Plants drying out and dying, PLZ HELP!

Captain Canibus said:

My grow medium is a mixture of soil, potting soil, compost and bone meal.. I water once a day, depending on how dry the soil is, and now that I think of it, this plants soil has stayed rather wet lately, which can only mean its not growing right? Ima post a few pics to give you a better view into my setup Iv got going on.. And I failed to mention, I had a spider mite problem a few weeks back, lost one plant to those sneaky bastards but got the problem under control after spraying the plants and every inch of the room only once.. Its a organic pestiside consisting mainly of neem oil and garlic extract. Could this have summin to do with my problem maybe?

the spray probably isnt the issue, the soil being constantly saturated sounds like overwatering. Have you ever used coco coir?, as long as it has a place to drain its nearly impossible to oversaturate and maintains a large air to liquid ratio, its also reusable and very handy for indoor and it can also be added to compost/organic mixes in order to keep the roots well aerated.

Now that youv'e mentioned it, i remember this plant was a slow grower at first and only started looking healthy a few weeks into flowering.. But i think your right, might be a combination of bad genetics and a weak strain, since im not even sure which strain it is.. But hey, this is my first indoor grow, and i clearly still have alot to learn. Thanx for the expert advice though, very much appreciated! I bought the hydrogen peroxide today and gona flush a few times before applying it. I saw you get it in diffirent concentrations, 10 vol, 20, 30 and 40 volume.. Took the 10 just to be on the safe side.. Think with my second grow i'll invest in some propper seeds to make sure i dont encounter this problem again.. I've read that indica strains grow much better indoors than sativas, and you get feminized seeds aswell.. Any suggestions of a trustworthy seed bank i can buy from? one that'l actually ship to SA?

i dont know if theyll ship to SA but they shipped to the US and over here the gov is real strict on all things weed so theyll prob ship to you, they conceal the seeds to make it look like a package/birthday present or whatever one time i got a free ipod sock cuz thats where they hid the seeds
