Possible Metal Toxicity. Still safe to grow and smoke?

I’m adopting this plant that is sick. After narrowing down everything I think it’s sick with metal toxicity. The previous person who had this plant had it propped up with a metal fork. If this is the case, would it be safe to grow still? Is there a way to flush out the plant itself? Thank you

You think a fork sitting in the soil shed so many metal ions that it did that to that plant. Yeah, no...

If you can get her back to healthy I'd smoke it.

Lol just a guess? It was in the soil and against the plant.
This is all the info I have from the previous owner of the plant.
Mother Earth Groundswell Soil
No Nutes
Watered when soil was dry
Was being grown outside
The wind may have pushed it down a couple times
Neem oil has been applied twice

Was the fork made of lead? Or uranium? if not, don't blame the fork.

Get some good bagged soil - Top Dress a handful or so ... ph water 6.5 water in. Leave it alone.

Or grab some RECHARGE or Great white and scratch in top / water in.

More pics please.

Soil has its own nutes. Happy organic nutes the plant can access when it needs but that aren't just going to jump down it's throat. Inert media needs nutes. Adding nutes to the soil is only going to increase the chances of killing this poor thing.

Salt nutes are for hydroponic growers, if people would stop wasting their money adding them to soil they'd make their lives way easier.

i'm not a dirt guy but how do you assume that the soil has nutes in it? and proper amounts of nutes? is the soil he has the kind where it's water only for the whole grow and it will have all the nutes needed for 13 or so weeks?

People think their plants need way more nutes than they really do. I said put into good soil. Other guy said top dress with fresh good soil. Either way he's covered for all the nutes that poor girl will need until she gets back on her feet and is transplanted again into a bigger container to get ready for flower. That transplant I'd amend with gaia green bloom dry organic fertilizer, but that's another thread, for now to save this sick thing I feel like more nutes = more chance of killing her.

that makes sense. how do you know a good soil for cannabis vs a good soil for another plant type? are they labeled as a certain NPK profile?
the only reason i mentioned floranova was that i used it in my veggie garden with good results. the hops, the beans and the tomatoes seemed OK with it. i had a half bottle left and figured why waste it.

The soil has no added nutes whatsoever other than whatever nutes the soil brings from the bag. No other nutes have been added. (I have grown in the same soil before with no added nutes until flower and my plant thrived)

You make it way more complicated than I let it get anymore... Any soil.. it'll be fine... Sure I have my favorite mix. But anything will do. If it sounded a little richer that'd be cool, but if not I'd just be mixing in a little extra Gaia green and compost once they have some size to them.

I currently feed my other girls with Floranova after they begin to flower, they love it!
Just not sure what made this girl so unhappy lol
I'm going to try to transplant into fresh soil and a fresh pot. Hopefully it bounces back
