Sick Baby. Need Your Help Please

O]Hey all. This one has me stumped. My two week old new born is showing signs of burn or deficiency which is weird for the age of the plant.

I attached pictures. I fed it FF Grow Big quarter charge for the first time yesterday. All the pics are of a problem that existed before the feed. She's in plain old potting soil with no added NPK, cabinet humidity is 55%, PH is about 6.8, under fan cooled CFs about 4-6 inches away.

This is the only one I cracked for my backyard this year so no others to compare it to. My guess is some sort of soil born disease. If that is the case I need guidance on how to treat. Anything you can offer me is much appreciated!!!View attachment 1607027View attachment 1607031View attachment 1607037

Your soil sucks but you knew that and you just started feeding her so I say let it be for a week and see if there are any changes. Can you foliar feed? That will help to speed up the process. Are you planning to transplant to the backyard?

Your soil looks very dry and crumbly in the pics, how often do u water? I would honestly get some better soil (buy small quantities of mix yourself a blend)
looks very sandy, your soil should Never be that dry, u need something that will hold moisture and drain, But if i ever notice my soil is this dry i replace it.
Best of luck, hope you baby thrives

check the ph of your runoff water. i'll bet it's high. that soil also looks kinda crappy, and honestly with a plant that young already having issues, i'd start over with good soil and nutes and good seeds.

Why do you think its necessary to nuke the plant and start over? Really do you not have any input at all as to how to fix it besides high PH? Please be knowledgeable when you post and as Rome says have a take that doesn't suck.

lol the plant is only 4-5" tall, and already suffering. if it takes a week to veg a plant to 5" healthy, and it takes a week to nurse this plant back to health, all you've sacrificed is a stressed plant for a healthy one. it's along the same lines of half your posts telling people to use floramite or avid, and providing a link to an ebay store that i'm suspicious is owned by you anyhow. you can use chemicals and garden how you want, i'm just saying what i'd do in MY garden, which is healthy and poison free.

What you do in your garden has no real relevance to what his problem is the whole point is to help him which although the plant has a slow start there is no reason not to help him. That soil sucks but not bad enough to toss it and we can get it back to green and growing in less than 2 weeks. I will bet money on it.

This is Horticulture we are studying here not mommas recipe for pest free plants and I will go get better links to my recommended mite control so as not to give the impression that I "own" them". Naw fuck it they are links to products that the do not have to buy 200 dollar pints so they stay. Hey different strokes for different folks I just choose to not fuck with bugs at all than be "ORGANIC" and fuck with them all the time.

If you are going to post un substaniated shit just be prepared to back it up with science not just what you do in YOUR garden.

again, WHY SPEND 2 WEEKS NURSING A SICK PLANT WHEN YOU COULD HAVE A HEALTHY PLANT IN HALF THE TIME THAT'S THE SAME SIZE? i'm not saying it can't be fixed, and if the plant were much bigger then i would say it's worth it. as for my shit being unsubstantiated say what you will. most of my methods are similar to those recommended by Ed Rosenthal.... but you probably do know more than him.

Ed and I go way back.....................

I agree and appreciate it, I'll fix her. The soil definitely sucks and i was just starting in it. She'll go into much better soil outside, i shouldn't have done that though.

I'll check the run-off ph but since it was straight water until a few drops of ferts one time i doubt that's the issue. There is pretty vigorous growth and the new stuff doesn't look horrible so I'm not going to nuke her. As far as the soil looking dry, i water on a pretty good schedule and had just watered 12 hours before so must be something with the pics.

It is good feminized seed that i have grown before with great success. Thanks for all the input, it's the crappy soil I think, I'm going to transplant sooner than I planned and see how it goes.

How bout keep it as a learning process. If you want also start another one over. It doesn't look all that bad though
