What type of soil is that? Are you feeding it nutes? Do yiu know the ph of the soil? I see a lot of wood and bark at the top of soil which can be low ph and high nitrogen...
 
the ph of the soil is aROUND 7.O im using just ffof no added anything just straight from the bag i gave it a lil bit of grow from humbold nutrients but not alot

its a mistake well made if you learned from it :) thats what my pap would use to tell me lol.....but im not sure if flushing will help or not you may have to ride it out and hope it recovers...but usually flushing does the trick...

reason why i say that is im not sure if flushing will unlock more nutes thats in the soil or not.....i dont think it will, id flush em out since u only used a "lil bit and not alot" lol...just playin but flush em for real tho...
 
hahah ok cool i will do that then lol so when flushing them how long should i run the water through just liek a normal watering or a little bit longer ima read up some on it and check back with your professional opinion lol! :0
 
I actually did the same thing with my plants that I have now. Well to Two of them. All I did was lay out some water until it was room temp and ripped the plants tray in half so i wouldn't break or hurt the roots. Then I filled an ice cream container not to high just enough to reach above the soil let it sit for a bit soaking off the soil. Then just transplanted them with some fert. They seem to be doing just fine now. W/e you do though do it now I'm willing to bet they will live. Cannabis is a pretty strong plant. Alot stronger then most of the people here give it credit for.
 
Ohh jeez you're talking about the cotyledon. They usually start dying off at 2-3 weeks Anyways I wouldn't worry to much about those leaves.

the temp is high, but i dont think thats the issue, too many nutes probably, remember plants need water, air, and light, the rest is just added goodness. at 10 days you should be bigger. id bet too much nutrients are stressing it
 
*facepalm* Why does everyone say the same thing when cotyledon dye off shortly after the grow of the first fan leaves. The reason they are dying is because it is using to much energy for the plant to keep both sustained. Although it was not a smart idea to just jump straight to nutes.
 
fuck I good I left this tab open. I forgot to say to use something with nitrogen in the nutrients. They are most likely going to die now but I wouldn't worry to much about it. I would assume your plant has been like it for at least a week by the look. Cotyledon Are usually very hard to revive IMO. Also reading the post above over makes it sound like I'm saying the Cotyledon usually die which is not the case. I was trying to say it is usually not that big of a deal. Most of the time the plant will live.

ya way to early to give nutes in ffof...fo sho, i start nutes sometimes last day or so into week 2...definitely by the second day in week 3 they get some nutes...just to give you a general idea as to when to start giving nutes in ffof...but everyone else nailed it on the head...flush her, and wait about 2 weeks...then giver her some nutes...they will be fine.
