So my ph was way off and what not along with a few other issues. Plant looked like shit. The first pic she looks bad but it got way worse. Anyways I looked at her really good and noticed she was growing lots of new branches and leaves. So I figured what the heck and trimmed of all of he dead/dying leaves and branches. So now everything you can see coming from the stem looks nice and healthy. Think she will keep growing and recover? I know it will take some time but she looks promising. Thoughts

If that's the before and after, it definitely has improved. It does still look bad but I bet it looks fine within 2 weeks. Nice work
 
No it's FF Ocean Forest. And yeah I didn't have the top trimmed yet when I took the pics. But it's trimmed too now. Everything looks healthy as can be now. Live and learn.

Well props for using OF. Like you said, live and learn.
 
Yeah I tried with Miracle Grow the first time I started to grow a few months ago. Plants were doing ok but man there were a ton of gnats coming out of the miracle grow. i moved far away and had to get rid of my girl. This time I got all the nutes and right soil. Still learning. i have 5 other plants starting too so I'm figuring out what works and what doesn't.
 
It looks like a drainage or watering problem to me (pure speculation from a couple pictures). To help resolve your plants need for oxygen, mix 1 part peroxide with 4 parts water and water thoroughly (10-20% runoff). If you see an improvement, it is likely your soil isn't draining properly or you are overwatering. pH could also be the cause, but I don't really see nutrient lockout. The new growth is still showing signs of poor health (the downturned leaves instead of reaching). I hope everything recovers and you get a bountiful harvest!

There are 5 holes in the bottom of the pot. Do i need to make a few in the bottom on the side? Also I have the cheap oxygen solution in my grow closet for more oxygen in there. PH was really high. It was like 7.4. I have that solved now and PH is 6.4.

No, that is plenty of holes. The drainage would be in the ability of the soil to drain, such as having too little pearlite or whatever. Fixing that pH may have worked for you, just make sure your water is correct from now on and it should equilibrate over time and hopefully recover if that was the only issue.

My guess is over watering. If you can, get some sort of humidity dome over and see if the leaves start to raise up.
 
I just watered her yesterday. And the soils drainage is good. Once I water it doesn't take long at all to get some run off. I'm using FF Grow Big and FF Big Bloom.
 
Start learning how heavy they feel when wet/dry. That's probably the best, stoner-proof, way to know when to water :weed:
 
Well again here are mine before and after due to moisture stress. And other issues. And I transplanted during this stress time too. Came back and now ready for flower. So Imo don't give up on her. Water less. Add nothing and let her do her thing. Once she's bounced back then add nuts. If MG soil it has nuts in it which will take it to 6 weeks or so.
 
Yea that plant looks like you cut a branch off another plant and just stuck it the soil. But yea it looks over watered just let it dry out.
