Here she is, my last surviving plant. She looks very sad, and I don’t know what I’ve done wrong, please help.
I started growing in a closet, then outdoors. That all failed. Then I spent a metric crap ton of money on an indoor system, and several attempts later, it’s still failing.
What am I doing wrong?

-Method: Organic soil
-Vessels: ~ 1/4 gallon clay pot
-PH and TDS of Water: 5.5 - 6.0
-PPM/TDS or EC of nutrient solution if applicable: n/a
-Method used to measure PH and TDS: Ph meter
-Indoor or Outdoor if indoor, size of grow space: indoor, grow tent, temperature and RH controlled
-Light system List brand and wattage/spectrum: vivosun 300W LED, currently at 65%
-Actual wattage draw of lights: ?
-Current Light Schedule: on 18 hours, off 6
-Temps; Day - 74-79, Night 66-70
-Humidity; Day, Night: What am I doing wrong?
-Ventilation system; Yes, No, Size: 2 6" duct fans, 1 inbound, 1 outbound, both filtered
-AC, Humidifier, De-humidifier: humidifier, dehumidifier
-Co2; No
I’ve been doing 100-150ml (3-4oz) every other day, unless the soil still feels damp - not super exact, but that’s what I do.
I will stop the water for a bit and report back. Thanks!
Stop watering. she’s drowning. let her dry out for 4 days.
Other than that, looking healthy, hella GREEN. the brown edges are from overwatering…she’ll bounce back. VEG Stage doesn’t need a lot of water. Try to adopt a watering schedule like every 5 days.
For starters I would recommend only using fabric bags, that clay pot is not letting enough oxygen to the roots. Your ph should be around 6.5 going in for soil, and you should only be watering every 3-4 days at that size, maybe a bit less because of how small the pot is. The bottom of that pot could be holding a good bit of moisture. Cannabis likes a drench to drought water routine. When she starts drooping then it’s time to water.
First off welcome to the forum. Also welcome to growing in soil ! Are you planning to grow organically or are you using salt nutes? Looks like dveryone has you covered. Main thing is fabric pots cannabis prefers a dryer soil. You want your soil to be able to breathe. Your roots need oxygen just like we do. Cannabis prefers dryer over wet and using fabric pots allows you to manage that more efficiently. Next is lighting. You want at least 100 to 150 watts per plant for dense growth. I like to stretch mine thin but seriously though, this group is a great encyclopedia of different styles of growing. I myself grow organically. If you would like check out my profile and follow the link to my grow log check it out! we will have you growing trees in no time!
Thanks all!
Was planning a transplant this weekend into a 1G cloth pot - 1 have 3G pots if you think that would be best.
That should also give her some dry out time as well…
Welcome, and good luck moving forward. I know that one plant is getting lots of love. Clay pots are definitely a handicap growing cannabis. Looking forward to seeing your success.
That plant will be your first harvest as long as you stick around and take the advice
Drought to drench, let her dry all the way out, and fully soak her, repeat repeat.
She likes LOTS of space to grow roots and lots of air, make sure you’re adding perlite to your soil at a 70/30 ratio. Be selective with your soil and let us know what you choose before you chuck your plant into it.
Gotcha I shall use a summon card and call upon the mighty @Storm who may have some input on your organic soil.
I would say pop her in the 5gal dude if you have one on hand, wont be overwhelmingly big but will give you a good yield to repay you all those lost plants
