PLant Dying HELP!!

[sgtjones12]

IDK Whats wrong I used a ph meter and the PH is 6.5 AND I use CFLs and Miracle Gro Start soil and I think its because the cotelydons have browned and almost fallen off.

Give us some back story.

How old is this plant?

What type of meter do you have? When was the last time you calibrated it?

What type of light are you using?

What type of ventilation do you have set up?

Did you feed with anything or are you just using water?

That plant looks older then a standard seedling. It also looks like it might have been fed. I use seed starter and plain water for the first 2-3 weeks and get way more growth than that.

Classic case of over watering. Droopy leaves and yellowing starting from the bottom up.

I am inclined to agree with PJ. 6 weeks old and that size says you might have had some other problems that your plant needs to rebound from. You need to manage your watering so that you get the wet/dry cycle going. It promotes root growth. Water well and then let it be till the pot feels light and the soil is dry. Constant watering does not help your plant.

Ok thanks I will do that starting today

if that seed is 6 weeks old trash it. IMO it a weak genetically changed plant that you'll have harvested other plants 2 times before it's ready to even flower.

I've got to say that I agree with ozzy. Plants this stunted usually never really recover. I would plant 2-3 more seeds and try to give them a better environment so they can realize their potential.

He had it in some nasty soil I believe before transplanting. I would agree with you but he still needs to get the process down.

That being said, sgtjones12, if you have more beans dropping a couple in some seed starter from the beginning might not be a bad idea. It might take longer to nurse this one back to health and get it back on track than popping some new ones. Just a thought.

Go for it..use the seed starter with a little added perlite. Don't feed for the first couple weeks. Just plain water. Try and get a good wet/dry cycle going. It will help you get strong root growth which is always a good thing. Once you start feeding make sure everything is ph'd to 6.5. Good luck and Green Mojo.

Man That's your best thing to do IMO just starting out growing it's better to grow plants wanting to grow, not a plant that needs nursed thru life. If"your set" with everything you need to start out, I would a good genetically growing plant will pass that plant in 2 weeks and in 4 weeks block the lights from it

If you using Miracle Grow don't add nutes just water. At least not until flowering. Ive seen people have good results with MG just adding water no PH no nothing. I think you problem is your soil has no perlite and you are probably over watering add that to the fact your lights are probably insufficient or not close enough. If your up to it, start a grow journal with your next grow. There's plenty of people here who will keep an eye on your grow and guide you too success.
Good luck to you!
