HELP MY CANNABIS PLANT IS DYING

[Chongz12345]

So I am about 1 and a half week into growing when my plant was growing very healthy, when in just over a week it bent over, I fixed this by berrying the stalk further under ground and moved the light closer and tied the to of the stalk to a stick. now I have noticed thinning of the bottom of the stalk, I panicked and dug below the soil to see the more of the plants stalk, it’s all thin and strangely, like a thin piece of string. How do it fix this?!! My pot has been having some drainage problems, the soil I am using takes a while to dry out so this could of happened from over watering, I just need to know how I can save it!!

Less water
Smaller pot
And give it light

Reason it's so stretchy is it's searching for light

Start over and read up on growing weed

That medium looks horrible, you need to fix that or just start over being a week and half in. Would be over watered as well.

Thankyou for the fast response, I have but i’ve been trying to work with limited resources in lockdown. Is there anyway it can be saved?

Not sure if it can be saved. Also not totally sure it is over watering. But, I think it is a pretty good guess. TBH I would likely hack it and start again...but I am not you and someone else may have a better idea. Good Luck!

I have been using compost as it’s the only thing I have access too. I’ve barely Watered it but the soil won’t dry out. I’m gonna try look for some better soil but not much luck, my other plant is doing fine, but I don’t want the same thing ever happening to it, if I don’t find better soil in time

Thankyou! I will literally try anything at this point to help it survive, but I doubt it. Part of me wants to try cutting off the bad part and cloning it but i’ve read so much about how that won’t work

 

[BobThe420Builder]

Not sure that will survive..it may already be dead

Find better dirt and try again in a much smaller pot to start out

Maybe find some perlite to mix in yer dirt

100% compost? When you start again...you may want to at least put some perlite in to help drain...just my humble opinion. I have never used anything but FFHF soil.

I’m thinking about going to the beach and mixing it with sand. There’s no shops open

 

[Chongz12345]

Is it possible to clone it?

No


It's basically dead, or close,wait it out to see if it survives

And I hope your ribbon tie isn't strangling it

 

[Lordhooha]

Where are you located that doesn’t have anything open? Also you can’t clone that. It’s already dead and you need more light .

Where are you? Can't you order supplies online if shops aren't open? Also, I agree with everyone here who said start over. Your problem is the medium, compost holds too much water, you need something like perlite to add aeration and some spagnum moss, peat or coco coir.

 

[GrowdoBaggins]

Even if you could get lava rock from the yard or something like that, rice hulls work too. Get creative.

No and No.
Good soil, plenty of pearlite (like 70% soil, 30% pearlite) and lots more light.
3 or 4 CFL lamps would work for a couple of weeks but IMHO you're wasting your time with that one - it's tits up.

Feel bad for this fellow. It’s gonna take him a minute to get going good unless he does quite a bit of reading :/

I would like to have a nickel for how many spindly seedlings threads we see
It seems like no one reads just instant growers
