Hey guys
This is my first grow and I'm really enjoying this new hobby of mine thanks to all info on this forum. I have a girl and she is my greatest purpose on life recently. I planted her about 4-5 months ago. At first i did not have any lights but then i decided to buy some cfls and made a grow box myself. The plant was doing ok but three weeks ago, the leaves in the bottom started to turn yellow and fall. I read about it and thought it is nitrogen def. But when her middle leaves become dark green and started to curl producing a "claw" i looked it up again and it says nitrogen toxicity. Even though i wasn't giving any extra nutes, i flushed it and the problem is still there. And the worst part is that the plant never grows anymore. The top cola is starting to get dry and crispy like its burned. and the new leaves grow like small and dried. Please help me i don't want it dying.

Re plant it into potting soil/seedling soil and a much bigger plant pot & continue to water every 2-3 days with no nutrients

Not enough light + Needs to be replanted.....
she should be in at least a 5-7gallon container...
the light can't penetrate to the bottom- so those leaves die and drop--
She is starving cuz you do not feed her (what "Stuff" from the store is she planted in!?) AND is most likely root-bound....

Fixable!!! But You want to use good soil and proper nutes according to a feeding schedule...
Get some Miracle Grow Organic Choice if it is the only "good" soil you can get and a cheapo Plastic tree pot (7 gallon) and replant her... water her in really well... then get some nutes....! ;)

yep needs a much bigger pot, but since it's already flowering you may be fizzucked. grap any pot thats about 2x bigger than the plant you see above the soil line, and thats about what youll be stuck with.

if you grow dope in a teacup youre gonna get tiny plants.

protip: the size of the plant above the soil is roughly equal to the root system size. if you would have a hard time stuffing the foliage into your pot, then your roots are crammed in real tight.

you could transplant that little thing into a 1 gallon milk jusg with the top cut off and some holes in the bottom and get decent results.

if/when you re-pot it, DONT fertilize, your new soil will have nutrients and this will make your roots spread. also, thin out the lower leaves to get some air moving down in the undergrowth. snip all the mostly yellow leafs and discard them


EDIT: and dont believe the garbage you hear about Miracle Grow being shit. it works good, if you use it right, it's the noob's friend

Thanks for all replies. As for the pot, you are right but since I do not have enough room for a 7 gallon pot and really tall plant, I won't go that big but I am definitely gonna replant her. I will inform you about the results.
