It doesn't look like a disease issue to me. Are you using nutrients yet? At this stage, you probably should only be watering. What soil are you using? A lot of shitty soil mixes (i.e. Miracle Grow, Scotts, Dr. Schultz) have nutes already in them and this can cause problems, especially early on in the seedlings life. In addition to a high PH, your water may also contain levels of calcium and other minerals too high for your plants. Are you monitoring the TDS content of your water? You want to use water that has as few dissolved solids as possible. If you are using water that measuers more than 100ppm this could be part of the problem. If you have no way of checking the TDS levels, I suggest using store-bought filtered water (not spring water). You could also try using a Brita filter, but I've never done that myself so I can't say for sure how effective that is.

you have to watch your ph when useing somthing like lemon juice, it is fine for a while but once it is in the soil it can disolve or somthing like that, rendering it useless a few hours to a day after watering, i dont know much about the situation as i am a newb, but i can assure you that you want to look into it, and possably buy some proper ph down

Man thats some crazy shit.... I am new to this myself smoked for years never thought about growing .to much water maybe try letting them thirst for an extra time period since it is a weed it wont die that easy.
