Okay guys, so this is my second grow as I fucked up the first one pretty bad. I have 3 seedlings going at the moment who just started there third week since being planted. I have 2 Lemon Kush and 1 NL x Skunk
My Nl x S is not looking too good, its been growing the fastest out of the 3 but Its been getting these what started off looking like burnt tips, but now they're like grey?

What is this? I haven't used nutes and Im like %80 sure nothing Ive used has had nutes in it. (no slow release soil)
The Humidity is at %30 and temp is around 30C

also my 2 lemonkush are looking okay, though one is droopy and loosing colour?

I have been very carefull on watering and might have even been underwatering, I didn't water them for a week because It felt damp in the soil, and they all looked fine, but then one of the female kusk plants started turning yellow with its seed leaves, so I watered them all.

Tl;dr Why is the first plant having burnt edges? Why is the second plant drooping?

Soil feels dampedo_O? it can be a cause of over-watering, lack of oxygen reaching the roots, with the burnt tip is another indicator for over watering. Is there proper drainage? is the soil kinda lose and not too pressed?

in the last 30 sec the video she points out brown tips for over watering

Also lack of nutrition gives the same result, I remember my blackberry tree started to give yellowish leaves with dark brown and grey tips as if someone burnt their tips with a lighter. I asked a veteran gardener, he told me it was due to lack of nutrition and I just needed to give it some fertilizer and few days later after the fertilizer new green leaves started to replace the damaged ones.

there are other stuff that can cause yellowish leafs in plants in general, like lack of light, lack of water, too much calcium, nitrogen deficiency, or worse.. viral infection. :sad:

The soil has excellent drainage and by damp I mean I felt moisture, like it wasn't dry. But I watered it for the first time after a week long dry streak and the water ran straight through

1 dry week sounds like a long time.. did you water it recently? and was the yellow color there before watering? if yes and yes check it after 12 hr see if it's starting to recover; leafs starting to lift up.

here is a link to a thread; first timer was afraid to mess up on watering their sprout, one of the member recommending watering every 2nd or 3rd day which most guides agree to that.

The answer was yes and yes.
The first one with the dried edges is looking worse then it was before, but also better, like the colour looks like its coming back, but that weird burn on it is bigger. But the ones that were drooping aren't as much now and are growing taller. Just hoping this dried edge thing goes away

burnt edge has brown and grey section?

If yes, that sounds lack of nutes, be wary sprouts can die if you give it too much nutes. what will happen if corrected the plant will grow new leafs and the burnt leafs will fall off. I usually ask an experienced gardener advice on the amount of nutes especially with small or young plants.

If no grey tips only brown, sounds like it was dehydrated and it's recovering, the brown stuff won't go away, new leafs will come out and the damaged one will eventually drop and get replaced with a new one if watered properly.

plant is growing taller is a good sign, soon it will grow new leafs.

ps: I am talking from what I see in other plants in my garden I don't know if cannabis is a special case; all the gardeners I asked told me most plant are the same when it comes to needs to sustain life and growth.

Hey thanks for helping, and I think I might try just water for another week or so as the new growth is looking healthy. I have never had good luck feeding, always end up giving too much :(
Here's how she's looking now

I'm as green as you when it comes to feeding and a lot of stuff, I like seeing other peoples problem to learn symptoms, common mistakes and rare cases from other members and finding the answer. You can learn a lot from the forum's guides and youtube guides, I really like this one because it has a lot of details and shows you, if you got 60 min to kill I recommend watching it:


the guide is divided into 2 main parts, first guide for planting using soil 2nd is for hydroponic since you are using soil it's the first section which is at the beginning of the footage.

Grey tips on your NL :( I'm afraid watering is not the only issue that's a sign that the plant needs nutes, nitrogen or bad pH or too much calcium. If you haven't added calcium to begin with then there's a very poor chance that high calcium is the issue.The pH you need a pH gauge to check it and us pH up or pH down to deal with it if it's too high or low.

If you have not gave nutrient so far then that is surely the problem.

for the nutes I looked up this for you:
