Things have gone south once again for my cannabis seedlings. Two of the four were males and the two others became stunted once again. Drastic measures need to be taken for my next grow, as I feel the soil even amended is no good. So I have bought some new soil that is known for growing good cannabis plants and going to give that a try. A more “premium” soil will be new to me, as the nicest I have had in the past was miracle grow.
I am a little confused on what exactly is wrong with my old soil, I added the nutrients.. and PH tested their water and its all in check. And after my recent failure I amended the soil with half of a good seed starting mix. Things were going better until around week 3 again where growth stopped, yellowing and black starting showing up. And about a week later they were wilting.
A week before... The black tips of the leaves were not a good sign, one of the first something was going wrong.
I have been feeding them a plant tea which should have what they need for seedlings. And I was being careful not to over water them.. only giving them a tiny bit every 6 or so days.
This change in their health was quite surprising as they were putting on vigorous growth for the first few weeks.
The one I topped at its third node also started yellowing shortly after and its new growth stopped developing.
And then I found a second male plant, I am going to avoid getting more "regular" seeds and focus on feminized. As it can be quite annoying dealing with the males.
Though I am pretty sure the one I topped is a female, it should have kept growing and not just started turning yellow like it was.
We can see where it was cut, and new leaves formed but then stalled all growth.
Around a week later one of the seedlings that was going to be topped soon stopped growing and withered.
So at this point I decided to remove what was left and start over, but with all new soil.
Along with Happy Frog, I used Ocean Forest at the bottom of the pots.
And a few days later my new seedlings are growing now.
So small, yet I hope they will grow into something big.
Three of the four pots now have germinated seedlings. One pot is lagging behind, may start a new seed soon to replace that pot.
I think this time I am not going to top them, since these are all the same strain now and autos. I think they will stay quite small.. Well I have never had a successful auto crop so time will tell.
As for the old dirt, I bagged it up. Not sure what I am going to do with it. Seems like some plants do not mind growing in it. While others like the cannabis is quite picky about it. So I may add it to my garden beds outside.
Smart call going with feminized seeds too regulars can be such a gamble, and after all that work, dealing with males is just extra frustration
Chicken dung is the best nutrient to fertilize the soil.
Nice.. good to know
That's a real bummer about the last seedlings man, but I feel confident you'll see great results with that happy frog. All of my trials with it produced good results for seedlings. Best wishes on this round, looking good so far!
Yeah sucks to start over once again.
Hope this soil works better for sure.
Hopes and dreams come true sometimes :D
I'm also shocked about the growth of the plants. I didn't know that it could be turned out like this. I hope you can be successful this time.😊
Thanks hopefully they will be happier the next time around
You're welcome. I hope too.😊😊
Maybe it's too much water my friend, I don't know much about marijuana plants, but usually if the plant has too much water it can turn yellow, and another thing my friend, maybe there's too much fertilizer. I don't really know either, but that's what I know about plants, so I apologize if there's anything wrong.My brother, ❤️
Thanks it's hard to say for sure but hopefully I'll get it right next time
Thank you very much, my friend❤️
Good evening my brother.
I also don't understand why your old soil can make your plants wilt, some even turn yellow, but buying new soil is the right choice.
Hopefully with the new soil your marijuana plants can grow well and healthily. Greetings♥️🙏
Yeah I hope the new soil will help
I'm very sorry about what happened with your cannabis plantation, I hope that everything is going well with this new soil that you have acquired
I hope that with the feminized seeds you don't have any more male plants
I hope that you can give the soil that you have discarded another use
Have a great day, dear friend @solominer
I do hope I can reuse the soil some how.
Thanks hope you do too
I can't believe this is happening to you. Ever since I can remember, this is the first time you've lost the entire plantation.
I hope that with the addition of the new soil everything goes well.
@solominer
I wish you much success.
Ah yeah having some bad luck it would seem
In every region, it is used as a drug and as a treatment. What are these plants for?
I like to use them to relax
Off course mentally relax
Greetings brother, good luck with everything you do regarding cultivation, as always everything well detailed and argued, always outstanding for me is your publications.
