What are you using for a medium and nutrients?

A mix of peat moss, soil, and perlite
Using small amounts of stuff Givin by a friend not in their original containers so I don't know what their instructions or mixes are. I admit I don't know what I'm doing as this is my first grow.
I'm most likely no where close to anything good for a setup rn.
If there are any recommendations for nutrients or anything and during what stage it would be greatly in appreciated.
Looks like a couple of things, over watering is one. Wait until the top inch or so of your soil is dry to the touch. It also looks nitrogen deficient. What type of light are you using?

OK i will lighten up on the watering.
What's a good way to fix the nitrogen deficiency. Again have no idea and appreciate the help
And right now they are under a single 65w halogen until I can get full spectrum leds
I have a second bulb and housing I can put them under 2 and keep them far enough to not cause heat stress but close enough to not waste light.
I watched a couple videos that said a halogen wasn't good but would work.
Halogen isn't very good for cannabis, when do you think you'll get your led?
I know it's a personal question but how much can you spend on an led light? If you can spend a little more then look at Mars Hydro leds. Smoke Sarah is a customer rep for them and she's available here on 420Mag. Don't waste your money on those bulbs.
Def check into mars lights that halogen may be the issue on top of the overwatering. Got good drainage?

Good drainage wholes in bottom of container water doesn't sit on top for more than a second
Talk to Sarah before you spend your money, she will help guide you in the right direction.

Agreed with overwatering. But the one leaf makes me question ph of the soil. But they look healthy enough I'd give them a little nitrogen after they dry up and see if anything else progresses. I think you'll be alright pal
Looks to me if they got hot when they were seedling. I done the same 6 led bulbs to close and no ventilation or fan

I had the worse one in 100% peat moss and I read after that peat moss has a high pH so I took it out and put it with the rets in a mix of about 40%peat moss 50%soil and about 10% of perlite
Not 100% sure but those are the closest numbers I'd say
About the nitrogen what should I do
I'm new to this so any good budget products recommendations are greatly appreciated

They have had ventilation and I have a thermometer at about the height of the upper most leaves and it's about 75-80 all the time I don't think they are to close as its the lower leaves and not the closet ones
General hydroponics make reasonably priced nutrients, others may have some cheaper alternatives.
Yeah temps are fine. I think rooster nailed it... she probably didn't like that all peat mix. You should be ok with that mix you do. What soil did you mix with it?
