A couple of things man.
1. It's best to test your pH on a regular basis. pH from tap can vary, I've seen mine fluctuate up to 2 points. ' 2. Your soil is probably a bit hot. Miracle Grow soil, even the "organic" blend can be a bit hot for seedling.
3. I think you are over watering quite a bit. Every couple days for a plant that big is quite a bit. Lay off until the soil is very dry. Also stop foliar feeding it. Just add the liquid karma to your water man.

alright, good points. I just got a digital ph tester, will test my water from now on. I usually wait until the dirt is crusty dry before watering. Will lay off the foliar spray. I havent fed them any grow nutes yet. I gave them a beni tea and they seem to be doing better already, leaves are all perking up. I know miracle gro is shitty dirt, but I dont know what else to use thats in my area. I cant get fox farm or promix around here and the shipping on dirt is crazy, Ill take any suggestions in that area. I dont think i mentioned this, but i had just transplanted them, could it have been a bit of stress? Hopefully not bad genetics, since these arent bagseed. I got a female seeds white widow, a female seeds iced grapefruit, a paradise seeds delahaze, and the one we've been discussing, the greenhouse seeds kings kush. Hopefully she pulls through thanks for the advice guys.

Damn, that beni tea worked wonders in 24 hrs...all my girls are happy now! I tweaked the original recipe:
3 tsp roots oganics, 10 ml humboldt honey es, capful of superthrive, 16ml liquid carboload(3-4tbs for powder), and a capful of silica blast. All this is per/ 5 gal water. Aquarium aerators to mix for 24-48 hrs. I subbed out one ingredient, 10ml nitrozime, and added the superthrive and silica blast instead. If anyone does a beni tea, what beneficials do you use in yours? I got the idea from a fellow grower on youtube called Komagrows. Decided to experiment a little with subbing ingredients, and so far it seems to be working out.

I use Silica blast as a regular supplement. Too bad they discontinued it. Pro-Tek is what I'm gonna have to switch to.
I don't use superthrive, never had a need to in all honesty. I make guano and earthworm casting teas and compost teas though.

Damn, when did they discontinue silica blast? And, why? I like botanicare products.

Just recently. My grow store had only 1 little bottle left and informed me about it. My guess is it just doesn't sell.
