what's up dudes, this is my first grow so i'm a bit of a newbie at this shit, planted 3 royal dwarf autoflower seeds just over two weeks ago, germinated them using the wet paper towel method and worked perfect, put them into multipurpose potting compost and that's where they've been for the last two weeks, i came down this morning and the plants looked fucked, they've been looking perfectly healthy until today, although i this is the first time i've checked them in two days here's the pictures, i plan on transplanting them into my spot i'm doing a guerilla grow, the soil i have in my spot was prepared last week and it's a mixture of peat moss/john innes no.3/farmyard manure/perlite, any suggestions as to what's going on or what i'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated!
first grow, need help!

Hey thanks for the reply, been watering with distiller water every time, it was just woodies DIY brand multipurpose potting compost, I tried searching for it on the internet to find a link but couldn't find it, says nothing about what's in it on the bag, two days ago the plant with the crinkly leaves just had some small brown spots, came back today and it was like this

my guess is the soil you used is not very well suited to growing cannabis and the Ph is probably a bit acidic which is leading to a magnesium deficiency as you can see from the white spots (chlorosis) the plant isnt able to photosynthesize any chlorophyll so its began to use up its reserves.
epsom salts can fix a magnesium deficiency diluted to 8.5 oz per 2.2 gallins

I would agree with the poster above...i believe your have a PH issue or a little bit of nute burn from the compost mix your using.compost can be every hot for little plants.I would do a little flush on them.run plan water though the plants for a day or so,until you are able to transplant them... do you have a PH tester??

john inns no3 appears to be a mix for mature plants and for the final stage of their life. It looks like the nutrients in the mix are too strong for these young ladies. I grow only hydro so can not advise on how to counter the problem but i am sure someone would be able to help soon. Makes me feel sad looking at those plants.

The bugs are having a go at em. Use some insecticide. Soil is too hot. flush
Thank you everyone for your feedback! If this was a nute burn problem should they not have shown signs of this very early on? They looked completely healthy for the first 12/13 days after sprouting, i haven't added any nutrients to the water I've just been giving them pure distilled water, I'm going to give the epsom salts a go and i purchased a cheap ph meter i am going to test them today and report back! I transplanted them yesterday as i really had to remove them from my greenhouse the family were getting suspicious, ill post pictures later on today

I looked at your pics again....do yourself a favor and get those other dead plants and pots way away from your plants. This could be just a bug problem caused by those other plants and pots nearby. Spray your shit. Im not sure what the epsom salts is for...

Definitely nute deficiency . I agree with these guys. Remember your growing pot not shrooms, if I were u I would stay away from the compost. I only use mg any type, even though miracle grow tends to face some harsh criticisms I barely have to feed and when I do I only use half the suggested doses get a box and bring them inside man, you will have a lot less pests to fend off in the end good luck.

25 not that bad infact its my temp i aim for indoors,i think the humidity may be a little high at some point during the day,take them out of the greenhouse during the day so the air will be more fresh and the wind can get the plants moveing around.
start feeding them ec 1,1
