Sickly plants

[CanGroIt]

- Initially I watered them a lot until the runoff PH showed 6.5 so I might have inadvertently flushed the soil.

- Because of the yellowing curled-up leaf, I flushed it with SledgeHammer flush to remove nutrients.

If you did flush the soil, then the yellowing new growth would be signs of a deficiency....

Crap soil if you ask me.

Definitely not the soils fault.... You probably did flush everything the lil ones needed....and overwatered them at the same time.... They grow best with a wet-dry cycle....

What size pots did you have them in when those pics were taken???

Sounds like you made it hard on yourself.... You need to use the right size pots, for the size of plant, for the proper period of growth.... Seedling = Small pot....like 3" or so.... After a solid root zone is built, up pot to like a 6-10".... And then Flower in whatever size is best for your space and final plant size.... And like already mentioned, let the soil almost dry before watering again....

Oh and welcome to the community....and don't worry about them dying.... Not everyone has a successful first try....what matters is that you keeep on trying....:jointsmile:....let the journey begin....

Sickly plants I must have the worst green thumb on the planet because I can't even keep a weed alive :( - Initially I watered them a lot until the runoff PH showed 6.5 so I might have inadvertently flushed the soil. -Temperatures are 75-81. RH is ~40% I have two seedlings in Ocean Forest soil. One of them has stunned growth and exhibits yellow leafs bent up and weird bubbles.
