So i have a seedling with 2 sets of leaves with one more barely growing. A week ago they were doing great then one day the cotyledons turned yellow and I assumed it was natural because they usually fall off eventually, then my serrated leaves turned yellow, then got a brown tip at the end of the leaf, not edges, then it started to get brittle and crumpled, then it spread to the rest of the leaves. I thought it was a calcium deficiency at first so I smashed some eggshells into really fine pieces then mixed it in my soil, then I looked it up and it could also be a low ph, because acidity mimics a calcium deficiency, so I sprinkled a little baking soda on my soil then watered, the plant hasn't been getting worse since I did these things, but the damage is already done. ALL my leaves are yellow, brittle, and crumpled, but I don't think they're dead. It hasn't grown at all since the sickness started. Do you think it will pull through? Also, will it still be able to grow more leaves if all the current ones are really weak and possibly dead?
Before you ask: I don't have the ph of my water or soil, so I don't know for sure. I'm using miracle gro peat moss and some top soil of hapi gro. In a styrofoam cup
Indoor under 1 cfl, 2 inches away. Watered when dry
