look at this ugly seedling

Hey guys.


So this is my first grow. I am growing in a closet, with a 200 watt CFL and a LED UFO (yes, I realize the dumbness of that purchase). I also got a WaterFarm, and I am using the Flora Series nutrients that came with it. For ventilation I have a bigass inline fan.

I am growing one Afghan Kush Ryder, I put it into the system 4 days after it sprouted. The seedling started withering pretty quickly after that.
One reason might be that I had waay too much water in the reservoir, I filled half the root chamber as well. So it was probably overwatered. I also had some nutrients in the water, which probably didnt help.

The first leaves started curling down and displaying signs of nute burn, so I read up on it and replaced the nutrient solution with ph-adjusted water. I also adjusted the water level.

Thing is after my rescue attempts the plant got worse. And new growth is curling down and showing signs of nute burn. Even though there are no nutes. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? I try to maintain a RH of 30-50. and a temperture of 20-27 degrees celcius. The PH is fluctuating almost daily, going up to 7.5 So I adjust it with ph down.

Here are some photos.

So, any ideas?

Yup, well im gettin some fresh growth. Should I cut off the ugly leaves?
Definitely. I would just cut off the bottom two for now though and leave the top until they get worse. Let the plant get as much light with those two as long as possible.
