Calmag? And iron??? Why???
A tiny seedling like that doesn't need nutes in soil yet.
What is that foxfarms? There's already a ton of feed in there already. Way too hot for seedlings out of the bag. I say overfed and locked out before she could even open her eyes.
Why even use calmag ....? Are you running ro? And even then I wouldnt be adding calmag to a seedling.
One of the biggest rookie mistakes. Calmag.
Did you give it the full feed what it said on the bottle. ? If you did look out. Things gona get much worse before they get any better (if they do at all)
Once a leaf burns or yellows and crisps etc it will never come back. That leaf is toast.

Ya stop using that calmag pronto. That fox farms is hot. It means there's alot of nutrition already in the soil. You shouldn't plant seedlings in hot soil, nevermind feeding them things they don't need on top of it so just cut that out and why worry about distilled water? Is your tap water really high ppms? Do you have an accurate tds meter? Just water man with reg ol tap water. In a few weeks you'll notice the growth slow a bit (usually around 3-4 weeks) then you can begin feeding low ppm IF needed. I don't grow in fox farms too many issues with it.

Haha. This poor dude.

You're probably going to have to start over, but that's not a big deal. Just figure out your soil / nutrient situation first.

I don't have any problems with FF soil, but I've heard people say it depends where you get it from. I'm still using the FFOF that I originally bought 3 1/2 years ago as my base.

Where it comes from and batch to batch. They have multiple mixing facilities and they source compost and other materials from the various regions the facilities are in so there can be variation from bag to bag.

For instance this is a facility in California. If you buy FF on the East Coast it's not coming from here. It's coming from their South Carolina facility.

I'd recommend at least a decent meter.
Of course a BlueLab or Apera would be better, but he'd probably get an idea even with a $5 one.

I had a water test here so I've never needed to use a tds or ppm pen. Whatever you call them. But I bought a cheap one for the he'll of it. Maybe it's EC. Like I said I don't use one. My water report said around 140 or somet. I'd have to pull it out again to double check.

If he's using city water it shouldn't be hard to get the tds on the Internet. If he's got a well he's gonna need to test it.

I should see what the cheap meter I have says for fun.

It's funny cause I wouldn't grow without one. I use it everyday. We use diff methods though, I get that
