Don’t think it’s pests g I’d guarantee it’s ph and lack on nutes
Just checked my ph from the tap. Ph of 6. Checked a gallon jug of ro water for my aquarium 6.3. Used some ph up to try and get it to 7 so I can ph my soil but it seemed like no matter how much I added ph stayed around 6.2 (with tap water)

thanks for being super helpful! I still don’t have accurate ph readings. The ph pen I got today does not work. It does not read properly at all even after calibration attempts. Gotta return it tomorrow.

My plants look over watered but soil was dry. Haven’t had any successful grows in a while. Is it my soil? Pro mix HP with some organic material mixed in. Haven’t fed anything, just water. I inherited this as a stretched seedling on first set of leaves. CFL micro grow. I believe the plant is around a month old. I know it’s a female as pistils are making appearances. What’s going on?View attachment 4762470View attachment 4762472
Too wet too long and hungry as fuck.

Hmmmmm, you say the soil was dry but it doesn't look dry in the pics.

Also, what do you mean by "organic materials"? Promix HP is fine as is until early flower, let alone with a plant that small.
Promix has no nutes in it and won’t get a plant by until flower. You’ll see deficiency within two weeks or so if you have a seedling in promix

I’ve grown full micro pc grows with less light and produced good stuff. I think it’s a nutrient issue. Gonna pick up a 3 part to start with as a beginner
No need for crazy formulas. Get you a simple two part. These guys using complicated feed schedules typically don’t produce anything more impressive than a guy using simple ferts..those three and four part feeds actually tend to get people in trouble. This isn’t rocket science no matter how romantic it may seem to Be the guy who’s mixing all kinds of bottles up and using ten pieces of equipment in their grow. It’s scams man. Totally unnecessary
