Hey everyone, first off I just wanted to say I'm new here and thanks for clicking on my thread.
About 4 weeks ago I found some bagseed and decided to experiment with growing the herb so I germinated it in a paper towel and planted it, it grew normally and became a fast-growing healthy young seedling. However, this was about a week into her life and I had to leave for 3 weeks for a vacation (already planned, I know I shouldn't have planted it, I just wanted to get it started before I left) so I asked my friend to look after it.
Fast-forward 3 weeks, I come back, I expected the plant to be pretty well off and having those iconic pot leaves already growing - nope.
4 weeks old and my plant is pretty much only a centimeter (or less?) taller than during it's 1st week of life, the first two fan leaves are yellow'ish, bent down and dead on the ends, newer leaves are a healthy green though.
It seems as if the culprit is overwatering, my friend was watering it when the SURFACE was dry, he didn't bother sticking his finger in the soil or even bringing the plant in the shade when it rained. I've been home for about a week now and it doesn't seem to have grown at all, I'm thinking I really f*cked up, could anybody offer some insight?
Age: 5 weeks Height: 2in Strain: unknown Soil: Miracle-Gro
Set-up: Outdoors, I live in Hawaii .. . (sorry if I forgot any other deets, I'm tired)
If you guys want a pic I can do that tomorrow morning.
Thanks for taking the time to read about my flop, I really appreciate it.
