hello sirs and madams,
i have a problem and would request it be addressed...i believe this may be moisture stress, but what do I know. I have about ten little lads growing vigorous, however, recently(probably around yesterday) one took a turn for the worse, if anyone could help diagnose I'm sure this guy will be more than happy...as of now the action i took was to move it outside for direct sunlight.

water it................ Plus your soil looks a little thick, roots could possibly not be getting enough oxygen

it looks wet. if it is and indeed roots aren't getting o2, the last thing needed is more water. not much can be done here actually, aside taking it out, washing and repotting in lighter soil.

Hi, First Post. Your plant looks like it's just 2 or 3 weeks old. You can try saving that little plant and it may recuperate. I've recuperated these little plants in a hydro setup that suffered from o2 starvation in the roots. The top part of your plants root network should not be wet all the time, or it will drown, which is what appears to be happened. The other guys are right, so if the roots are still OK, just repot that plant and only water it when the top inch of the dirt is dry. Peace

ya think? I'm not arguing I just know that Since i have switched to ff that you actually have to either lift the pots or see when they start to droop. But if it is wet then you need to let it dry out otherwise it will die

Peat pots tend to dry out quickly. If it looked like that before you watered it and the container was dry, give it some time and it will most likely perk up. In that case it just needed some water; don't let it get completely dry, water when the container has lightened up. No as easy to tell with little peat pots, but it will still be a heavier when it is wet and very light when it is dry.
