I started out watering too frequently and now the leaves have been droopy for a week and the cotyledon leaves have died. The stem is very weak and requires propping up.
I now haven't watered in almost five days, and the coco is almost bone dry on top, but not quite. I fed it 10ml (recommended seedling dose) Botanicare CNS17 as of the last watering, but it was already frumpy and pale prior to then, so I don't think it's over nuted, just watered too frequently. Temps with lights on are 79-83, and around 75 with lights off. The other seedlings in the same conditions look great.
What can I do to save this one??? Please help!

Well, I figured out that my ph meter needed calibrating. I had been ph'ing too low, and that may be why this plant looks frumpy and has some lime-green/yellow spotting on the top growth.
I flushed with properly ph'ed water and hope it recovers.
