Watering a plant is a very basic task. If in the past you havnt been able to keep a house plant alive then growing cannabis isnt a good idea.

i believe i last watered this past thursday, if the medium is too hot should i flush it and check the ppm or just sort of keep watering oncr every 5 days or the knuckle/1inch soil test and hope for the best i have no more seeds n hope i can learn from this plant before ruining my future grows
Your medium looks really dodgy to me, I can't see any perlite in it, this doesn't mean much but tells me it's not aerated well, and water retention will be in unbalanced, if you can't repot into something simple like ffof or bio bizz light mix then I'd recommend doing what above poster said or trickle feeding

Tough call, definitely shouldn't mix different mediums in my view, if it was just overwatering the leaves would just be very clawed and wilted, they get fat with the water. Try and find out on the bags which has the least nutes in it and maybe repot to this, you could flush it a few times and try to get it more seedling friendly first then add about 20 percent perlite, some potting soil is good for cannabis, some isn't. Are you ph ing, I never ph water with seedlings, I only start to do it when there established. Good luck. Your in a damned if you do damned if you don't situation.

yeah no kidding, i put ph down chemical to lower the ph in the soil last week my tap water comes out like a 7.5 heres 2 pics of both plants today id like to save even the shriviled up one if i could both soils are wet at the 1st knuckle in i havent watered them since friday i wanna say, the alive one wont stand up without the tooth picks, the stem on it is much thicker on it than the dying one even tho the dying one is standing on its own.. i poked holes in the soil with a pencil deep down to help airate it this is my first grow and i read diff sites online before starting and just learning as i go i have fox farm nutrients all 3 of them but im not using them as i read if u start with a nutrient rich soil that for the 1st month u wont need to add any nutrients but i also saw the one method of using super soil and needing nothing for the entire grow he used like a bit of everything and mixed many many gallons together in a kiddie pool, i have a fan on the alive plant but still the stem is curved and wont support itself up straight and the light is about an inch away its a LED 10w flood light style daylight its growing 4 more leaves on top i am in limbo because if i add water now its over watering yeah? but also not watering and leaving higher ph water.. i had also read since the soil is rich and i know theres a bunch of microorganisms in there not having to worry about ph but i dont exactly have the exact soil mixture i read about altho my soil seems plenty rich? ive read countless sites and all the replies here but still unsure of how to save them best , ill fight till the end

when u say established how far along is that ? also if i had more seeds would u start seedlings in the fox farm or bio fix soil u mentioned?
i feel like if i used entirely that soil with the worm castings i had it would be wayy too rich i followef the instructions on the bag about using 1 to 4 parts mix i do see that i must of over watered my plants, also if u did put seedlings in a soil like fox farm or bio fix would u add nutrients when u start the flowering phase or would it be rich enough in nutrients that for the entire grow u just water the plant no added nutrients

I dont like the look of the soil. Too woody.
The one seedling is a goner.
The other has a chance.
I would do nothing as suggested above. Just leave it to its own device right now.
Very creative toothpick trellis.

If you scrap it and try again you got some good advice above.
Better soil. Barely water.

Get a light mix soilless medium like bio bizz light mix or equivalent, plagron etc. Use the paper towel and plate method to crack your beans. Pot up, don't ph the water , mine is 7.3 I never do it until they're going in final pots( or I add nutrients , very rare) and In it's early years some strains definitely won't like it. You shouldn't need to give nutes until about 4-6 weeks from seed even in a light mix usually it gets me to final pot then I start adding nutes and ph. I veg from seed for 6 weeks. Or you can jump from light mix ( for seedlings) to a heavy all mix that should last you all your grow but imo you'll see deficiencies of some sort in flower this way early.stop reading everything , otherwise ul mix info up from different growing styles and some don't mix well. Kiss, always, there is no right or wrong way to grow weed.

if i wanted to use 1 size pot and 1 heavier super soil for the entire life of the plant and just water it what size pot would you recommend and what super soil would you recommend?
Also earlier i was confused when you mentioned mixing mediums isnt so good i was confused because the bag of soil enricher says to mix it 1 to 4 parts it also says it lasts up to 3 months, you seem to get my dilemma, i did read alot of different info from diff sites i even read something about someone getting sickly from indoor growing lol idk but thats another topic
in my mix i mixed in 1/3 soil with the worm casting not quite 1/3 perlite and the rest of the hyponex soil i sort of layered them all and then mixed them around the pot i have some perlite on the surface of my soil but most is mixed below the surface i probably could have used more seems like but then again i read to not over due it if not adding nutrients yeah im having that problem of so much info but not sure the best route being a new grower

That's the trouble, you can do it, I just don't recommend it, you'll need a heavy pre ferted mix for the full length, some seeds grow fine in the hot all mix some strains don't, so, you get the same brand but two different fert levels e.g. Bio bizz light mix, this you use for seed and veg(4-6 then when you transplant to final pot you then use the bio bizz all mix, this should see you another 6-8 w. Depends on strain etc. You can just put seed in a big pot of all mix and grow straight through but I doubt it will be enough nutes inside for three months, I doubt it will go without deficiency when In flower, very strain dependent. You need to make a supersoil like subcool but honestly if your new just kiss,pot size is normally a gallon for every month it will live, so , one month veg, two month flower is three gallon pot etc I'm sorry i misunderstood also, Iv not seen the mediums you used before, if they recommend mixing together. I understand what your trying to achieve, you need subcools recipe, I'm not sure if it's good for seedlings or seeds though, most probably ul have to do them and repot, check the thread about suncools supersoil and Itl tell you what you need to know

i have more questions for you,
im going to acquire more seeds hopefully and then try again with 3 gallon fabric pots. i see this guy on amazon reviews is using 10 gallon pots but that seems crazy big.. my plant thats alive is growing new leafs on top still daily it also seems the leafs r drooping more though and its turning a light green like lime color , still a little moist up to the first knuckle, im guessing its a combination of over watering and possible defiency from high ph? i attached another picture
of it. i was wondering also for how long into its growth/size can i use this 10w led flood light daylight bulb? i have a 600 watt led panel from ebay but for 1 plant im sure thats over kill? also wanted to ask if this growth seems stunted or normal persay, i planted the seedling on the 3rd of this month, i did germinate it in a moist paper towel between 2 plates and it sprouted overnight
the strain i have is Lucky Charms. im hoping in a few days from now say wednesday i can water this with 6.3ish ph water and help it out or should i wait longer even if the soil feels dry because of previous over watering etc
