new to dwc 5day old seedlings not looen good?

hi guys im new here just started some bag seed a week back the plants are now 5 days old.
im using a 125watt cfl wich is about 3 inchs from plants 2.6l an hr pump into a 9lt bucket.grown in old dryer 6ft with a bathroom fan to vent and bring air in dnt no the temp but its not warm at all.
ph gose between 5.6 were i set it and drifts up to 6.0 over 24 hrs
im using ionic grow and flower with fu63 to keep roots healthy..nutes are very hard to get were i am i have to use ebay other wise its 4 hrs away lol..
i dnt have a ppm meter yet thats a few weeks off.
i think ive given them nute burn so i flushed with water then added 10mls of nutrient solution.down from the 20mls..the solution states 10ml per lt of water
so this time i put in 5ml of bloom and 5 ml of veg to try and avoid the high nitrogen content but still provide abit more cal mag etc..
but the older leaves are developing like small brow spots with yellowing from the tip in the new growth just forming looks yellow like fluro yellow and the very first baby leafs are yellow and had a purple spot no leaves have fallen off yet just a bit wilty and yellow...but 1 hasent grown in 2 days but is abit greener?...is it still nute burn or a def now?..im ready to flush with clean water again and use some advice that hopfully u lovely ppl can give.

Whoah, that is WAY overnuting -- 10ml per liter? If that's full strength, you should be using 1/4 of that, or 2.5 ml, to begin with. But that's only after the seedlings are 2-3 weeks old. They should have NO nutes the first 2-3 weeks.

So...dump your res, fill with water. Leave them be. Hopefully they'll recover. In another couple of weeks, if they're doing okay, then start with 1/4 nutes for a week or two, then go to 1/2 for a couple of weeks. Increase from there only if they're not showing any signs of burn.

This will be good for you -- it will make your hard-to-get nutes last a hell of a lot longer! And for seedlings, you want higher nitrogen, so I think you need to do more reading and ask some questions before you nute again!

Good luck!
 
no no i used 10ml per my 9lts lol 10ml per lt is the full strength recomendation..
flush it is then sorry ive been reading alot over the last week even changed my wallpaper on the pc to a nutrient def chart
for quick access.i understand they need high nitrogen i just wanted to see if it was the nitrogen that burns them.
kryptoniteglo thanks matey i just dident no if it was nute burn or def...they have purked right up again new leaves showin little to no
nute burn and the 1 that wasnt growing has started again..but im still gunna do this flush as a saftey feature. thanks dude

looks like nute burn to me. if your dead set on leaving nutes in right now. id take out half of the nutes and replace with water. to straight up cut your mix in half.

Your giving them nutes to early thats the problem, they dont need nutes at all in that stage. You shouldnt be giving them nutes until the start of week 3. Any dosage of nutrients right now is gonna burn them. Give them only ph balanced water until about 20 days in.
