Is this plant dying?

This plant has been through the ringer and always come through strong. But in the last day it has taken a rapid turn for the worst. It is four weeks since germination.

History: It developed yellow spots on the top leaves after having soil on it while in the sun. But now the colored spots are crispy and not just discolored. Also, whatever is happening has spread to the bottom node leaves. I am using Schultz seedstarter plus with no other nutes. I have been watering it with purified water from the grocery store (have not yet checked ph...I know, bad boy). The last water it got was rain two days ago. I started on a windowsill, then moved it outside during the days, then moved it to its final growing space in a more shady area, but concealed from passerbys.

Today it has been in direct sunlight all day and looks worse.

Please help! Thanks!

It looks pretty bad for four weeks old.

not dying just struggling

This is the same plant three days earlier...

Wow a month old. I don't Know if I can help.
Do you have more seed's???
What did you do to it????HEHEHEHE

I had 5 plants that looked the same as that after over 2 months, same size and everything

I would transplant it to a out door local and leave it to heal its self.
I think you are taking to much care of it....
And start some more seed's....

I might be. It looked a lot better this morning...for some reason the day in the sun today did it more harm than good.

This is the last remaining plant out of the first four I germed (this is my first grow ever). I then germed seven more (although they were weak looking seeds...kept the best nine for later after I f**k this up) and have four left with one doing very well.

I'm gonna water it like I did before the rain and see what happens. Just wondering if how it looks is indicative of something I should be doing...

Thanks guys

keep the leaves clean you might have just burned them. good luck

Thanks. Someone else told me that water on the leaves can do damage to them if in the hot sun...acts like a magnifying glass. I don't think I watered it this morning, but I may have.

also sounds like shock; to soil with time released ferts, and from shad to full sun... i'm with shaman; leave it to mother nature, it may come around...

Thanks kp. You're the second person to tell me a disfavorable opinion of time released ferts. I get the reasoning, but is it that bad for a newbie? Will I still get a plant to mature, if not as well as with manual ferts?
Thanks!

time released is ok, but is rather strong for seedlings, and can cause nute burn. lots of times, a good water will fix things, as the plant goes through a growth spurt directly following...

sorry i don't have anything better to say

i hate to say it but that plant looks bad. could be over watering and to much bright sun at once. it looks like it has some weird leaf growth. i could be wrong. it does look burnt and over watered.

You may well be growing a runt. I have had a few of these and they take ages to mature. I usually end up killing them.

yeah I agree with skunkushybrid, I have one right now that is half the size of it's siblings, what I am gonna try and do is go 12/12 from the start and just see what happens, it'll probably bud as soon as possible and I'll get a really low yield but hey it's a runt.

That's what I mean... even when you start the 12 12 they will still take forever. They may not even start showing until all the others are half-way budded. they're not worth it, they usually disgust me that much I take them out. Literally.

well maybe my way it'll be ready to harvest at the same time as the others

Thanks a ton, guys (& kp!). I appreciate you taking the time to look in and help me out here!
