wilted yellow plants

[deadyellowplants]

Hi there,

Im a first time grower, and im having some problems. My plants seem top be dieing for some reason. They are somewhat yellow and wilted, they are 3-4 weeks old. Im growing outside so they get plenty of sunlight. im not using anykind of fertilizer at this time. Just watering and letting them grow on their own.My questions to you are..

1. why are they yellowing, what am i doing wrong
2. am i able to tell if these are female/male plants
3. are my plants pretty much doomed?

Looks like a PH problem.

What kind of soil are you using there? And no offense but those are pretty small for 3-4 weeks. :(

actually i don't think it's the soil itself i think it's those cedar (???) chips. i had a garden goin outside that i was growing tomatoes, jalapenos, etc. in and figured i'd put a covering of those in to keep moisture in since i live in an area that gets fuckin hot during the summer and little rain. the plants all started to look like that so i'd get rid of those...also check the ph of it like someone mentioned above.

Yea, thats what i thought. Im guessing there really acidic. The ph is prob well off.. :)

hi thanks for the replys.

I did a test on the soil the PH level was 6.5 so i think thats an ok level?
as for the soil im using is sierra organics, multi mulch 20-20-20. as for the woodchips they are just sitting at the topsoil, not mixed in. One of the plants actually looks much better little more healthy looking. but im pretty much stumped as to what the problem is with these. any suggestions would be great.


thanks

is it possable that they have been over watered overwatering is easy to do with young seedlings and will cause the roots to damp off and the plant to wilts and turn yellow make sure you have plenty of drainage that is verry important

good luck-Bomb

try getting rid of those wood chips, if they're cedar like i said they're very acidic and that can cause problems with the plants like i experienced. get rid of the chips and give them a couple days and see how they're doing.

March is awfully early for growing outdoors. The sun here isn't even up for 12 hours yet and it's still too chilly at night for them to grow. Plus the soil is too cold for root production...not to mention the soil you're using isn't right for cannabis and it appears to have little to no drainage or are overwatered.
