Over water and over feeding.

Can anybody comment on the upping Nitrogen Post?? That's my main question atm is whether I should up the nute concentration due to Nitrogen deficiency, I am weary about doing so, but Idk what else I can do. I have tried watering less with bad results already. Maybe that's a bit of the problem, but there's obviously more to it than that I would say...

Two people have. Your over watering and feeding them to much.

Back off both.

A pic in blue light will help.

I know its confusing asking a question and getting ten different questions.

Here's what to do.

Take what answers you get and look up pics for that suggestion. Compare the info and pics and compare to your plants.

Take a little time a Google the different answers and read a few post from different grow sites about the topic.

Get a feel for your plants. Don't let someone on the computer dictate what you do. The plant does that.

Kiss keep it super simple. Don't over think.

Don't panic and make an informed decision and do it. Grow an extra plant or two. If you get hung up treat them different ways.

Its a learning process. Even with a mistake valuable lessons are learned.

My bad.

It wasn't a lecture. I was just commenting on how to get the most out of this website and learn the fastest.

Oh and something else that will help is get a few house plants. It will teach you to read plants.

Thank you. I actually have yet another theory as to what's wrong lol... last night I transplanted all into 3 gallon fabric pots with new coco and perlite mix that I figured would be better for the plants. This coco I got from the hydroponics store. It's massive, I didn't even use half of it and it filled up all 3 pots plus some extra for some random peppers I sprouted haha. This coco is called coco tek, it's quite common.
HOWEVER, I was not using this coco before. I was using coco from the pet store. They sell it as pet bedding and in much smaller quantities than the 15 kg cocotek brick I just got. I had read many posts on people who swear by using pet store coco. But the coco I got was not in brick form (not compressed). I found out last night that this coco from the hydroponics shop has a quite different texture to it! It seems to hold a hell of a lot more water than the pet store coco I bought. This stuff is like a sponge made of dirt.

What I notice with this other coco from the pet store is that it doesn't hold water nearly as well. I would find that my coco was BONE DRY after only 2 days. Mean while, everybody is telling me I'm over watering and I'm like fuck you no I'm not this soil should not be that dry for so long! Lol... well I guess both arguments were kinda right. The plants were getting too much nutrients bc I watered so often, but at the same time they were severely drying out at the roots because of the coco I was using.

I had no Idea there could be so much of a difference in various coco coir substrates! That was the last thing I would have thought of as the problem.

Long story short to anybody reading this in the future, don't buy pet store coco! (or at least don't get the non compressed stuff). LEARN FROM ME. Lol ^ the photo I originally posted is the result of such!
I sure hope this fixes the problem.

Thanks to everybody for input! As confusing and all over the place as it was it actually helped a lot to come to this conclusion.

Your other plants arent great either. They all have the same problem.

5 weeks from seed?? Looks like 2 weeks tops.....

Like bud said, better pictures would be a good start.

I have a feeling you're over loving them. It's a weed not a god damn pet.

Also, it is my pet. But the irony...

I would still water, feed, water, feed. It will help to not get salt buildup.

Ya bud i bailed on this one cause you took my post as an insult when i was really just giving you a wake up call that all the plants were affected not just that one...

Don't be offended by some internet asshole.. You could learn from us internet assholes.

Hope that coco problem solves it for you good luck

If anybody is interested:
I got her to buck up and she's growing into a beauty... after being down to having only one (dying) fan leaf left at one point. I thought she was a goner but as soon as I transplanted into new coco and watered with proper pH the fan leaves slowed their dying and eventually stopped dying all together, then the thing just shot up 4 branches from topping a looong time ago. She's still really really small compared to my other plants but looking very nice.
