Help! Tips of leaves burnt, Plant looking as pale as my ass cheeks!

Hey guys its my first grow and my plant is looking a little worse for wear, any ideas what it could be?

I water it every 2 to 3 days if thats any help and I'm located in Australia. Chuck another shrimp on the barby! Haha

Peace

What's in your soil and have you fed it anything?

Soil is just some standard potting mix, nothing special. And I gave it a tiny spray of some thrive shit mixed with water after it started looking like this.

You need to start feeding it. We start weak nutes when the 3-bladed leaves first appear. If you had them all on hand, I'd suggest 1/2 strength Fish Emulsion, roughly 1/3 strength 3-10-1 Guano and some Maxicrop mixed together. I wouldn't expect you to currently have a Ph problem but I'd reccomend any grower get into the habit of checking the Ph of both the soil and any new fertilizer solutions.

Yeah I really need to get myself a Ph meter asap, so this is a nute defiency problem? And what do you mean by Guano? Thank you so much for your help man, much appreciated!!!

I'm leaning towards overwatering given the appearance of the new growth.

Water when the planter is light. Lift the planter often. When it feels OUTRAGEOUSLY light that means the soil is dry and is ready for more water. Young plants need ounces a day, every 4 to 5 days sounds about right depending on the temperatures down under.

Yeah Iv'e only watered it after to top layer has gone crusty as all shit. So from what Mother's Finest said, is it Phosphorus defficient?

Peace

What is Guano? Bat or Seabird droppings. It comes commercially as light tan to dark brown powder that is usually very high in Phosphorus, Nitrogen and many if not all of the micronutrients your plants need. Maybe you've never seen Ace Ventura 2. It's a funny movie if you haven't seen it a hundred times. Bone Meal is also very high in Phosphorus as well as Calcium. Since they come as powders, both Guanos and Bone Meal need to either be mixed into the soil for long-term release or made into a tea for instant release. There are threads on tea making in the Organics section. Other great fertilizers you might keep an eye out for include Fish Emulsion (N & all micronutes), Blood Meal (N & Iron), Worm Castings (little N, Mg and other micros, no Iron), Kelp Meal & seaweed fertilizers like Maxicrop (K and a little N) and High Potassium Ash.

Since it's still small, most ferts would be best applied at less than full strength.

Not knowing the PH level is a huge problem.

You have to control the PH, or you will never get a healthy plant, imo.
