What's wrong with these plants?

I had a little claw when I ran "useless." To me that confirmed I was at the max the plants can take (which is what useless attempted to find). I saw it mid to late veg. Yours might be related to how you weren't feeding for awhile. They might be getting too much too soon. You could back off the N a little, or wait and see.

It will be easier to say after seeing a photo. Depends on how pronounced it is.

Problem is the one showing the problem was fed 1/2 strength week 1 veg. The other one getting the same strength (#9) is fine. And #5,6,7 are getting full week 1 and they're fine. The problem plant is #8.

It doesn't look bad to me. I can't say it's the N claw. Looks a little more like overwater. Could just be something genetic about that specific one. I'd continue as planned and keep on eye on that one.

If you're inclined to do anything now, I'd mix nutes the way you plan but reserve a cup or two (whatever amount you'd pour into that one) and add 30% water to dilute the nutes. But, I wouldn't do that now. I'd wait a couple feedings to see how it progresses.

EDIT: Is it possible you got the half-strength wrong? Did you cut the mixed nutes with 50% water? Or, did you mix them separately at 50% strength? If it's the latter it's possible you didn't measure something correctly.

I mixed em separate but the PPM on the half strength is lower so there's no way I messed it up. Plus #8 and 9 both got fed from the same jug at the same time so 9 would also be messed up

I was just looking at the Lucas formula for MaxiBloom, and it seems a lot cheaper than the Flora series would be. If I go with the maxi series, should I use lucas formula (only MaxiBloom), or should I use MaxiGro and MaxiBloom?

Well I've been feeding all 5 seedlings full strength week 1 for the last 2 days, and that one plant is still messed up. It isn't getting any better, but it isn't getting any worse either. So I'll just have to see what happens.

Since these plants aren't really "sick" any more, I'm gonna go back to posting in my grow journal. There's a link in my signature if you wanna check it out. And a very huge THANK YOU! to everyone who helped me sort out my babies and get them healthy again!
