you're doing an awesome job, but U might wanna germ another one just in case...

and Ive been thru and thru this GJ but I dont see anywhere you state what type of soil/nuts/water your using...

It looks like your using some type of organic mix, maybe MG organic choice

The leaves looks like ur having some type of lock out, maybe the PH is too high/low or overwatered or the light isnt hitting the plant right...bcuz the plant should be reaching every limb up towards the light

edit: but the plants definately growing in the right direction, you've got a lot of new growth from yesterday to today and thats definately something that even the most experienced growers pride on, so you should be proud of that

I have suspiscions about your soil.... It looks super chunky and meaty. I'm using transplant soil and its very fine cut and composted with animal turds of course.

Maybe they arent liking the larger soil content. This is merely speculation however. Check into it. I may if I find some time.

Godkas , do you think it was a bad idea to start the seedling off in such a large pot?

I probably woulda started off in a smaller pot till it got a lil bigger then transplanted into a larger pot..just for the simple fact that its easier to tell if the plant is getting dried out

It looks like your using some type of organic mix, maybe MG organic choice, and the lights..well in order to burn the new growth you'd either have to have the lights literally on the tops of the plants or ur using a HPS or MH light to veg.

Thak you, I will be changing my title to Blackthumb Plant Grand Inquisitor later... Soil here manages to stay wet long time... I am 3 days since lats watering and siol is still Wet on the bottom. Leaving well enough alone letting those roots search and stretch instead of the stems. I am assuming that since the pot (she) is in is pretty big that it may not be growing UP right now and might be growing really bigger under soil. (I formed this theory during the last transplant when I discovered that this little thing had a HUGELY long root structure forming but due to the poor drainage was suffering from the beginnings of root rot.) I have also noticed that even though it is small it is growing heartier every day. Now I have to force myself NOT to over water it.

Soil is Miricle Grow Potting Mix with Miracle Grow Perlite (so the added nutes are trace about 1/100 of the normal since it is small, but available if she wants without causing burn) Lights are 4 40 watt Compact Floros All about 4 Inches from the plant (I managed to revise my hood cooling so that I can now get the lights closer without causing heat stress to the plant) YOu are right that it was overwatered https://www.rollitup.org/members/spittn4cash.html well not so much over watered as not draining or breathing well. Thanks ALL hopefully it continues on its way.

I have a feeling the miracle grow is your problem. The babies have a hard time with it but it seems to be pulling through. Socko also grew really big in the roots early on and then took off so it is a good sign. I think your baby should do good. If the wilting keeps happening keep flushing your soil test your runoff (i dont because I dont see a problem with mine as of yet) You may need to adjust because of the Miracle Grow.

Oh yes if your soil was completly dry then that would be it i figured you meant dry like low on water. Watch (her) she should perk up in a few hours.

Dry like powder to the touch with not a bit of moisture except at the total bottom of pot (i had to almost scrape to feel it)

I heard it should be watered when the water table drops below 2-3 inches from surface. I spray some water at the base of the plant and see how fast it soaks personally and base my watering on that.

That is good info, if it is correct and I think it might might be, I was attempting to let it recover from the beginnings of root rot, so perhaps it was just as well

Nothing new to report today, She looks a little perkier after that water but there was no run off so perhaps ill ad another 4 OZ tomorrow. No nutes yet still flushing the added out of the perlite and the MG

wow that first pic looks pretty darn good, have you considered snipping that yellow part off? I dont think its gonna grow back. Even that seedling looks amazing, I dont know what strain you are growing but its definately rare/unusual but U are doing a great job taking care of them...

It definitely looks a lot happier. Go ahead and clip the browning leaf whenever you feel like it (i usually wait until leaves go 50% dead before i chop them.)
