    ^^The leaves are growing real close (bushy)

    ^^The first set of "true" leaves died, now the 2nd set is yellowing and falling off, 3rd is just droopy

    I'm sorry for the horrific quality but I dont have time to charge my camera. My plant was fine like 4 days ago.

    I'm watering it 4-5 days, I have my lights on 18/2 and only about 3" above the plant, not food. Whats going on! I thought overwatering but i wait so long as is.

    My plant was thriving only last week. Whats going on? And how can I fix this!? I'm real nervous
     
  2. You should really go by how wet the dirt is, not # of days... If it's damp 2 knuckles deep, do not water- even with watering every 4-5 days, it's a small plant and can only use so much so fast.
     
  3. Also, what pH is the water you're watering? And I hope you're not using nutes again...
     
  4. I haven't put anything in it. My soil has time released I think but its also mixed with perlite and ground soil. I'm using soil recommended by a grow guide I have. I heard other people say its rootlock or something, but i've seen small plants before.
     
  5. Is that a bowl your growing in if so how big is it, and does it have drainage? How big is your plant can we get some pics from the side? also did you check your ph, and what kind of soil are you using specifically.
     

  6. Its a planter, its about 7 in tall and 6in diagonally. It has holes in the bottom to drain
     
  7. Did you sterilize it before using it for this plant?

    At first i thought it might be root bound but im not so sure now i cant really tell how big the container and plant are with out seeing a pic from a distance, however your plant doesn't look very big for 1 month old. This is a pic of my first plant at 28 days so yeah im guessing you might need to transplant,
    http://forum.grasscity.com/attachme...935d1287525188-drooping-seedling-imag0769.jpg i usually start my plants in beer cups and then transplant them to 1 gal with in 2 weeks and 3 gal by 4 weeks, if you are satisfied that the container is big enough for your plant my next guess would be nitrogen def or lock out.
     
  9. Yeah i sterilized it. and i think i'm going to transplant it tonight
     
  10. that is lack of nitrogen right there! have you given it any fert or is there nutes in the soil?
     
  11. nuts in soil. i put a stick in and everyone told me to take it out
     
  12. I'm sorry and I dont mean to be rude but i need answers like now. My plant IS going to die if nobody can help me. Its even worse today and i still have different answers from everyone I need someone who REALLY knows what their doing and been here
     
  13. How can we answer your question when you still haven't answered 2 of the most important questions, what is your run off PH, and what is the soil you are using specifically?
    What is the npk value of the nutrients or soil you are using?
     
  14. ?When the hell did i make this post
     
  15. Yesterday
     
  16. Realized that, I have a new post with my plant in its new condition :/ thats why i got confused. idk the pH to be honest,
    Soil : 1/3 MG moisture control potting soil, 1/3 Perlite, 1/3 natural dirt
    Nutes: none regularly until now, I just used 24-8-16 to help w. the nitrogen but i also have 6-12-6 sticks I can use. [In all honesty, after waiting today watching it I'm pretty sure its going to die. :/]
     
  17. is that the mg soil with beads in it? def looks like nute burn..and possibly over watering also. the leaves are flattening out and pointing downward all the way around the leaf(like it ate too much, got fat and lazy). it got burned probably from watering it too much while using that soil if it is the CRAP with beads in it. once you water a few times a bunch of those fert beads will pop open and.. fry your plant...especially if your adding ferts on top of the soils ferts!! go get some organic soil.. even mg organic choice works pretty decent..compared to that other junk mg soil. i use ffof and ff happy frog and works pretty well. those plants can usually take a beating so dont give up hope unless its laying down and half crispy. just change the soil and use r/o bottled water if you dont know the ph of your water source and whats in it. then relax and watch it grow. if you grow half assed your going to end up w/ half assed harvests
     

  18. I've been using the soil for over a month, never caused problems. Infact everything in it came out a while ago.
     
  19. And i use spring water, and dont use nutes.
     
  20. And its just about to get crispy. half of it already is.
