Sad wittle seedling

Whats up guys? I have 2 plants growing, one is a skunk auto from white label and the other is a trans siberian from autoseeds, the skunk is the one that looks awesome and the trans is the one thats not very happy. Its been like this for a week and a half now, the leaves are curling tighter each day, ive only watered a couple times, i wait for the pot to be completely dry then i water again. Theyre in an organic potting mix, forgot the name but its very basic, sphagnum peat moss, fir bark, earthworm castings, bat guano, kelp meal, volcanic pumice and mycorrihzae. I may be forgetting a couple things but i think u get the idea. Bascially im just wondering what ur guys opinions are on what may be going on with this trans siberian, any help is very much appreciated.

I couldn't say for sure but would guess your soil may be a little hot for seedlings and she may be a little over-watered. The guano and kelp meal often do better for your plants if you can compost it into the soil a bit first and give it to plants past the seedling stage. Good chance she will grow through it.

Doesn't sound like you are overwatering and the soil looks dry, but the leaf structure suggests it is a possibility.

Thanks for the quick reply, yea i dont think i over-watered, and maybe the soil is a little hot for seedlings, that was the same conclusion i was coming to, i just wanted some other opinions on what it may be. The skunk popped the soil and took off so that kinda steered me away from thinking the soil was hot but no strains are the same. Do you think it may be a ph issue? I dont have a ph meter but the soil is pre balanced at 6.5 and i water with well water that i let sit out for days. The skunk is doing fine tho which leads me to believe it isnt a ph issue but honestly who knows, females are complicated no matter what species lol

It is probably worth your while to know your well water ph and ppm. I don't think it does anything to let well water sit, that is a treatment for chlorinated water. You don't have a water softener, do you? Don't want to use water that has been softened.

Personally, never used the strips, but most stay to go with a pH testing kit (unless your color blind...LOL...JK) or meter. Since a meter is out for you, if you can afford a Kit (drops) that would be the way to go...IMO

Good Luck and keep us posted

Cheers
