If you can, can you put down what your light is, what's the temp and humidity, how high is your light hanging, this will also help people to help you, peeps with more experience should be along soon.

Them babies is cooking like chicken wings.
You can try to flush some of the available nutrients out, but miracle grow has the dissolving pellets in it, and it prolly won't work.
The Upside is, Cannabis is a weed and will more than likely keep struggling, and if you can drag them along long enough, they might straighten out...

I mean I’m far from a expert but they look like they r water logged I would let them dry out completely …easy way to tell that is when pot gets light “let them roots breathe”after pots are dry I would try a week of just water only water when pots light …could be the miracle grow but I know people who grow with it lol …wich leads to the dark waxy appearance and burnt tips maybe fill your tub or a tote and soak the pot in it but I would wait for more options https://www.growweedeasy.com/overwatered-roots-heat-small-container

Miracle grow, and similar soil mixes, can be thought of like Subcool's super soil.
Stronger than it needs to be, but mellows out with time and eventually provides a nice full nutrient mix..
Hope is not lost.

Not trying to disagree with you, but...
waterlogged plants would show drooping leaves.
With the damage seen, it would be very noticeable, IMO.

DrBuzz nailed it. Generally Miracle Gro potting soils and garden soils contain little slow release fertilizer pellets in them. So each time you water, you’re actually feeding your plant, which can be problematic. So definitely do not feed them additionally right now,they look nute cooked for sure. Maybe slightly overwatered as well

The hope is in the green, happy leaves at the top, which show a cheery, happy plant wanting to produce buds for you... as long as that fresh green remains viable, let it rip.
You should see it begin to grow out of the burning (as long as they are not autos) as they veg.

The shiny dark green leaves would suggest high nitrogen. Not a major issue. Yes, you'll burn some leaves but the plants will grow more.

Agree with the others. Water only and allow them to dry out a bit (maybe a lot) between waterings. They'll survive.

I know it's difficult on the first couple of grows but try not to mess with them too much. Less is more. Too much love kills more plants than too litte. Ask me how I know :lol:

And... This is like your fifth thread on this same issue. Please try not to spam the forum. There's lots of great folks here to help.

There doesn’t appear to be much soil in your container, could be root issues.

No worries. Don't overwater, don't overfeed and maybe back off the lights a little. First grow, don't worry about pushing them hard. Get 'em to finish, enjoy the smoke and run some more. You'll learn more each successive grow.

Are you planning on potting up? If so, you can get them into something a little less hot. I haven't ever played with MG so it's kinda tough to recommend. I'm sure there's info on successful MG grows here if you do a search.
