    First 2 leafs already died. 2nd on the way out. I stopped watering. I havent added any ferts since I transferred the plant to a new pot 2 weeks ago.

    Rest of the plant looks healthy =\

  2. How old is the plant? The top looks fine. Might be a little nute burn on the lower leaves. I usually water twice a week and add nutes once a week. There are a lot of variables that can affect plant health, IE-kind and wattage of lights, hours of light per day, grow room temperature, pot size, soil type, density, drainage, ventilation....and the list goes on.   
     
  3. Been exactly a month since it sprouted. 
     
    I barely added nutes when I mixed the soil. 
     
    I mixed promix soil with vermiculite, earthworm castings and my alaska fish fert. Its 6-4-6 so I don't see how I could of added too much.

    OK, the first two leaves don't "die", they fall off. They are the cotyledons and they supply your plant with all the nutrients it needs to start life until it can take root. They always yellow up and fall off. Aside from that, you have some nute burn that happened at the tip of the leaf. None of your newer growth shows any deficiencies, so in all you are fine.
     
  5. Do You have a Dog? Sometimes Dogs pee in the pot cause too much nitrogen.
     
    ^ I wrote that before I noticed Your growing indoor, left it up just for a future tip.
     
    It might be a late nute burn for some reason. Since Your top growth seems healthy I woildn't worry.
    But if things get worst please PM Me so I can try to help You and reply faster.

    The cotylen or whatever. I know that. Those have been long gone. This is the first set of leaves that shriveled and died. And now the 2nd set is whats in the OP.

    I just dont understand how it may be nute burn. The only nutes were added 2 weeks ago at a 1/4 dose. Its 6-4-6 so damn near impossible to burn.
    Too much nitrogen bad? I thought you wanted more nitrogen in this stage?

    I did add 2 parts earthworm casings to 2 parts dirt when I was only supposed to do half. Could the casing add an over amount of nitrogen?

    Thanks

  7. Check out this google picture search. Look at the pictures and notice how it's mostly the bottom leaves that are effect from too much nitrogen.
    Since it's not throughout the plant I wouldn't be too worried. :)

  8. If You have any other questions please feel free to PM Me anytime, hopefully I am able to reply fast and help You out.
     
  9. Might flush the system tomorrow before it spreads even more. The other two on the bottom are starting to yellow at the ends.
     
  10. I don't think it's too bad since it's slowly coming, but the flush would be a good idea to get any remaining nitrogen out of the soil.
