Seedling is much to small for nutrients, as for your light you want your little leaves reaching for the light not shying away from it, im running 600w led once my seedlings get a few sets i lower my light to 24inc above canopy, at day 14 sidelight, at day 21 a very light feed, but i grow autoflowers that is how you run autoflowers strain dependent.

I agree looks fine. Do top water for now? I'm assuming the roots are not long enough to get into water yet?

Raise the light 6" The plant doesn't have many roots yet so you don't want the light too close. In a hydroponic setup, a plant that size absolutely must have nutes. Half strength for now, then gradually increase.

Put my cuts going into dwc in 1/4strength solution.

Honestly I assumed the plant would not last to long in almost 0ppm water without them.

Yep I agree 1/4 strength nutes, ph’d water. You must ph. And run water through filter. I like the kind that screws on at end of your hose.

Started adding 1/4tsp of the flora series per gallon it’s pretty small for being 2 months old or more

That plant is 2 months old or more? It's like its frozen in time... That's unreal. Do the roots look and smell ok?

Yeah a pic of the roots will tell. If it's stunted and not growing with no outward visual signs of damage then problem lies usually with the roots. Alge or rot

Come now don't discourage a new grower. We need as many non commercial quality growers around.

Personally Ill even set pll I know up if there interested with the right equipment for there situation usually at cost too.

I'm sick of paying for weed grown by a commercial grower who is all about the money and just pushes product out the door. Which legalization has made into such a bigger problem. I should not have to buy fish weed or larfy schwag bud from the dispensary. I've noticed more and more fish weed at my local dispo. And honestly I'm sick of lack of passion for the plant or tech.

So more connoisseur or micro grower is desperately needed to keep the quality of the medicine high.

Although I've noticed the op has not givin any specifics about his situation to help with any real diagnosis, even after being repeatedly asked by multiple experienced growers who are genuinely looking to help!!!!

Hint hint

Rez temp?
Ph?
Nute formula?
Look of roots?
Ec or TDS with formula?
Water source?
More Pictures?

Rez temps probably room temp or less i change the water once a week I think it had some root rot or something going on because it collapsed I swapped water and it came back so maybe high ph levels from the root rot? I’m lacking on some stuff I have ph up and down but I’m using paper strips to test not very accurately nutes I backed off after first two feedings thought I was over doing it and clean water seemed to help it’s sickly look I’m using tap water that I let dechlorinate

Do you know the ec of the water to start with? You will really need a TDS ec meter and get a ph pen there cheap 50$ from Amazon for both meters. The ec meter usually has a thermometer with it so you can tell the temp of the rez water. I've found most dwc problems stem from either ph fluxes or rez temp. Keep the rez temp below or around 65F. To avoid the rot or try h202 in the water if running a sterile rez like mine.
