Please help! Plant sort of dying.

Something strange is going on with my plant. I started it up from a seed I found. I know... risky...

anyway, It all started when I tried to top it and LST too early and screwed it up. Since then the leaves have been slowly yellowing and dying from the bottom upwards.

At first I thought it was because the original soil was bad BUT MAINLY because I overwatered it... so then I repotted it.

Now I think I might have added too many nutrients to the new soil. I added blood meal, bone meal, worm castings, and some lime. I havent really checked the pH but it shouldnt be too far off.

After repotting it, the other leaves have still continued yellowing and dying. When they first started dying from the bottom I thought it might have been because I had been misting them while theyre still under the light and also because I might have made the neem oil concentration too high. But I stopped both of those things 4-5 days ago, and the yellowing has slowly progressed more and more.

Now there has been some new growth at the top and at one of the nodes- albeit a little slow. Theres quite a number of tiny leaves coming out and they seem healthy. But the older leaves have still been dying . It's been a very slow yellowing/loss of color then burning up. The leaves are still firmly attached and I havent tried to remove any.

What do you think I should do?


Here are some pictures I hope they arent too small. Currently I have 3 x 60 watt 5500K CFL and 1 x 55 watt 2700K CFL

You don't need to give nutes this early in it's life in soil.
It looks over watered.
just my guess.:leaf:

Hmmm I think perhaps your soil is too hot for such a young plant, get a seed starter soil and transplant them into that. Home Depot sells little bags for 5 bux or so and it works really well.....less is more sometimes.

Its not dead yet, Ive nursed back way shittier lookin plants! But if you don't need to save it dont waste your time and start over......you'd be surprised what they can do.

If it was mine I would transplant into starter/seedling soil in a smaller pot, water once good to rinse the roots and moisten the soil.....then just wait it out. Depending on growing conditions you have i would expect to see some progress in a week or less.

Plant sort of dying.
Its fucked. Bad nute burn, next time seed raising mix with perlite, no nutes till about week 3 (if its healthy) and no LST till it has branches.
