What medium are you using?

1 Like

I tried to make my own soil. Biocanna Terrible plus, vermiculite, organically reduced peat compost, perlite, bone meal, miracle grow all purpose and diatomacious earth.

Try to avoid miracle grow, while it’s amazing for tomatoes and peppers it is far too hot for cannabis, every time you water you’re letting the fertilizer in the MG release and it’s much too hot for young seedlings

MG is a time released fertilizer making it difficult to control how much you’re feeding them and when, other soils like the Fox farm lines are better suited for cannabis because you don’t need to add nutrients till weeks 4-6.

There are growers here who have great success with miracle grow, I am sure we can find one and get em in here

The leaves are twisting round themselfs. Are they dying slowly or will they come back?

What are watering to run off? I would pull them and repot in a cannabis friendly medium. A lot of amended mediums out there to help a new grower get to the vegetative stage fairly easy with PH water. That’ll give you some time to research nutrients to add :love_you_gesture:

They were doing ok until i watered and fed them for the first time.

A little water came out the bottom when I watered. Then told seedlings don’t like to be drenched…

Yes they’re overwatered, At they’re age they should be getting small amounts and in a ring around the base. This will get the roots spreading out and searching for water. unfortunately that nice dose of water you gave them also released the MG nutrients and at an amount that is to rich for a seedling.
