Hello guys im new here n im new to growing but ive done my homework, somewhat,and i have a problem with my plant.i have it outside where it recieves direct sunlight from about sunrise(6ish)to 3 pm,its in a pot im using miracle grow moisture control.i fed it light plant food at about 1/4 strength and it was 2weeks old when i first put in the food and a few days after it seemed fine no burn or yellow leaves so i decided to add sum more a few days ago.it didnt burn before so i assumed it was fine.i added the pour n feed miracle grow plant food n the day after i noticed burn spots on the tips of the new leaves. flushed the plant and watched it.stayed the same.then i read somewhere that miracle grow is bad and has time release food and that that mightve caused the burn spots.i also started to see the seedling leaves turn yellow and start to droop.last week i also bent a leaf when i noticed the yellow by accident, the seedling leaf,and it snapped...is this supposed to happen? it seems like there dying but idk what i did wrong because they where like that before i added the food i just thought it would clear up or something


i checked my plant a few moments ago to make sure it was ok because it just rained pretty hard and it seemed fine,but when i got closer to it i realized that something didnt seem right so i went to take a closer look n saw that the leaves were droopy and sad and the leaves had this wierd browinsh slightly purple splotch on them,they were only on the bottom leaves though and the burn spots stayed there.... i do have pictures but they were taken with a camera fone can anyone help me n tell me whats wrong with my plant?

id say transplant it into new soil/larger pot and bring it in and put some cfl's to it 6-3 is only 9 hrs of sunlight they realy need upwards of 14-18 hrs of light

I know exactly what happened since it is exactl what i experienced in my very first grow! I remember it all like it was just yesterday! First off Miracle Grow contains Time-Release Plant food! When a plant first sprouts and grows throughout its first 30 days it should not require any plant-food or nutrients. Feeding it too many nutrients or plant food will cause nutrient lock to your plant. Second when you added the other plant food at 2 weeks you without a doubt burned it & I'm sure right after you fed the plant the food you probably didnt water the soil down to allow the nutrients to be properly dilluted and broken down. When you dont water after feeding you are causing overkill to your sprouts which i making the leaves and plant droop. run a fan 24 hours in a grow area and allow the roots to dry out before watering again. Remember never feed your plants until they are at least at their 4th week of veg!

Stop trying to shove Steak down that babies throat! LOL
She doesn't need those nutes.
They might help you later on but not right now.
Just give it water Ph'ed to about 6.5 and wait.
7.0 Ph is neutral and not optimal for Marijuana.
The only nutrient you should worry about in this early stage is a good organic source of Nitrogen.
Marijuana is self-sufficient and really only needs water, air, light in sync to thrive!
