WHATS HAPPENING TO MY PLANT!!!

[Ganja_man95]

iv noticed for a few days now that the branch in the middle of my plant is very droopy and a lil bit curved and almost looks like its a bit dead, but what i cant work out is that this is the only branch on the hole plant that is doing this, im using a 65w CFL blue spec grow light and a full spec 15w florescent light, im useing MG all purpose compost that feeds up to 3 months mixed with perlite, i water when nice and dry (every 5-6 days) and i have a small fan for air circulation.

i would go with to much N, also dont use compost alone it needs to be an additive to perk up soil...NOT BE THE SOIL. its too rich and causes problems. i personally dont like anything with time release or that feeds for prolonged periods, you lose control that way unless you know how to deal with that. your one branch could be just the start of a sad face.

but i dont understand why just this branch would do this, and there isnt anyfing i can do no tho is there, i do greatly regret useing this compost tho

step one- buy some decent soil. fox farms ocean forest is a good way to start.


step two- let your compost dry enough to easily remove it from the planter.

step three- gently rinse root system by what ever means you can. thus removing compost from root system(or at least the majority of it.

step four- transplant into new soil and hopefully recovery.

step five- dont feed for a couple of weeks.

like i said that one branch might be the sign of things to come. the time to act was yesterday.

i dont have that sort of money at the moment, is there any cheaper good soils? and doing all the that could kill it and that branch has been like that fir a week now and no othere signs on the plant are occuring

I would tend to agree with Mededcannabis, his 5 steps for your plant are pretty spot on. Good compost is very rich in nitrogen, phosphorous, and magnesium without the time release fert added because of the decomposition process and can be very damaging to fledgling and early vegging plants in large quantities. I would get it out of that compost asap if you want to prolong its life. A good bag of organic soil should only run about 8 to 10 dollars, I use Natural Gardener & Bloome ($9.25 for a 2ft^3 bag at my local nursery), just look for an organic non-ferted soil. Hope it goes well for you

Could you post a full view pic of the plant as to get a good perspective of it's overall development?
