In 2 days my plant looks like this! Help please!

Autoflower started stunted, then she came around and started growing rather rapidly in about 10 days. Plant is on weeks 6-7 from seedling.
I gave it some cal/mag
A little grow
And a little touch of bloom.

I read this was a good mixture for feeding.

Also has these stupid little fungus knats that I have been trying to get rid of naturally instead of with chemicals. I have it under 8000 lux.

PH meter will arrive today.

Actual strain is unknown. In order 3 types of seeds and they didn’t send them to me labeled.

Was giving it little water every 3-4 days. I see now that may be to much as soil never truly completely drys. I am learning much everyday and know I have made many many mistakes!

Any help please!! I’m considering flushing it this evening when I receive the PH meter.

Pictures are when it looked good to how it is this morning.

This is not a healthy looking plant for nearly 2 months of a 3 month grow time.

This actually says very little about what you gave your plant.

Search “support ticket” copy and paste it here in this thread and answer the questions in it as best you can. It will help the folks here figure out whats going on with your plant.

Very bad shape I know. I started in small plant and when transplanted it did nothing for ever. Not sure what you mean about copy and paste. How do I find the support ticket?

I followed instructions per gallon of cal/mag
Then did 1/4 instructions for grow
And 1/8th for bloom.

(My understanding they all have same or similar measurements for mixing?) But again I am straight greenhorn. One day a friend said try it so I did. No research

1 gallon water total. (Above nutrient) And then I filled a 16.9 fl ounce water bottle and fed the plant 2x with that 1 bottle. So 2 feedings of 8.4 fl ounce 4 days apart.

I turned light up a little also as I thought as they grow they need a little more light. I’m seeing I was wrong on that. When I get home I can post photos of the nutrients I purchased offline.

Main question is whether it should be flushed? I’m also not sure this is even a autoflower or how I would be able to confirm that.

Missed the “search support ticket” part. Will do.

Id def drill some drainage holes in your bucket. Shes drowning and unable to get oxygen to her roots.

I am feeling that also. Easy to do in plastic.

Agreed, looks overwatered. Let her dry out a bit. Welcome to the community. The guys around are super knowledgeable and helpful. Be patient and they’ll help you get her back on track.

So about 5 days ago I did drill holes in bottom and a few in the side down low.

I have some do si do auto seeds coming in today. So I think I’m going to get some 3 gallon fabric pots and try again with new batch. I will plant in final pot so no transplant and I will be very light in water.

I used fox farm last time but what do you all recommend?

Way better over plastic

FF ocean forest, FF cultivation nation 70/30, FF Happy Frog, all good ammended medium. Could also try Big Rootz Organic or promix hp.

Need more info on input and runoff
Not likely but possible

Labels on seeds but since none exist, is it flowering without you changing light cycle? Did you only order autos? Who did you order from?

Overwatwred is possible how often are you watering?

If have some cloth bags you can cut that plastic bucket down the sides. Take the whole dirt mass and drop it in cloth. Elevate it. It will dry quick.

Looks like a bit of nutrient burn tbh they didnt look very hungry to begin with, at least not for nitrogen. And a touch is very subjective ive used bloom amd a few drops can sometimes be enough. Also make sure to water a little less often let the medium dry out. Personally id rather under than overwater since thats usually more harmful goodluck

Root rot from bad drainage.
Stop watering it until the soil dries out and increase the lighting to 24/7 for a few days. The more light the plant gets, the more water it will use and the faster the soil will dry out.
Having said that, there’s a chance the plant will still die. Once the leaves start folding in on themselves it’s usually over. But give it lots of light and hope for the best.

The biggest killer of cannabis plants is poor drainage. If you’re using straight potting mix, mix 50% coconut coir in with it for future plants. You can also add some perlite if you like to add better drainage and aeration around the roots.
