I assume somethings wrong?

Lol it's not over-watered...I don't know why woody insists that. I am very cautious about watering. If anything, i under water. But I think nute burn or water pH is most likely... I will get better pics in a sec.

its because im right

So do you all recommend transplanting now? How would I do it? and what soil would be safe?

In your initial post you mentioned you were "not measuring pH". Are you still not measuring pH? That could be your problem right there. Make sure all water hitting the plants is between 6.5-6.8. Then test the runoff. I suspect your runoff is going to be under 6.

I just sprouted 10 seedlings in FFLW and did not experience anything close to what you are. I always add a little extra perlite, dolomite lime, and even a few handfulls of FFOF. Zero problems.

It also looks like you are using an HPS light for your seedlings. I would pickup a cheap CFL fixture with a more blue 6500K spectrum light.

In terms of what to do right now, I would transplant to a 1gl pot. Use a mix of FFLW (50%) Perlite (30%) and FFOF (20%). Add 3 tea spoons dolomite lime per gallon of soil mix and mix well. Make sure you only use plain pH'ed water for the first 2-3 weeks and you should be good to go.

I am using two cheap 100w equivalent CFLs. I dunno why everyone keeps assuming HPS. pH tester should be here by the end of the day. I'll have to see what it says....

I dunno man..... if it's gonna be a shitty plant, just let it be a shitty plant. If it's gonna fix itself and be awesome, then let it do that. I wouldn't fux w/ it too much - I think that's what caused the problems in the first place. As for you weird growth formations, I have seedlings that do that shit once in a while.... One of my Pineapple Express plants is doing it but pulling through, it should turn out excellent (like the other weird ones that pulled through) but it will look a tad funny by the end of flower, just a tad. However, my Nepalese seed (looks like it's all balled up) may not pull through. And why would I want to smoke a seedling that doesn't want to produce amazing bud? I would not sir, I would not. GL.

Just realized I don't have any sort of pH buffing solution, pH up, pH down, etc.... So I'm not going to be able to do anything when I test it lol fuck

Edit: I guess I can use white vinegar to lower the pH if need be?

Also, I know you're supposed to test water before and after it travels through the pot. Does that mean if the water is coming out of the pot at an relatively extreme pH that you compensate next time you water ??

I have an area 51 I was waiting to put them under. Do you think I should try throwing them under that @ 65w and see what happens? I don't know the exact spectrum or lumens on the CFLs they're under....

One of the number one things you need to do when growing is make sure your pH is in line. If your not checking your pH then I guarantee that's your problem. It's probably way too low. Seriously, get a meter and some pH up/down and get it to 6.8. If your runoff is less than that flush with a higher pH water until runoff is 6.8 ish.
