Hey all!! First time grower of cannibus! Ok i have searched for answers to my problem but i think there's something more to it. I thought it was overwatered but what do you all think? Why are my leaves curling and drooping? Im not using anything fancy just a pot soil/dirt with a mars hydro led grow light.20161003_164452.jpg 20161003_164506.jpg

What kind of soil are you using? Maybe the soil is too strong for a young plant. Any heat issues? A pic without the LED would help.

Always post pictures with natural light. It's impossible to see color and discoloration under grow light lighting. Are you using any fertilizers? And how often do you water?

Did you mix any perlite with the soil? If not that's probably a BIG part of your problem.. The roots need oxygen. In nature there's an entire ecosystem in the biosphere. Worms and moles and arthropods, all digging around and aerating the soil around the roots. Unfortunately these little guys can't survive in your pot. That's why all potting mixes contain a form of aeration, such as perlite, and bags of garden soil do not.

Lol. I'm sorry man, but if it were gorgeous I don't think it would be in the marijuana problems thread.. But I guess it's still alive, so that's good. Get it in some decent soil with lots of perlite, and you'll see a gorgeous plant.

P.s.
I made the same exact mistake on my first grow. Threw it in a 5 gal bucket with some dirt I dug up from the back yard.. Lol

Some of us have to try a little harder than others to get good at this.
