  1. Hey guys,

    so I am a kinda beginner grower. I think there is something wrong with my plant but I do not know what and why. I have got some photo's and I hope you guys can maybe find a solution to the problem? :D

  2. Your problem, or the biggest one I see right off the bat, is over watering. You have that plant in a pot that has an enclosed irrigation setup....basically, it's holding water at the bottom of the pot. You are also growing in a very very VERY dense-looking soil with no perlite in it which means that your soil is acting as a sponge and holding tons of water instead of allowing it to drain away from the roots of the plant. MJ plants do not like to have their roots sitting in moisture all the time. Exactly how much research did you do on the process of growing MJ plants before you obtained one or planted seeds to grow your own? This little tidbit is one of the ABC's of growing weed and if you aren't aware of that, you most definitely need to do a little work and educate yourself on the right way to grow one of these and actually get it from seed to harvest. There are basics that a grower must know in order to do this without pulling your hair out or popping on here every day with questions. Go to the new grower threads here on the forum. There are posts specifically for people who don't have much knowledge or experience with growing this stuff. You need to most definitely learn more about the plant you are trying to grow before you go any further. But for goodness sakes, get this plant into a different pot that has excellent drainage and if you can't get hold of some formulated grow soil, then get some off the shelf soil and amend it to about 60/40 soil/perlite. If you don't have very good drainage for these plants, you're going to rot the roots and other fun things. TWW
     
  3. Alright man, thanks for the information I will definitely search some more information about that. Btw, what is MJ? :( , I think I need to educate myself even more, however thank you for your fast reaction and thank you for the solution.

    Easy Organic Soil Mix for Beginners
    ITGs easy soil thread..
    30% peat
    30% perlite
    15 % compost
    15% EWC (earth worm castings)
    10% various amendments
    Kelp meal
    Alfalfa pellets
    Chicken manure
    Crab shell meal
    Neem cake, seed meal
    Rock Dust..
    .
    None of it is rocket science and you can use a really wide range of materials to grow in.. Be advised most bagged store soil is shit for growing cannabis so keep that in mind.. Avoid all Scotts-Monsanto products as well as all Miracle Grow stuff.. Skip the blood and bone meals too.. No go on anything labeled slow release fertilizers as well..
