Any idea on the problem, should I cut this, or leave it and see what happens.

Leaves on 1 week old seedling has Yellow / brown spots. Should I cut these leaves off and disaffect the tent? It also has like a purple tone under the leaves.

Is this from getting fox farm soil on leaves, the environment not having good airflow at first and being wet? Is this from bugs or a fungus? Is this from the wrong PH in water?

Could this be from spray crop defender oils and keeping it under the light?


Should I just trim up and disinfect the place, and keep the environment and PH better?


Or just let it be and it’ll improve?

What will happen if I trim a 1 week old seedling?

I did mix fox farm ocean forest and happy frog

You should leave it, give it another week and that leaf will be ready to remove if an issue.

It’s important to just try to let it do its thing, these plants are super tough and it will 99% likely be fine.

Early leaves tend to have issues. Probably from the underdeveloped root system or overwatering which is the most common problem.

I would leave it and let it grow out.

Would imagine death being a possibility, because in essence you would be abruptly removing half of its mass. Not a whole lot of options there when it comes to pruning

I think it’s way too small to be spraying with anything but water! Tender young seedlings don’t take kindly to being sprayed with pesticides and fungicides! Especially the soap, base ones! My first grow, I sprayed my seedlings with some safers Three and one for some dumb reason and damn near, killed The whole lot of them, but they survived! I think yours will, too! Now make sure you don’t overwater it!

Don’t mess with it, don’t spray it, you don’t have bugs! More than likely overwatering is the problem.

The first few sets of some of my leaves on my 4 seedlings had some slight damage. Don't cut them off, they are still alive just a bit damaged. And all the other advice you are getting here is on point. Especially "don't mess with it". The new shoots right in the middle should grow out just fine. Seedlings don't like being sprayed but its not a lost cause by a long shot. They will be fine.

This is why it's a good idea to start them in small cups and then up pot. Issues like this are common because you can't keep the soil wet/dry cycle right and on top of that the nutes can be too hot for sprouts .
Also, start in Happy Frog then up pot to Ocean Forest. It makes no sense to mix them. Frog is more gentle for seedlings and Forest is better suited for adults. I keep seeing people mixing them, I don't know why that's a thing.

Are these mites? Or at least what was eating my babies?

No, look for eggs on the underside of leaves. But the spots don't look like mite damage to me.

 

[Imzzaudae]

The leaf damage is caused buy a bug called Thrips.

Looks like thrips Indeed.

I’d say take it step by step and monitor closely. Sometimes, letting the plant be and just improving the environment can lead to natural recovery. Happy growing!

A sick leaf, is still a functioning leaf.
Clown out.
