What on earth is going on here!

Hey lads, recently started growing 2 plants in a wardrobe I've setup, a ladyburn 1974 and a super lemon haze. The temps have been sitting around 25-30°c under a 200w led which I have dimmed down to about 50%. Plenty of moving air with fans but they are doing next to nothing and looking very miserable as u can see in the pics provided. This is them coming up on week 3 also! The lemon haze is also yellowing from the bottom and getting dark spots forming on it. The only thing I have not done granted is PH the water, but could that really cause such an issue at such a young age? They are in solo cups with a "premium soil" from my local hardware store (which is what I'm guessing is the issue here) Also Ill add that the lemon haze also came out of the seed with only 1 cotyledon leaf which was very odd. Any feedback would be great cheers guys.

Just a quick update on how those sad looking plants have made a decent recovery after repotting into some better soil! The ladyburn still looks atad strange and compact but it's growing nevertheless lol

I had a amnesia haze auto do exactly what your ladyburn is doing. She never grew over a foot or produced anything but PM. But your scenario is a bit different. Switching soil seemed to help you alot. Hopefully recovery keeps going good!

Had the same problems mate, the soil in nz from most places is full twigs and bark. Get some canna terra. Worked well for me last year or so. Costs like $30 or so a 50 litre bag. Way better than the shit from the hardware store.

I make my own soil and wood fines and bark are essential for me. Helps to regulate any potential excess N. In order for any brown (carbon) to break down it needs a fair amount of N. Just a different approach to living soil. Point being, wood is good and twigs are twigriffic.

Ladyburn looks like it caught a virus

Ladyburn looks like it caught a virus

interesting, after reading this i done some research and i think you might be right. it seems to have alot of symptoms to "phytovirus". now i just need to find out if this is a spreadable thing from close contact so far ive read it can be spread from using the same pruning tools etc. big yikes
