Hello,
I am new to cannabis gardening but I am experienced in vegetable gardening so I have some knowledge about seedling, nutrition and other growing information.
I'm pretty sure I over-watered my 3 seedlings. I had them in a 16 oz red solo cup, Espoma organic seed starter soilless mix. The cups were not draining fast and I overwatered the plants for about week. I transplanted the plants into less soil and started feeding with 1/3 strength Neptune's Harvest Fish/Seaweed blend. The lower leaves have not recovered but it looks like some new growth in the top leaves. However, leaf drop is still present.
I am using t5 lights that are 6 years old. Is it possible the lights are not strong enough to sustain the growth or should I try foliar feeding to get the plants back on track. The lights are on a timer that is 17/7; watering with distilled water for about two weeks and the water ph level is over 7 but I have not checked the soil ph level. I am watering for the last week or so every 5 days.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
