Hi. She's been growing since late march from seed. Moved her indoor and I've been using a combination of homemade willow water and a nitrogen supplement. But then she started doing this.

It is a she...right..because she stinks.

Are you poking holes in the soil like that because the water isn't leeching down through the top of the pot? That's a good sign that you have a soil mix that's too dense. The water should immediately sink down into the soil without manual assistance.

My guess is you are damaging roots from poor soil drainage.

No I poked poles because it was taking way too long to dry out. Water level drops just fine. It was mostly sand before. Now it's a compost/sand mixture. So I need better drainage?

You have proof of this? Because miracle grow is toxic. I don't use it because there's no way to purge it from your plants.

Do you have proof of this?

People don't use Miracle Gro because most of their formulas are slow release, really bad if you're only growing on short cycle because it tends to have excessive nutrients that the plant doesn't need. You never need to "purge" anything from your plant when using Miracle Gro, it's simply too much for a plant and can burn it. BUT Miracle Gro does make natural products too that can be used in the cultivation of cannabis. Nature's Care is a Miracle Gro potting soil that according to several forum posts on the internet works just as fine as most other organic soils.

Given what you just said here and that state of your plant you got a lot more research to do before you pull any kind of optimal harvest. I'm working my way there myself, keep up the good work man.
 
Its your soil medium ... No perlite or drainage ... A pre-mix soil is so much easier than what you are using. The roots NEED drainage and adequate aeration , which allows root ball to grow . There is definitely something wrong if this has been grown in march. In that time frame you could have grown and harvested by now.

It was from a seed, nota clone.
 
yeah that thing is spindly and stunted from no oxygen to the roots, get that transplanted into a proper soil mix.

mg is fine but you have to know how to use it ive seen plenty of people use it its just not the best. its still npk.

Not sure, looks like nutrient burn. But bro, that soil looks like straight up mud. If it's as dense as it looks you're going to have all types of problems. Root rot being at the top of the list. Is that just dirt from outside? If so, in the future add some perlite or vermiculite so you get better aeration and drainage.

It is a she...right..because she stinks.

You need way better drainage, yes!
