Plant looks unhappy, leaves curly and yellow? (pics)

Heres a white rhino of mines that went wrong last year, look familiar ??? repot into properly drained soil, start feeding basic grow fert at reduced dosage for a couple of weeks, let compost dry out before watering and it'll go on the bud just the same--this sickly babe still gave about 3 ounces dry at the end even though its a poor poor specimen of growing skills I must admit, good luck hope you don't mind me introducing a similarly problemed pic into your thread but it goes to show its a more common problem than you think

Course I don't mind. Because this has happened to my plant so early on I'm hoping if she recovers it won't affect yield too much.
I think I might take the opportunity to repot as you say. Repot, a good water, and hopefully a survived plant.

You shouldn`t have a problem with that. Might take a bit more veg to get to the same spot, but you`ll get what you need if you let it play out

Should I mix perlite into the new soil when I repot to help prevent this happening again?

I mix 60/40 (soil mixture / Perlite) even if the soil recipe has perlite already. Roots love airy soil mate, just look at my journal, most recentpost shows my root mass after 2 weeks of `slow`veg. Actually, here:



This is with the the same soil mentioned previous. There is an actual recipe on the thread though. Happy growing bruvvamoff!

Update, the soil was dry pretty much to the bottom so I mixed some perlite with soil, repotted and gave it a water.
I have the plant sat on a layer of perlite for extra drainage.
Strange thing is I took a PH reading and it's gone to 7.
It may be the perlite or the water, I'll check it again tomorrow.
Plant looks like shit, bottom leaves are going crispy but top leaves are stretching again.

It`s adjusting, will look kind of ugly until the new shoots come in for you mate. Don`t fret

The whole plant is slightly yellow but I think it's over the worst.
I trimmed away all the dead leaves and there are new ones appearing.

 

[Bilbo Baggins]

Yep and the new wee leaves appearing at the top of the second pic are nice and green and pointing up towards the light, those bottom leaves will probably stay yellow, they seldom revert back to full green but the new leaves look good.

Eazy way to check water. stick your piny in the soil if its dry 2-3 inches down, ding ding, they need water. as for judgeing by wieght, baby plabts weigh shit, so compare a cotainer the same as you grow in, full of dy soil, and tada, compare. its eazy. after a few times with those methods, you are laughing. and poor lighting will not help either.
