When was the last time you watered and how much did you give it?
What size pot?

Yesterday. I also watered it with a blood meal tea. Maybe too much nitrogen? I gave it roughly 32oz of water in a 3gal container.

Heres another pic. Also temps were at around 77f under a 260w XW QB. I lifted her up and cranked up the driver to increase temps. Also put a fan right on the air pot to get dry it out faster.

It's possible it did not like the tea you gave it. It looks like a quality soil. What brand soil is that?

Roots organic. She looked normal if not a bit small yesterday. I gave hee the tea and a few hours lster the leafs reached up to the sky! All of them! Lol it looked like she was surprised or vwey happy! Lol this morning... mot so much. The reason i gave her the tea was the leafs were yellowing. The yellow all but gone, but now she looks sick.

Give her a day or too and more water. She is building her roots and probably didn't need to be feed yet but she'll take it. "Natures first green is gold" Once her roots sink in her new growth will appear yellow for the first few hours of light.

The info you gave so far should help a lot. I thought maybe you were in fox farm ocean forest or something like that where a plant that size would need nothing but water.
Roots organic is different, I haven't used it. It is coco based and probably a lot like Pro Mix HP but I'm really not sure.
With the info you gave I'm sure there is someone familiar with your medium.
I'm wondering if she might want to be watered again but I'm just guessing.
I just saw the post from NaturalFarmer as I'm typing this a solid adviser I'd follow along with.
Good Luck!

I dont belive roots organic is coco based. You think i should add more water? I though perhaps I'd take her outside today and let the summer heat dry her out a bit. I watered her two days in a row. I didnt want to but figured she needed some nitrogen and she responded well until this morning.

What I'm reading is the original brand roots organics soil is coco based and the 707 formula is peat and coco based.

As long as she isnt dry I would let her be and get as much light as you can on her. If you go straight sun she may burn from UV so give her a little cover. The slowest part of growing IMO is watching that seedling move but once they kick it in, it gets fun.

I ran my hand around the soil seems fine not too wet, maybe even a little dry but I honestly feel lile I over watered it. It was fine until i gavw it water two days in a row

She def didn't like the tea .
Step1 don't feed her anything else for another 2/3weeks
Step2 poke some wholes in the soil around the roots to help her get some oxygen
Step3 taking her outside would be great but like he said give her some shade but she really need the breeze not sun light
Good luck and poke the wholes now for faster recovery

its still a pretty small plant in a pretty large pot. it will take it a few days to grow enough roots to feel like it can start growing above ground again.the next time you water, try about half as much, right around the base of the plant. it will keep the plant going, but make it stretch out some roots to look for more. do that a couple of times, then water the whole pot, after there's some roots in it to absorb some of it.

Back off watering if you feel you over watered.

Bingo! If she was fine until feeding the blood meal tea then it's not hard to deduce what caused your plant to go from healthy to looking the way it is. If the only thing that changed was feeding the blood meal tea then that is more than likely the culprit.

Your soil has everything a plant that size needs for awhile.
"Amended with only the highest quality organic ingredients including bat guano, premium earth worm castings, fish bone meal, feather meal, green sand, mycorrhizae, glacial rock dust, soybean meal, humic acid and many more"

The blood meal was a nitrogen bomb. Plain water for awhile.

"Your soil has everything a plant that size needs for awhile."
xtsho is correct. You don't need to add any nutes for a while, probably for several weeks. Most commercial potting soils are already N rich (often referred to as 'hot') and really don't need anything for a while.
Just water and it should be alright.
