Honestly I just went a simple bag aoil nothing special as I wasn’t sure how old the seeds were. These were given to me not purchased. Was planning on buying some nutrients but when they turned to what you see above I didn’t want to waste the money. Originally I did have the light pretty far away and then they shut up over night.

it could be a number of things. you haven't given enough info on just the pics alone.

go through this and give us the rundown so we can help.

Light is a starter light about 100w LED
I have not fed them anything other than bottled water and any nutrients that would be in the soil itself.
The soil is just a basic indoor potting soil.
Drainage should be good with the pots they are in as they have nice sizing holes. I also put a little gravel in the bottom just to be sure drainage wasn’t going to be an issue

ok for seedlings but they need better light fast.

get proper nutes

use proper cannabis specific media. kitten brand junk / miracle kill etc rarely works out decent.

the media itself is suspect. if it isn't balanced for cannabis you're putting yourself behind the 8-ball.

Check out the sponsors mate.

My choice would be for a starter light which would have no problem growing one big lady.
OR a few smaller ones would be the p100 or XS1500 PRO by ViparSpectra.
OR Mars hydro ts600 , a GOOD 100 watt light to 150 watt will grow you some good bud.
Just check the true draw some zon lights might say 100/150 watt but there not.

i think i'd backtrack and start with better media and nute choices first thing. at present they won't survive long enough for another light to make a difference.

they may be able to recover under the light you have, depending on what you are running, if you address the other issues.


edit : otherwise scratch this, start from the beginning with new seed, and we'll guide you.

That’s what I was thinking too. Get a couple new seeds maybe a better light and start over. Spending all that money on a possibility these may recover. I’ll try some outdoor light from the sun while it’s cool enough in the morning here in AZ

with a little planning it's not that hard. everyone starts somewhere. make use of the knowledge base and resources here. loads of folk will help.


you don't have to give up on the current plants if you don't want to. i always encourage newer growers to try run everything to finish for the experience.

even failing at this stuff gives you a lot of info you can use to get better. the only failure is not trying.

Hey @867530noine and welcome to the forum!

the media itself is suspect. if it isn't balanced for cannabis you're putting yourself behind the 8-ball.

I agree.. that potting soil looks barely composted (or not composted) ground up tree bark!

You could try Fox Farm Happy Frog potting soil, and use their liquid nutes for veg and flower. Dunno where you are, but it's common to find Fox Farm at ACE Hardware. There are other options as well.

good luck and happy growing!

Could be several different things, but at first blush they look like they were overwatered, which caused root damage, and now the weakened roots can’t absorb the nutes the plant needs. Let the pots get pretty dry between watering.

@bluter mentions, "...you don't have to give up on the current plants if you don't want to. i always encourage newer growers to try run everything to finish for the experience."

Use these as the experiment. Buy a bag of a known quality potting soil and transplant into this new soil which is a good practice for those who have no experience in transplanting seedlings or any plant for that matter. Buy some fertilizers from a decent and respected company and start to feed them using the recommended schedule the company provides.

The soil is reusable and it should cost less than 50 cents of fertilizer to find out if the plants are starting to recover. What is learned by trying to save these plants is worth a whole lot more. Seeds are expensive for starters. If this same sort of problem shows up with those seeds then the attempts to save these seedlings will have been worth it.

What you do is up to you but "practice makes perfect" as the old saying goes.
