Well, I screwed up and under-watered this poor plant. Don’t know what I was thinking, but once I started giving it water (water till it runs out the bottom holes), it perked up but the leaves start turning yellow and curling up very soon after new growth emerges.
For reference, it’s girl scout cookies, in 10 gal container, miracle-gro potting soil, spider led (about halfway power), about 8 weeks of growth.
Is it possible that the root system was damaged by the under-watering? What else should I try?
A one-off underwatering isn’t going to harm a plant.
Don’t worry about the lower leaves. It is normal for a plant to shed them as it matures.
I would avoid Miracle Grow in future grow. MG contains time-release nutrients that submarine your root zone pH and nukes your plant with nitrogen every time you water.

Water is likely releasing concentrated fertilizer pellets present in MG soil. Unfortunately MG is a poor choice for cannabis.

Ok, I’ve had decent results with mg, but will take your advice for future grows. Thanks for the help!
Looks like good advice above. The yellow curling could be nutrient burn from MG soil dumping extra fertilizer after watering. If new growth looks healthy, that’s a good sign. Maybe try a light flush and watch watering closely.
Crazy stuff please any advice this was my plant one day ago
So I watered it apparently way too much and added some 444 all purpose before I was just giving it spring water but in one night it looked like this I’ve drained it and everything I think this one is a lost cause but it was starting to mature
