Could be overwatering, could be lack of nutes. Nutes can give vigor too...Are you using nutes yet? How far along are you into the grow...Its gonna be a bit before you now the sex yet....

Good Luck!

Definetly overwatering - that thing is drowning - don't water it for like a week. It is much to early to tell sex.

Could be a few things - more info. on your set up??? Is that aluminum foil I see? What kind of light & how close is it? Giving it nutrients? Have you topped? Looks like you did. Need more information to accurately asses the problem.

yeah let the soil dry out almost completely in between waterings, just because the top of the soil looks dry doesn't necessarily mean that it is. put your finger down in there and see how dry it is next time. when you do this the roots will be searching for water more and therefore build up a greater rootmass.

also-- make sure you are pH testing your water- you can buy a kit many different places - before watering. keep it between 6.0 and 6.5 i'd say, and this will help the plant take up the nutrients it needs.

good luck you can make a come back haha

im gonna let them dry out, and it is aluminum foil. its my first grow, and the plants are about 6 weeks old, i just put the one in new fertilizer, so its not really as wet as it seems. but, i do think they were over watered. thanks for the help, what kind picture would give a more accurate view of my problems? ill take more and post if it helps

Get rid of the aluminum foil- it will damage your plant. Use mylar, or paint the walls white.

Stop watering so much- its much easier to correct underwatering than it is to correct overwatering.

Dfunk is probably right...hard to see water problems....I don't feed them shit till the 3rd or 4th set of leaves.....and start gradually...1/4 recommended dose and increase slowly...............good looking though...the big sin is trying to do it all in 1 day...............slow pothopper..

You can get mylar at your local Hydro store or at an arts and crafts store. Painting walls white I here is more reflective,

definitely overwatering. I concur.

Foil doesn't work well. If you cant get Mylar, flat white paint is loads more reflective then aluminum.

Hobby shops carry Mylar.

Honestly, i would just paint the inside of your box white. Its just as reflective as mylar, and cheaper.
