Vegging plant having all sorts of problems...

Unfortunately I can't pinpoint what they are. The bottom leaves were yellowing and had necrosis but it had stopped growing and I thought all was well. Now the top leaves are dying and the baby leaves on the bottom are dying.

I'm really wishing I hadn't flushed it. Anyone have any clue what might be wrong with her and what I can do to fix it? If she doesn't improve in the next couple of weeks i'm going to just plant her outside and let her try and make it on her own but that will be very sad...

The light was too close, but I moved it. I haven't been watering it because I just flushed is a couple of days ago and the soil is still moist. I gave it some nutes right after I flushed it but have been waiting until the next watering to give it more nutes.

Looks like severe nute lockout to me....possible caused by out of whack pH. A flush wouldn't make your plant look like that, unless you were using really shitty water (Have you tested your water's pH?). When you flushed it did you water with three times the container size?

I haven't been able to test my water's ph. It is well water, I live in the country. I did use 3 ttimes the container size - 6 gallons for my 2 gallon container. The soil is still moist from that. There are enough drainage holes but I didn't put anything into the soil to improve water flow so it might be drowning.

I flushed because someone convinced me I had some sort of bad build up. It is almost 2 months old.

Well water is terrible. I have well water here (That I obviously don't use to water my plants). and it has a pH over 9 and is extremely high in sodium.

Like I said its nute lockout due to a high pH. Next time go to the local grocery and get jugs of spring water. (89cents a gallon). Personally I get 1 jug of distilled for every 3 jugs of spring water and that mixture equals to a 6.5-6.7 pH. If you are using good soil like FFOC or FFHF it will have amendments in the soil to buffer pH. Meaning you can water with spring water all day, give your plants the benefits of the trace minerals in spring water (calcium, magnesium) and not worry about your pH. Granted that the stuff in the soil will only last for a month or so but I like to add a fresh layer to the top every now and then and water it in ya feel me.

I am trying one last thing. I am taking her out of her pot and putting her in fresh dry soil. If she doesn't recover, then I will let her go.

And I'm also getting some ph testing strips from a friend tonight. Not the most accurate, but they should point me in the right direction. I'm not ready to give up on her yet.

So the grow is done. My parents found everything and took it all away. It was fun while it lasted though.

One love everyone and good luck with your grows!