Thanks much glad you liked my post
I use the same type of bags for growing tomatoes, these bags tend to dry out outside quite quickly compared to other growing containers. Are you sure that you have enough moisture for your cannabis plants?
I am now a Hive witness and would really appreciate your vote.
Oh good well I hope this stuff works better for me than the last.
Nice.. you got my vote. Good luck processing your first block
Thank you! Still waiting for my first block :)
Good luck with the new soil, that has to be the problem, unless there is something in the air, lol. I have been battling sooty mold, fungus, and lichens on my plants.
Yesterday I repotted one of my favorite plants, a double Rose of Sharon. The old soil had broken down and stayed wet. I took half of it out and mixed Miracle Grow with the old. I hope I did not screw up, after reading your experience, I should have used new soil. I will keep an eye on it.
Ah thanks.. yeah hard to say the problem for sure.
Hope your rose of Sharon does okay with it's transplant

poor little plants.. but I hope they grow nicely for u now. 👊😉😎🤙
Yeah sucks they did not make it.
😣👊
Growing cannabis can be such a trial-and-error process, and it’s frustrating when things don’t go as planned. It sounds like you did everything right with the nutrients and pH, so it’s strange that the old soil still gave you trouble. Hopefully, the switch to Happy Frog and Ocean Forest makes a difference! 🌱💪 It’s good to hear the new seedlings are sprouting—fingers crossed for a healthy grow this time! Are you planning on sticking with autos for now, or will you try photos again in the future?
I'll probably do autos outdoors so I can get more harvests but indoors I think I'm better off doing photos
it could happend, it is a bad news :(
Yeah bad news indeed
Wow, what a challenging journey! But with new soil and feminized seeds, it seems like the chances of success are greater. Hopefully this time the results will be satisfying! Have a great day!
Thanks.. I do hope it goes better next time
Hope you have a good day too
If a poor pH value and a lack of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium or magnesium can be ruled out as the cause, then only two factors remain. The light supply or the irrigation. Here it is important to find the ideal balance.
Hopefully I'll find the right balance
I think there is something strange that happened to the seeds of your cannabis plants, it seems that the soil is the main cause in this case, which causes this cannabis plant to be Malay gradually, maybe you replace it with new soil, of course after I see the new cannabis seeds starting to appear even though they still look very small, but I hope they can grow to the maximum of my friend.
Thanks I do hope to grow them better next time around
it looks like your cannabis plants have more met with me, I hope hopefully growing quickly. As information, apparently marijuana in our place in Aceh is really the best and usually planted secretly not legal because yes I also want to look for it because I want to
Ah yeah well here it's legal to grow so I do not need to be so secret about it
Hahaha that's a bit difficult here but I really really want to plant it too because I hear many benefits for
I was very sad to see the seedlings turn yellow. They were growing very well. I think the yellowing is due to the cold weather, lack of sunlight and overwatering. I think they will overcome this.
Ah yeah well not sure what caused it exactly
I had a similar issue, but with a meadow where we grow grass to make hay for our cattle. Every year there was less growth. Last fall I sent a soil sample to a lab for analysis, where they found a great lack of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which are essential for growth and health of the grass. This spring I am planning to fertilize the meadow, to eliminate those deficiencies. It might not be a bad idea to get some soil by yourself insteas of buying it, sent a sample to a lab and fertilize it by need.
Good luck!
Ah okay that may be the secret.
Probably should get my dirt lab tested.
That sucks bro but I know that won't stop you! Looking forward to seeing your new babies!
Indeed gonna keep trying
Hopefully in the future your marijuana plants will be better, considering that the soil has been replaced, so I think there should be nothing wrong with the plants, good luck🤗🤗🤗
Thanks.. I do hope it was just the soil
Why not take the soil to the laboratory for some good testing of nutrient and acidity, there might be alot of things causing this though, the weather condition, the fertilizer used i think all aspect should be evaluated
Hi my friend, I hope you are always successful and stay enthusiastic, my friend.
I hope that next time you can get females, I'm glad that you are sowing.
