Think she'll live?

[souldistortion]

Never grown before, Nor have i really read up on it. Everything i've done so far has just been common sense. The first 3 pictures, are when i was growing her outdoors.

wasnt a real attempt, but after how long i watched her grow, i clipped off any yellow, not seeing much. but when i snipped a little off the bottom leaves i was horrified to see her die on me days later. bottom leaves eventually fell off and it was at that point i decided to take her indoors. Im broke, so this is the setup i have for now. do you think she'll live? im gonna take extra special care of her.

Number one: if that's tinfoil you are using, DONT! It can create hotspots and burn your babys leaves. Also, I haven't heard of anyone clipping leaves of marijuana plants- it just stresses them out. Your plant just needs a low stress environment right now. In order to help out more, we need your specs: what kind of soil she is in, approx temp, any fertilizer being used?

as small as it is i dont think i need to worry about hotspots yet. but is that really true? burn the leaves??? ouch. If i could afford some potting soil id be sure to get some but i have a lot of soil from my backyard that ive mixed well.

Potting soil is the next thing on the list. I just hope she doesent die before then. I really, truly , and honestly, have no idea what the fuck im doing btw, so thanks for the help.

haha well im working on my first grow too, so basically any info i give u i have found out from fucking up. so no worries. potting soil is pretty cheap, i like to use just some basic stuff like with sand, perlite and peat moss. the sand and perlite act as drainage, and the peatmoss holds water really well. but yeah, tinfoil can burn the leaves. it concentrates the light into a harsh ray. i dont really know how else to explain it. um but anyways, theres not really too much else to say at this point. when they're little, all they really need is light and water. keep reading through this site and you will learn lots!

are those even cfls ?

[souldistortion]

yeah, if she lives, im gonna be in the grow section a lot more often :thumbsup:

i dont really see why she wouldn't live. if she has less than 4 sets or 'real' ie serated leaves and she is yellowing, it could be because she is too hot, or the soil she is in is too strong. if she has more than 4 sets of true leaves, she might need some nutrients. let me know whats goin on.

ps: i have had seedlings that looked waaaaaay worse than that, and now not only are they doin great- they are all females!!! (if u stress plants out too much they can turn male btw)

thats good to know. ill keep it updated. if this plant lives, you'll know about it. if it dies. this thread will die. shes looking actually a little bit healthier since last time i checked her. should see some solid results by tomorrow

from the last pic it looks like your growing it in a medium that air cannot penetrate, the roots need oxygen, alot more than most ppl think, like i say, it looks like that, for all i know it could be good growing medium, but thats for you to know and me to speculate....lol good luck
