Is this failed attempt in any way salvageable?

Hello everyone.

I've browsed this website for a long time but this is my first post and I was hoping someone would be so kind as to help me out.

I found a seed in a bought product and decided to try growing from it. Ok, it started fine and dandy and the plant grew and grew. But it didn't take long for some leaves to start curling at the end .. turning white and dying. It spreaded from the end of the plant and slowly ate itself inward. (see pics)



Also they started to dry up at the bottom and upwards .. slowly dying, one leave after another drying up.



Now I came here and thought this might be some deficiency, so I bought organic fertilizer with every conceivable nutrient but no change .. it slowly keeps dying with only a few leaves whole.

The fertilizer is just .. hen shit? (Sorry, I am from Iceland). Just some hen/chicken droppings. But it has all kinds of nutrients ..all of those I think were mentioned on the nutrient deficiency web page on this site.

Now, the lightning is a fluorescent light, nothing fancy but should be enough. Still, its only a typical desk fluorescent lamp with (60w) bulb.

The plant is watered every other day until the dirt is wet.

Well this plant is almost dead and just keeps dying. But what I wanted to know is if anyone knows what might have happened so I can watch out in the future, plus if we can perhaps smoke any of the leaves that have dried up, and/or the leaves which still are whole?

How would I go about such a thing? Do I dry it up for 2 weeks then can I smoke it? (saw someone talk about putting it in a jar when dry, then opening the jar up for one hour every day for 2 weeks .. or is that only for buds, cause this plant has none?)

So I want to know if I can get high from either the dead leaves or the ones not starting to die .. or even both? And if so, what should I do to get them to "work" (I've tried smoking some of the dead leaves after leaving them to dry for one or two days, but to minimal effect).

And yes, I'm a total ignorant beginner :)

I'm thinking about trying this again .. just want to see if I can get anything out of this failed attempt?

A big thank you to everyone willing to give me a few tips.

Ladybird,
Iceland

Thanks :)

I'd love if you would read my post again and see if you could answer the questions it contains since you were so kind as to reply?

Also .. I tried organic fertilizer as I mentioned in the post, but to no effect :(

Thanks again!

Welcome ... I would also suggest some better lighting. As for yellowing leaves at the bottom of your plant in my experience this is normal. However in your situation the plant appears to be considerably tall and the light you are using is simply not reaching the bottom of the plant. With a better light the plant would of grown alot less upward.

First priorty should be new lights.

As for smoking, I would not smoke anything off the plant that early in its life. The method of drying you are referring to also known as curing is for buds.

Here is a popular guide on the site if you can look past the fake breasts https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/937-how-grow-marijuana.html

make sure the plant isnt touching anything that conducts heat when its under the lamp. the white part on the leaf looks like it was burnt by sitting on something hot. i had the same thing happen to one of my plants when i left it by the window and it was touching the hot glass.

the leaves wont do anything for you. you want buds man, buds.

i wouldn't write this plant off just yet, you'd be surprised at how much a weed plant can take.
