So my plant has looked like this for 3 days now.
At first i thought it was nute burn, so ive compeletly stoped using ferts ( i only used them once). No improvment, then i thought my lights might be to close so i moved them about 4 inches away. No improvment, then i thought i might be over watering and havent wated since yesterday morning. My soil is still fairly saturated and the very top set of full developed leaves are begning to perk back up. I think that this is a combination of 2 problems, Nute burn, and over watering, but im still worried about my girl. What do ya think? What can i do to help her? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

Its def over watered wait till the pots are almost dry to water again and there after . you can use hydrogen peroxide in your water for the next splash to correct the problem . it will increase the oxygen supply to the roots. but always wait till the pots are almost dry ganja needs that wet to almost dry routine to be happy

btw, the picture doesnt depict it due to low quality but on the leaves are yellow spotches and they were curling at the edges. If im not mistaken this is a tell all sign of nute burn, am I mistaken in that reguard?

ok.... that really helps then,,,,,it could be the combination....how old is it? i would let it dry out, flush it and give it a really low dose of nutes. maybe 1/4 strength... and after this only feed once a week

that thing is 2 months old? what lighting are you using? 2 months the thing should be alot taller or bushier. get some more lights!!!

gl in fixing your problem but i too would agree over water and maybe slight nute burn.

i mix my foxfarm growbig nutes at 1 tablespoon to the gallon and use it every watering. no burn yet.

i know its spindly and not bushy, that was due to the fact that when it was younger i kept my lights too far away and they streatched. I know i need more lights but unfortunatly im going through a string of un employment so the 2 that i have are gonna have to due until i get another gig.

ok so now its been 5 days since this problem occured. I havent waterd so as to let the soil dry out, and i havent added any nutes to avoid further nute burn. But the situation hasnt gotten any better, in fact its gotten worse. All of the leaves ( except for the ones just comming in at the top ) have begun to shrivel up and turn very crunchy. Im at a loss here and dont know what to do. The soil is still fairly wet so I dont want to water them yet. But i dont want my baby to be in this state of un-healthyness. Plz help.

are they getting proper light? it sounds like it's dying from lack of light. get your light as close as you can w/out burning it. use your hand between plant and light, if its ok for your hand then its ok for plant.

its been getting 18/6 for the majority of its life, i havent switched to 12/12 yet because i wanted to give the plant more time to grow because its so spindly, im using 2 18w Helical CFL's which probbly arent enough but im tapped for cash.
