Just leave it alone for a few days. I wouldn't transplant, I would just let them dry up a bit and then give them only clean PH'd water. When the plant really starts to grow another set of leaves and looking 100% you can snip the dead ones off. For now I would leave well enough alone. But I'm having troubles of my own so... lol

Right. Not going to transplant yet. I’m only in my second week of seedling. I’ll leave all alone for now.

Yeah. Going to go back to the plastic. These cardboard ones seem to soak in the moisture too quick. It may be behind the reasoning of why everything seems light too quick.

Update—- the two plants are already looking better after just one full day of no water. The lower fan leaves look like crap but the higher ones are more vibrant. Shall I leave them lower ones alone and not remove? I’ve read that removing them will help since the growing energy will be re focused on the other leaves.

Patience is a growers best friend,do what Green mtn says above. In a couple weeks your plants will look great,when transplant avoid the clay pots!

Another question. Will tighter light help? Right now There is no reflective area just above the plants because I have my lights hanging down from the top where the cords dangle. Easy fix though.

Update. It wasn’t overwatering like most mentioned cause they got real dry, real quick when told not to water. I placed them in bigger pots and watered a lot. They’re both looking much better and growing well.

So they still look overwatered to me, and now they are completely sprayed down.

Why are you trying to drown your beautiful plant?

Let the medium and plant dry up a bit. Going to be 5 to 8 days befor they need water again unless your box is 80deg or higher....

That yellow and brown discoloration was much worse just last week. It’s all getting better. I’m not watering nearly as much as I was and getting on a schedule. I’m just saying that I was previously advised to not water at all for 5 days when my plant needed water on the second day. I know this because 20 minutes later after watering, it sprouted and looked livelier.

People are trying to help your 'situation', why are you so quick to shoot down overwatering? My plants pot has never been that drenched. You let it dry out, then it got better? Sounds like overwatered to me.

A plant that size could live off a half a solo cup full of water for 3 days or so prob more depending on your humidity and heat.

Yes I'd recommend tighter higher intensity lights. That helps keep things dry also.

It was overwatering coupled with whatever nutes you were dumping in there. A plant that small only would have a handful of issues, overwatering being the most likeely.

I’m saying that when I was told not to water for a few days, the plants got very brittle and limp that next day so I watered and they got better quick. I’m now on a more lenient water schedule. Because of this, I’m unsure if it was a overwatering problem. All I know is they got better after watering and transplanting out of them cardboard pots. I never really let them dry out. I tried but like I said, they looked awful the following am. Also, them pics were taken right after watering.

Update. All much better on my two plants. Both in 3rd week of flowering. Bad thing is I have two other small plants in seedling stage (pictured) being forced to prematurely endure 12/12 light and considering these two lost causes. I had no other choice to put them with the good ones due to space/secrecy. Just don’t have the heart to toss them. Any opinions on if they would still be good? See what happens?

I had to hide these in attic which stinks because it’s hard to work on top of ladder through ceiling opening unless I want to get entirely up there. But..... going to place them in unfinished bonus room soon now that the weather is getting warmer and will also use in future. This attic thing sucks.

70-75 degrees but going to get hotter now that it’s getting warmer out. Moving them out of there this weekend though.

Them small plants are being subjected to 12/12 of light and already developing pistils. Just go with it? Like I said I had nowhere else to put them.

leave it under 12/12 and it will continue to flower, stunted it be in size as it hasn't had any vegetative phase.

can you give it some supplementary light? if not, then leave it in the tent, and let it flower.

later, you can maybe decide to re-veg these smaller plants.

yeah, i thought those claws might be n-toxicity (i have recent experience) - but OP mentioned attic, so i jumped to heat.

Ok, just finished moving all to new space. Much cooler here in the bonus room above garage. When I got home the attic was blazing hot and it wasn’t even that warm outside.
