woooah you definately got a problem. looks like nitrogen over nute or very bad PH levels. I havent rea dthe thread but i would say check ph first. if ph is fine that looks like a very bad nitrogen nute lock then. But im more sure of bad PH levels because look at those mad curves lol. what water do you use? if you use tap water do you let it sit out for 24-48 hours first to let any cholorine and other chems that evaporate from exposure to air

Yes I always let water sit out for days and then ph to 6.5. The ph on runoff is also 6.5. I'm using super soil so it probably just shot them up early with nutes, because I started seeds in final pots...

In order to make a "supersoil" you build the soil. Sound like that is just overfertilized plant soil and its killing your baby.

It's stonington blend from coast of mane. A "super soil" created specifically for cannabis... Yes it's looking bad, but the other one is looking good after nitrogen toxicity, so hopefully the smaller one pulls through...

Just checked your soil two problems alot of people have apparently is is is way to hot 7-18-1 npk is not good imho. Also it lacks limeand people complain of bad ph lockouts using it straight.

You're right. At the beginning I had to ph at 6 to keep it at 6.5 and had overwatered too... Next week after that I lightly flushed to try n dilute soil a bit, and now I'm keeping them dry then lightly watered n test runoff... Fingers crossed

Calm down,
airyate the water - cheap fish tank thing for a couple of hours the roots take in oxygen absorbed into the water and they love it, use no feeding for 2-3 wk like callicarranrod (post 2),said.
lime's good for acidic soil and helps break up clay'y? soil, it's alkaline.
next thing to do is
1. Make a brew (Tea or coffe)
2. Skin up
3. Enjoy that your on an incredably uphill learning curve.....and Smile

Sorry, Tea = a hot beverage drunk by us limey's, Skining up is to make a Joint-Spliff etc.or you could have a pipe or vapourizer etc..this is a smilie face after skining up 
Fish tank thingy is a air supply with air stone to make tiny bubbles so the fish don't drown(sounds daft but that's fish)
Enjoy the read

While it's been through hell, it has grown daily and is over 7 inches tall with right nodes... It's nitrogen toxicity has improved with lime treatment, so keeping fingers crossed... I love the experience, and am learning so much... Even if I'm not terribly successful my first try, I'll still be happy I'm in the growing world learning... If I get at least an oz I'll feel accomplished lol. Cheers
