It looks like over-watering or bad soil to me maybe both. at that stage I think you will have to start over you could try saving it but I really doubt you could. For the future so this doesn't happen again what are your grow room settings / watering schedule.

I didn’t think I was over watering it. Maybe wrong first plant ever . Trial and error . I’m growing inside in the windows while seedlings. Then going outside with them. I feel like I should have put them outside a couple days ago . Hopefully this one needs up . The stems seemed week the past few days . What would be a good watering schedule for something this size ?

Growing in the window seals is usually known to cause stretchy seedlings but what is your growing medium that would depend on how much you should be watering l. But with seedling its even more important to let it dry out a little between waterings

I know mg is bad but I started this just randomly. Only using it for a little then transplanting into something good

Before you start the new pipeline, I highly recommend you do a bunch of research. https://growweedeasy.com is a very good place to start.

I think I’m gonna start over haha . Didn’t think I would get it on the first try . My other plant looks all stretchy . I did a lot of research to begin with to start but I pieced from different sources.

Should I just take this one down ? Seems to be just as stretchy . Or would putting it outside in the sun help it ?

I think this one looks healthy. I would transplant with good soil and bring the soil (Add mycorrhizae too) up to about an inch below the growth. The other picture looks like it won’t make it from my limited experience.
they don’t need a lot of water at this stage. I water from the bottom when they are this small. I use a shot glass of ph’d water and put it in a Tupperware bigger than the pot then place the pot in the water and it sucks up the water while allowing the roots to grow. In soil I PH the water to 6.3-6.6 using citric acid. You can use lemon juice& lots of other things but my favorite is Alaska Naturals PH down.

Definitely dont use mg cut a straw lengthwise a couple inches long and put around stem for support i definitely wouldn't give up yet even if something happens to that one its still more experience you are gaining for next time but definitely research some more before you start another batch you will need to invest in some better nutrients but look up over-watering problems solutions so you no for next time also if u do keep that one stop using mg immediately

Try starting in solo cups as well or a smaller container that will help you with over-watering as well because it will dry out faster and your roots will expand in search of water

What would be a good soil that I could find at Home Depot ? I’m gonna order nutrients online I think

If there is a hydroponic store near you you can find a great soil there for cannabis and great prices (in my opinion). They also have nutrients if you go that route.

I’m thinking the fox farms online for nutrients. Would just like a basic compost work for the new dirt ?If there is a hydroponic store near you you can find a great soil there for cannabis and great prices (in my opinion). They also have nutrients if you go that route.

Start the plants under some cfl light bulbs look up some DIY cfl light set up's for seedlings and grow them for two weeks at least under the lights a few inches away from the plant.

Get pro mix, perlite, worm castings, and a bag of organic compost. Mix the pro mix and compost together add two cups perlite and three cups worm castings.. Great soil mix.
