Yes its kinda rediculous lol. I will follow the right method next time. I wonder if these will survive or just be super slow to recover or always be stunted.
QUICK: WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY 9 DAY SEEDLINGS?

ahahaha no I didn't leave in the sun, I just took them out to the shade for an hour today so my electrician can add a ground wire in the grow room power supply (since I got electrocuted yesterday -- an incident that caused me to look exactly like your avatar @Bernie420 and by the way, I was def going for the white-room insane asylum look in my grow room; now I just need those padded walls!!!).
I did some scouring online and read mixed reviews about using the rooting powder, there was nothing definitive. So far, it seems to haven't made an effect after a couple days.
Today I took the bold move (yes I couldn't leave them alone, again) of cutting off the growth and grow tips that were not recovering / dried out / looking diseased and nute-locked. Hopefully this will help, or maybe I've set the seedlings back again?
I know I sound so serious guys, even on these small plants --- I have a good reason, I am working on a university research project... For real.
Okay so next up: today I got two soil testers that arrived in the mail. One of them consistently reads 6-6.5 and the other consistently reads 4.5-5. Any idea which model (if you have used similar models before) might be more accurate?
Also I must admit that my pH pen tester is a cheap one that I dont really trust (and perhaps cannot be bothered to contantly calibrate or keep in a solution) so I'm going to be using the strips from now on... The pH test strips are very cheap, and I think pretty accurate?

im talking about using rotting powder after you have roots
PH drops are even better than the strips.
you know when you cut them and now it has to take energy to heal that cut right? on a sick seedling.
just leave them alone other than watering it and checking for bugs. one month, maybe sign up for some yoga classes?
Might want to get some cuts or pop another set of seeds to keep you busy.

@TJ_BASS thanks for the reminder to keep it simple. At the same time, if these insects are stressing my plants and have caused the problem from the start, surely I'll be smart to halt the infestation naturally, now.
I do need to get to the source of this problem and root it out before I put my precious new Wedding Cake Feminized seeds in this room. God forbid those seedlings would suffer the same fate as these 707 Headbands.
I've started a small thread in the pest management section to discuss how I will best try to tackle this.
Constructive feedback is always welcome. This is my first indoor grow since 20 years, and I'm finding it fun to encounter new problems and then figure out what needs to be fixed until success comes about... More important, I won't give up and just ignore pest management, which is one of the main pillars of growing. Ignoring pest management, I think would be a terrible idea here? What do others think?

What bug? What to do?
Please help? Are these spiter mites? Shall I just spray with neem and disinfect the grow room?
