Might be over watering or underwatering but if u been adding nutes that might be the problem cause a lot not all plant can't handle nutes in early life but from the looks of it is Probly ur water over or under ph or nutes its Probly not over or under watering cuz its a baby but also those leaves are going to fall off anything more than 33 percent damaged should be removed because u don't want the plant wasting energy trying to save a leaf
But don't stress when i first started my cheap light fell on my plant and burnt all the leaves off but I saved her and she only had 3 leaves after the light falling

Um, as post #2 is interesting, points 1,2 and 3 are irrelevant to your issue; I believe that information is in regards to high-tech freshwater aquariums - lol - it helps your issue not at all.

We need more information - have you added nutes (hope not)
Humidity
Temps
Lights
Everything else
??

1. Light. If you don't have a PAR meter, borrow or rent one. Or you can look at PAR charts to find the right height to set your light. Physically raising your light higher above your tank will decrease PAR values in your tank. Also you can decrease your photoperiod. You can probably get away with as low as 6 hours. The other thing you can do is remove some bulbs if you have too much light. Light is paramount and is the easiest thing to fix.

2. CO2. Harder to measure...there is a lag between drop checker response...about 2 hours behind. Also the drop checker will only measure CO2 reasonably well at one end of the tank. There is a more accurate way to measure CO2, but it is more laborious. I'll try to find link.

3. Nutrients- are of the least important factor. As long as light and CO2 are right, excess nutrients will have virtually no effect on algae growth. It is more important to have enough nutrients for plants to grow healthy than worry about too much causing algae outbreaks. In fact the EI method emphasizes dosing nutrients in excess. Healthy, thriving plants=decreased algae.

kellypinto, i don't know why you post anything! your comments have nothing to do with the questions asked, you provide incorrect information, and waste everyone's time. are you seriously advising this person to only give their plant 6 hours of light? i give 24 hours of light for the first couple of weeks and then switch to 18/6. co2 has nothing to do with this! i've never heard of anyone stating the problem with a plant was co2 related. as for the nutrients comment, a plant this young shouldn't have nutrients! without knowing alot more information, we can't possibly diagnose the problem. it could be lighting related (lights too close), could be overwatering, etc.

good luck to you thc707! kellypinto, just stop.

Why would you copy and paste that post from there to here?

Further what does caring for aquarium plants have to do with a Cannabis grow?

Are the browning, wrinkling tips still moist, or dry and crispy? I'm assuming moist. If so, this is what I would do at this point:

Trim at the red lines
Provide adequete, fluxuating airflow
Ensure temps do not rise above 80
Spray with a weak neem oil solution twice weekly

Yeah, I have to say hot soil. It doesn't matter if you have added nutrients or not, if there are time release nutes in your soil, they will burn the hell out of a seedling. Always start with a very light soil and then transplant to a hotter soil after your plants have the root/leaf structure established well enough to handle higher doses of nutes. Even Fox Farms Ocean Forest is WAY too hot to start seeds in.

It is critical that you tell us what soil you are using.

either that or its wet. in that .......soil. personally.......i like more perlite; especially when seedling/young plant.
if you haven't fed, and that is not fertilized soil, then wet roots is the cause of your stunting. either can do it, and look alot alike

I read a thread a while ago and buddy was saying he was getting perfect results from MG seed starting soil.

Miracle Grow is just the soil brand. There are different variations of Miracle Grow. Some hotter than others. Maybe he had a very light MG.

Either over feeding through the traditional way of giving too much fert...or over feeding caused by overwatering prenuted soil...either way let it dry out totally before you water...totally..not just on top...let the whole pot get really really light in between waterings and you should see that clear right up

Yeah that's what the subject of this post, that you copied to RIU, says:

AGAIN Why are you posting about growing aquarium plants on a cannbis grow site? I could maybe understand if we were discussing aquatic plants but Cannabis is terrestrial not aquatic. Maybe that's why you've had problems growing, get those plants out of the aquarium.
