I just had this same problem your medium is too wet, let the plant dry out longer in between watering.

3

Nitrogen toxicity,.possibly

4

Isn’t vermiculite a soiless medium?

ph for soil 6.7

ph for soiless 5.8

How are you measuring your pH?

5

Vermiculite is a volcanic glass material used for aeration in the soil it can retain water yes and expands to 1/3 of its size when wet

Best used as a soilless medium when mixed with perilite. Your ph is the problem, it should be 5.8 as @bob31 mentioned

These guys got you covered one thing your not using enough light at 12 weeks flowering she should be fat and heavy at this point i dont know if adding more light would help being so far along when i used cfl lighting i had 22 150 watt equivalent in a 3x3 tent and even that wasnt enough .
Hope this gives you some ideas
Good luck

Okay reread your post total growth 12 weeks correct okay add more light asap you want 50watts per square foot and she will be happy and give you a great harvest
2x2=4x50=200 true watts not equivalent
Home depot Y connectors and a long power strip
If possible even a cheap LED 600watt which most run at 245-280 ture watts and cost is 185.00 and under my friend

8

And on top of more light cut back on the nitrogen thats not good for her at this stage, you want more phosphorus and potassium this will help with bud structure and development, try to go for a ratio of some thing like 8-14-12 or 9-58-10 or 2-8-8

9-58-10 is commonly found in fox farm nutrients ie; open sesame, beastie bloomz, and cha ching

This is the other one . And I put the same nutrients , water and light as the limped one and look how it looks. I’m confused

11

How much water are you using when you water …
And how do you check to see if she needs watering…
To me transplant shock and over watering or both a plant that small shouldnt need watering every two days unless your using very little water each time the way i do it is
Lift pot fill weight make sure shes about dry like three days maybe four then water with about half gallon ph water 6.5
Dont water again till pot fills like it the same as first time if it takes 3 or 4 days thats fine
Also feel out support ticket let me call in someone that has one on hand and get second opinion @Hawkeye_diesel @Majiktoker hey guys got a supoort ticket i need to save one myself …

I water till I see it draining from the bottom , but I don’t over water . I water every two days , and I jus put my finger in a lil. I’m also using organic soil , it’s not bad . I water my other plant the same and it looks way diff than this one

13

Okay so maybe she was rootbound and that why she was looking that way before transplant and now it shock and in a few days she will recover
How long since transplant

14

Since Thursday the 16th

15

That’s because each plant is different an one.plant may like more water than the other. I agree that it may be transplanted shock along with over watering. You shouldn’t have to water that often.

I use the lift test works great for me others say poke a finger into soil to the knuckle but for me my top few inches day out real quick and i noticed that if a water at that point my plants didnt like it so i changed my method and been get every since
Hope we can get this figured out …

17

How did the tranplant go what i mean is did she come out whole or did soil break up did you lose any roots

18

Definitely loss roots . Bottom broke up a lil. But I was trying to be careful. And the shit jus started breaking off. The first transplant was great , everything was intact. The second time is where I loss roots

19

And the lift test is wah , jus to see how heavy it is ?

20

It is used to tell how much water is still left in the pot by how heavy it is
