welcome to RIU! what is that they are in and what are you feeding them? they look hungry. i'm not a cannabis expert but the experts will want to know too. don't give up--the plants want to live! ;-)

What are you doing for soil? That is where I would start the evaluation because I'm guessing your roots are not developing very well.

I'd then look at your lighting to make sure you have a good spectrum.

Ok I use regular spring water and I have nothing to feed them with because I honestly don't know what to feed them and I'm using all purpose potting soil

what kind of lights do you have on them??
you can order some nutrients for them online, you can get the trio of fox farm nutes for about $50 or so.. you can tons of other nutes online as well, ff was just an ex..

the plants are yellowing . that is a major problem . you need to feed them . if you have a homedepot or lows or any hardware store around you need to buy a liquid fertilizer . ( plant food ) . almost any will work . there are numbers on the bottle . example say 10/10/10 perfect for you . or a 10/7/13 so on and so on . try to find the one that has the numbers the same . and this will be much more easy for you being a beginner . they plant will grow just fine with that . and FOLLOW the direction . make sure there are directions how to mix for indoor potted plants . I know miracle grow and Viagra grow both will work just fine got you and a liquid . and wont change the ph of the water . be aware if you use a solid fertilizer it will lower the ph .

I read your post... I felt for you, then I clicked on your picture...
Ohhhh man... They are very sad, they do not like living with you.... they look like they want to die...
I'd like to help your plants, [not you]... however... by the looks of them, they would be better off dead....
Two months old... seriously... so for the last 6 weeks before now, have you even wondered before now in those six weeks...
Like what the fuck is going on???
Look... I am taking a different angle here....
Give Up... Move on and just either start over... or just buy... those will never yield more than 1-2 grams... QUIT the plants want to die....

With just a water and soil grow your plants should have been a lot bigger. So while I agree they need to be fed, the bigger issue is they hate the soil you put them in. Next time do some research on how to set up your soil better. If you run with 1/4 potting soil, 1/4 perlite, 1/4 coir, and 1/4 earthworm castings, you'll see much better results. Lots of soil recipes out there so do a little research and find one you like.

Na...Na cracka. TG still have some hope left. I been in his shoes before. This is what in did. I was like u. Where the F do I buy nutes? Home depot? Well,,, why not? Go grab a bag of miracle grow POTTING mix. Grab a bottle of Cal-mag. Transplant your hoes into the new soil. Add a teaspoon of Cal-mag to per gallon of plain water. Water the broads and let them sit until they are thoroughly dry. They will bounce back. Mines was like yours a month ago.

Dont start over man, u can nurae them back to health.


Start by raising your lights an inch or two. Next, u need to get nutrients asap. Liquid nutrients are easiest. For the first feeding mix at 30% strength. Wait until your pot is light to pick up (soil is almost dry) and up the nutrients to 50%.

From this point on alternate between reccomended nutrient dosage and plain water every watering; upping the nutrients about 20% each time until full strength is achieved. I too out at 80% recomended dosage with most brands.

If u cannot get any nutrients you can use your own urine for a nitrogen supoliment. Google to mix ratios. :) its a desperate measure...but thise are desperate babes
