Newbie Needs Help

Okay...first grow newb here.

I am growing skunk I picked up from Amsterdam Seeds.

Growing in soil Fox Farms Forest Mix... it was perfect PH when I started.
For the first week it was looking good. Fast growing. Nice and healthy.

Then... I had to leave town for a week. Left watering to a friend. Three days later... I just received phone call saying that leaves were turning yellow and some wilting.

The water is a solution of H20 with Grow Big and a bit of Big Bloom. I am trying to follow the Fox Farm schedule (but a bit diluted from their suggestion). I premixed before I left.

The photos are attached. Can anyone give any advice?
I haven't had friend yet PH yet. I told him to just water with H20 not fertilizer solution till I figure it out. Oh ya... he is only watering once a day. The mix has very good drainage.

I had my friend take pictures and email them me. They are attached.

Thanks in advance!

looks like overwatering to me.let them dry out real good. don't water for a while. they should perk back up.g/l

overwatered, you only need to water and should only water when the pot is almost totally dry. Killing your plant with kindness is what is happening, also NO nutes for at least 3 more weeks, I mean NONE.

ya check the ph make sure u dont have look out as well try to aerate the soil a bit so i t can dry up

small plants use very little water if your temps are ok

yeah, what twisty said. The soil already has nutes in it, are you pH'ing the water?

thanks for the replies. I have instructed friend to not water till soil completly dry. And then only plain water. I return home in 5 days so I will hopefully be able to recover the plants then. I'll post results then.

made it home... plants fried to a crisp

lesson: don't trust anyone to care for your plants.

starting over. oh well.

Ok... its been a few weeks since my plants friend.

But the good news is... I've started over and the experiment is going better than ever.

learning the hard way sucks. but at least youll learn. should be thankful they were only a week old.

They were 3 weeks old... but yes I see your point. At least they weren't 3 months old.
