Whats wrong with my plant?

[Sargent23]

Hey all!! First time grower of cannibus! Ok i have searched for answers to my problem but i think there's something more to it. I thought it was overwatered but what do you all think? Why are my leaves curling and drooping? Im not using anything fancy just a pot soil/dirt with a mars hydro led grow light.

What kind of soil are you using? Maybe the soil is too strong for a young plant. Any heat issues? A pic without the LED would help.

Always post pictures with natural light. It's impossible to see color and discoloration under grow light lighting. Are you using any fertilizers? And how often do you water?

Well the soil isout of my mothers vegetable garden. Good stuff quie possibly could be the issue? And i stopped watering 4 days ago cause the soil was saturated with water. Been curling like this for 2 weeks. Gonna grab a pic now

Nitrogen toxicity for one..hence the "claw" (talon like appearance of leaf tips)

Did you mix any perlite with the soil? If not that's probably a BIG part of your problem.. The roots need oxygen. In nature there's an entire ecosystem in the biosphere. Worms and moles and arthropods, all digging around and aerating the soil around the roots. Unfortunately these little guys can't survive in your pot. That's why all potting mixes contain a form of aeration, such as perlite, and bags of garden soil do not.

I don't see perlite.. Transplant asap into potting mix. Even the cheapest bag at Walmart will be better for you than what you have. Or at least buy a bag of perlite and mix it with your mom's garden soil, but as @cindysid said, looks like nitrogen toxicity, you will probably be better off with different soil all together..

Lol. I'm sorry man, but if it were gorgeous I don't think it would be in the marijuana problems thread.. But I guess it's still alive, so that's good. Get it in some decent soil with lots of perlite, and you'll see a gorgeous plant.

P.s.
I made the same exact mistake on my first grow. Threw it in a 5 gal bucket with some dirt I dug up from the back yard.. Lol

Some of us have to try a little harder than others to get good at this.
