A seedling has everything it needs for the first 2 weeks. No reason to feed a seedling. If your seedling doesn't root, I don't think spraying it with anything will make it root.

Yeah, man. Those roots look very healthy.
Just for the record....Citrus fruits like lemons and limes and grapefruits and oranges, etc...all contain citric acid. Acids lower pH. Yes, people have used citrus fruit to organically lower the pH. Other growers use the pH "UP" and pH "Down" solutions when they are needed. Marijuana likes the pH to be in the 6.0-7.0 range.
But, yeah, the roots in the pix look very healthy, so whatever is working for you, keep doing it!
