped growing on the top nodes like it was. Woke up this morning and the tips are brown and its doing some serious wilting.

I water by the weight of the hempy and alternate waterings and feedings. Its fox farm grow big.

Its sitting in a hempy bucket 3:1 perlite/verm and i added some blood meal/pulverized lime.
My other one has tripled in its feedings, and this one doesn't even drink a 1/3.

I added bloodmeal and pulverized lime to it since it was having problems earlier and i'm a noob.

I've been thinking it over and I probably overloaded it with N from the bloodmeal, or the lime is keeping the ph too high up. Either way its not feeding, and all i can think of is replanting it to its final pot and hope for the best. Any other ways to approach this?

Anyfeedback appreciated.

One of the most important things is knowing your pH... you can lock out vital nutes if you don't maintain a good pH... mine generally stays around 5.8-6.2... I would def check that first and would greatly consider flushing with pH balanced water... hope this helps

Just checked it and it read 5.7-6.0. Thats acceptable ph for hempys right?
My ph meter also reads ferts lvls and its reading low.

Hmm.. completely overlooked flushing.

It seems to have perked up a bit, but it does that than gets worse. Think i'm gonna do a hydrogen peroxide flush.

Thankts man, we'll see how this goes.

too much N; i do believe you're right. the stems look purple; a sign of P lock-out, which can be caused by an abundance of N. a change of medium may just be trick, especially if you planned a re-pot any way. good luck with your damsel in distress.

Well guys it's been about a week and I might just be optimistic but it's lookin better.
I ended up transplanting her and have been only watering her.
I got on fox farms website and it said big bloom is weak in nutes and works great with roots. Mixed up a 1:3 nutes/big bloom and smothered the roots. Also watered the actual plant thought if the roots were locked up the leaves might be able to take some in.
Heres a pic.

Before you underwatering, now your burning it. Flush then no nutes for a week, bring them back -20%.

Well its my first attempt at growing ANYTHING i'm just now getting the hang of it, but hey I must be doing something right.
Its growing again and just shot up its first lime green node, and the leaves have opened up.
I thought starting out with the 1:3 ratio would also be a little much but its in a 3.5 gallon bucket and i watered it to the brim. I gave it about 400mls of the mix which is minimal when you take in the whole picture.
