Looks like overwatering to me.
What lighting are you using? How far away? Soil type could be important. What type of tea did you make? Couple of more details about what's going on could help us help you .. Don't worry help will come .

Are you letting it dry completely between watering? Roots are very small right now and can only handle so much water... I always check the bottom of the pot. If there is any moisture there do not water. Hope this helps. Also when I have over watered in the past, repotting in new dryer soil can help. .-.

Thank you!!! And thanks to BirdNerd too!

Well... I have a pathetic little set up that has thus far been doing the trick. *please don't laugh* I started them on the porch in soil leftover from my flowers. I have no idea when they sprouted, nor what strain they are. I kept moving them in and out until about a two weeks ago. Now, they sit on the dogs kennels with a desk lamp plant lightbulb that goes on when I wake up, and off at bedtime. .

They are defiantly stretching for the light. See how tall and lanky they are? Other then that looks like its over watering or under watering, hard to tell because the symptoms look the same. What size gallon pots are those?

Wait so not even 1 gallon pots?? If that's the case your problem is probably root bound. You need much bigger pots

I don't think these are root bound yet...just make sure they dry out thoroughly between waterings... looking forward to seeing how they do. ..-.

The tiny light is too far away.

Your watering is probably fine.

Get more light and leave it on all night.

Oh please! I've grown adults in pots that size. Root bound? Pfft! Not even close.

As stated the lighting is terrible but that doesn't explain the wilt on the plant on the right. Over/under watered? Fungus Gnats?

I've seen plants get rootbound with large pots

Could also be strain type. I have three of 20 plants that does this. She's weird. All other plants are fine...the mother is an unknown strain and we took 2 babies and they are all acting the same..

I'm using 5 gallon pots and my flowering ladies are 7 feet tall and 8 feet around. Just fyi.
