tell us how you got to this point? I agree probably best to toss and start over but learning from what happened will be beneficial for your future grows.

I am specifically curious what you mean by; "6 weeks old." and "just gave it nutes and cal mag to to save it."

6 weeks from seed? Have you not been feeding her prior?

Must be an auto. There's probably no saving that plant, if it lives, it will not thrive. You'll get about 6 grams, if you're lucky!
You're doing something very wrong in the growing process, at 5 weeks that plant should be 2 feet tall (and two feet wide), need info on your media, lights, nutes, ph, temps, etc, before we can offer any help.

i dont understand where i went wrong. i started giving it nutes 3rd week. 5ml of micro bloom and grow. gave it 100 watt of light at 70%. humidity was at a constant 60 percent
4th week 7ml each micro bloom grow,
changed water every two weeks
temp was at a constant 75 degrees
had constant air flow ph was at a constant 5.8

"i started giving it nutes 3rd week"

for DWC you need to be using seedling level nutrients from the start, transplant after 2nd set of true leaves, top water until the roots hit the bubbles. should be around 200-300 ppm but not zero nutrients. Going from nothing to 5ml each? per gallon? is pretty strong. I would pop new seeds and try again.

If the current size wasn't flowering I'd just be bumping it up to week 2 level.

Have you ever done hydro before? I can't be of much help since I'm a soil grower, but that plant is severely stunted. 100 watts of LED? Auto or photo.

If you are using GH series 3 part, all the feed charts are available on the website, I would follow those over advice from whomever.

DWC "top water" - the water lever should be touching the base of your net pots and providing aeration, to encourage roots to grow through the medium and not just straight down you can pour some of the same nutrient solution over the top of the netpot until the roots are into the tank below. Like once a day to keep the root riot/rockwool cube damp.

If you just put a plant into the top / dry hydroton and the roots don't stretch they will stunt and die again.
