Hi everyone! so I am a new grower and this plant is not completely legal here so there is not a lot of resources for I to inquire and after studying many articles online I have determined that perhaps my plant is nitrogen toxicity, or maybe nutrient burned. this is the first experience so I could be not right about the cause. it was green and healthy and growing like weeds (excuse the pun!) and all of a sudden now it is browning, looks wilted but it cannot be from over or underwatering I have been so careful and read many articles

I's seed's came from a friend so I do not know of the strain but the plants the seeds received from were healthy, green and a good smoke. I sprouted I's seeds and potted them. I started with 3 seeds. One did not finish sprouting, one very weak died, and the final surviving plant is starting to wither. I have tried for weeks now and am sad to think about recycling it after all of I's efforts.

I am hoping someone may be able to shine some light into what I am doing incorrectly and how to repair I's plant.

I attached photos of the surviving plant and the leaves that looked burned.

The lights I use is very good it came from America is a HPS bulb and I use the natural sunshine. The plant is indoors I regulate the temperature of 70-75 degrees FAHRENHEIT and water plant two to three times a week bottled water when it is not heavy as usual and dry soil.

Also, apologies for any English errors it is not the first language learned and I have friend helping I to write on this website.

Looks like it's in too large of a container which could create a too wet (or uneven, too dry in some spots) soil.

My guess is the soil isn't good. Poor pH, improperly balanced nutrients.

I don't know what's up with it but I will say you just cull it and try again.

Looks dead. Not dying, dead. The new growth is what leads me to my conclusion.

thank for the prompt answer!!

Do you think if the soil is changed the plant can survive? Getting soils is easier than expected I used some fresh bagged from a shop not the outside dirt but there was different ones to buy so I would purchase a different soil from now

not any of the good soils available for other countries to grow in are available here so I have to try to make do but perhaps it is impossible after all

Hondagrow I agree I think it is dead too the other plant's did not survive, I's friend thinks it is possible to save but I think not. not many people can grow cannabis here because of the conditions but since I came across some seeds I thought I could give it a try. it is also hard because of space but I am lucky to have a friend who has grown before with a professional in South Africa and has some useful knowledge and supplies. I got a tent and the strong bulb, but unfortunately it did not work out. All I have is Bing.com - I thought all bag soil should be good quality but I learned I was wrong and I's plants need special nutrients and soil additives that I do not have available

I received five new seeds from a different friend this time so maybe I will try again, but I want to wait until I get the right everything so it does not ruin in the bad soil before I know if is a good plant.

If there is any chance AT ALL of saving that it would be with a spray bottle and perfectly pH'ed water containing a hearty dose of Calcium and Magnesium - and one drop each of fish poop and liquid detergent. Magical elixir. Its pretty dead though.

Did the bag of potting mix say whether it contained nutrients? You want something with little/no nutrients. In fact, you can grow in 100% perlite. If you can find peat, you could add perlite and dolomite lime and use that. It would be very light and airy. I add 20% potting mix to create a light soil (instead of soilless, which is what it would be).

It's possible it's not a soil problem. Maybe they died from no nutrients.

apologies orbo I think we are have a translation problem because liquid detergent means it is bleach and I do not think it is healthy for them to give bleach to the plants, am I misunderstood! bleach would have a bad effects for lots of reasons on the plants

Az2000 the soil I used i bought from a farming store and wrongly I assumed all were good and I bought one that my friend said was his plants are grown in. I cannot recall anything specific, except that it was meant for flowering cactus
