What Seems to be My Problem Here?

[BeantownBotany]

So a little backstory on this one, this plant sprouted on April 17 and grew its first 2 serated leaves in a day or so. At this point, the plant stopped growing new leaves, and just grew its 2 serated leaves bigger. I transplanted into a different pot to make sure there was enough drainage in the soil, as it seemed to be wet longer than my other plants. The plant still showed no growth. I had to leave for two weeks, and the person watering my plants didn't feed it at all and gave it too much water. They also pinched off the two main leaves to promote the other leaves to grow. Two main colas appeared, and this is where its at. I started feeding Cornucopia Plus Grow (2-1-2) and their Formula X (2-1-2). Then I began adding Espoma Blood Meal (12-0-0) and Greensand (0-0-0.1), as it looked like a nitrogen problem. Still not much change so far, just slooooooow growth and droopiness. Any thoughts? This plant is about a month old and still looks like a newborn, whats going on with it?

your other plants are fine, and in the same conditions?

don't know what to say about this one.

That grey shit your using makes your soil look like concrete! LOL

This one was sprouted 2 days after the one in question, and didn't receive anything different throughout its life. The rest are a week younger, but they're all bigger.

Thats the greensand, hadn't mixed it into the soil yet. I did that shortly after the pictures were taken.

I hate to tell you this but none of your plants ever looked healty. What kind of soil are you using? It doesn't appear to have enough perlite to promote drainage aned that's probably why you said it remains wet for long periods of time. The roots need air to grow big and fill in the space and to take in nutrients. They probably don't need any nutrients and topping at such an early age is all a lot of stress for a seedling to deal with.

have to agree on this one. it may have ph issues as well but drainage and good soil are pretty key to a healthy plant

 

[BeantownBotany]

Using MG Organic soil, with about 3:1:1 soil/perlite/vermiculite. The plants were all very yellow and droopy when I returned after two weeks, but all have recovered since I began feeding them and transplanted them. They were rootbound in jiffy pots and as soon as I put them in pots they began recovering within a few days. This plant however was never in a jiffy pot and has been in this MG for a few weeks. There are a lot of sticks in the soil and it doesn't seem to have any drainage problems anymore.

 

[RRLBT420]

MG soil holds a lot of moisture, but it's hard to say what problems you're having. i would recommend flushing them with plain, ph balanced tap water. collect the runoff water and test the ph and ppm, as it's hard to say what's wrong without those numbers

2 weeks in and your feeding this tiny plant all this??????? If your starting soil is decent at all, you shouldn't have to fertilize at all for the 1st two weeks at all.....

You should not have used the blood meal- too much N too quick probably. You need to read up some and get a better handle of what your doing.... too much, too soon.

 

[BeantownBotany]

The plant is 4 weeks old, I just started using nutes this week. It had 0 Nitrogen throughout the majority of the pics I posted. I've read up plenty, this is my 3rd grow, never had this issue before.

 

[asaph]

still, it's obviously too small to have used up the N in the soil, if it's hungry it's not from lack of nutes in the soil. probably a problem with the roots, could be pH or salinity. MG causes a lot of problems to grower here, it is recommended to test the soil and flush, or just give up on it. Also some rooting agent can be of aid.

 

[SSHZ]

Pro-mix or Sunshine mix will yield much better results than the MG.......... cut your losses, start over and make some corrections. What you have will be far behind, may never be healthy, and probably be so stressed your yield will be next to nothing.

Come on guys!!! We can save her don't give up!!!! Do you want to save her man or start over?

 

[DrtyBngWtr]

MG organic or not IMO is crap for cannabis. Time released fertz are normally to strong and throws ph way off.

Hi! I think SSHZ might be right... he could re-pot IMO that'd be his best bet.. but fixing that soil is going to be way to hard on the plants which are about to die

 

[BeantownBotany]

The mg soil had an npk of all numbers below 1, I can't see that as being the problem. Especially when I have 23 other plants in the same soil that have all come back very strong in the week since I've returned. I'm gonna keep this one around and hope something happens with it, but I'm starting to think its just a bad seed.

 

[SSHZ]

Potting soil is too heavy and not airy enough. Potting mix is a lot better, but still not ideal. Pro mix or sunshine mix is best for it's lite charge (2 weeks) of nutes, and lime/perlite additions.

 

[NoDrama]

Its overwatered, that is why it hasn't grown.

All the nutrients you are giving it are also killing it, you have enough ferts on top to feed 20 plants, its going to die soon if you don't get that shit off of it, the stem may already be fried. Plain old dirt and water are all it needs until its at least 9 inches tall.
