First time Grow, One Girl is not feeling it...What is wrong with her?

So this is my first time growing, they are "bag seed" from my dispensary smoke. The one that I am having issues with is from the "strawberry diesel" smoke. She is smaller because I started her off in a larger pot, and I think I was underwatering her. She is about 40 days old. I just watered them all two days ago, my husband showed me that I was underwatering them. The other two seem to be doing just fine, but this one is drooping again. She did the same thing with her very bottom leaves, but still continued to grow. These newer leaves are curling in and very thin it seems compared to the others. What could be the issue? Does it look overwatered or under?

They are in a mixture of peat moss and Organic Miracle Grow with drain holes in the sides and bottom of the gallon bucket. I am not a green thumb, and I am surprised they have made it even this far. Any tips on what could be causing the one to fuss is appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Slight observation; the one you're having issues with seems to have less perlite. Consequently it appears wet as well. If it were me, I'd just keep an eye on her water...be sure you have adequate drainage holes in those buckets. Otherwise, steady goes the course...be patient with her.

Thanks. Yes she was the first one, she has more peat moss than the others and less of the soil. There are three holes towards the bottom and then four in the actual bottom. I tried to loosen up the soil a little bit too. It is wet, but not muddy wet I guess. I moved her away from the fan air as well to see if that helps. She is my baby, the first one to pop, I don't want her to die. It seems like there is still new growth....I will let her dry up some and see how she is doing. I was hesitant about watering her, last time I did she seemed to do the same thing...

Keep in mind that a pot the size of your buckets has pretty large drain holes...be sure yours mimic that to a point. Otherwise, stay your course and just mind your watering. I'm sure you'll do fine. Good luck friend.

Not all plants need the same amount of nutrients. I would try feeding that one a bit more.

Well I read someone post not to add anything else to it since it was so bad for the plants being that small that is why I ask. I not it’s not a miracle they are still tiny. I was just cautious to add more to what it was already in. Based on others who used its advice.
I will try feeding her some. Should I wait until the soil dries some?

Miracle grow nutrients that are in the mix may be messing with nutrient uptake/correct ratio of npk etc. you can either totally flush you mix with clean water to remove built up salts or anything else that’s messing with uptake, or feed them a bit more as they look a little light green at the new growth.

Also MG “ feeds “ every time you water due to its infused into the medium.
Is that perlite ALSO a Miracle Grow product ?
Because if it is .... it’s pretreated with Nutes too.

Control watering as some MG is made to hold on to moisture ....
Also plants are sometimes on their “ own “ schedule in growth no matter if watering / feed is the same .... factors like sensitivity to feed , runty seedling , and just weaker health. Don’t dump anything on it .... let it acclimate to its host medium.
Sometimes the runts are the winners of the bunch.

they dont your correct they look pretty dang fine to me but i still think that one doesnt have as much root structure and is either a little shock as it grows roots to keep up is starting to get a root problem from damp feet or the lights just came on nothing i would really worry about If thats happy frog soil ditch it looks likes sticks and stems heh goto coco water once a day and be done

now that i see the pic before and after definitally overwatered you prolly just dont have enough root structure under her yet. ditch the happyfrog oceanic or whatever peat soil your using and get mother earth coco 70/30 water once a day flora nova bloom 5ml calmag 3ml phup 2ml per gallon starting from Reverse osmosis water and youll guarentee success for a new grower you wont set records but you will be successful and my comment about overwater wet feet on that one is assuming you have temp ph and ppm all under control properly

and in your second pic you posted where the top looks dry it looks like its still wet under neath take another pot fill it with the junky peatsoil dry and keep it then pickup both pots when the one with plant get close to weighing same as dry plantless bucket its time to water or if the leaves get super droopy its hard to underwater soil easy to overwater And for your own benefit Ditch THE HAppy frog :> go coco you cant overwater it almost

Which of his plants looks over watered? This is overwatered btw....

if anything, based on how soft the leaves look(see the folds in his leaves?), it’s more likely under watered than over watered....
