ooooooh I didn't even see that link, thank you sir.

Ok so the plant needs "flushed" so the water runs actually out the bottom?. Dam I guess I should have knew that.

What about the constant light though?. I seen a post saying these "Northern High Light" seeds once they germinate you can keep the light on the 24/7?. Would this not exhaust the plant?.
No. Flushing will just release more nutes at this point. You didn't have to remove the plastic. Just poke holes in it.

If that is mg soil just water it when it needs it without running a bunch of water through it and releasing nutes. Keep in the dry side in mg.

I guess you can flush the soil before you use it but not at this point.

And when you do water definitely have water run out the bottom depending on how you are growing will dictate how much water runoff you actually want. And most importantly make sure to evenly water to ensure there are no dry spots. I normally start from one side of pot and water towards stem then rotate and do the same thing. I try to make sure the water is evenly distributed.
I kinda said just that about 3 posts later lol. I start at the first plant and when all 25-30 are done I go back and do it again. Real pain but it works ;).

Give it 18 to 24 hrs of light. It is droopy because it was overwatered before and then flushing made it worse. Be sure your container and soil is well draining. It's got nothing to do with richness; the roots need air to breathe and saturated soil is choking them off. Go buy a book on growing and read it. Here's a link for a T5 I suggested earlier; I use this light for plants seed to early veg but not sure how well it will flower out your plant. If you want a single light for all your growing needs get a 400w or a decent quality LED if you have the means.

I definitely have no complaints on my viaspectra and should be more than enough for a 4x4 space...but for sure agree the soil needs good drainage otherwise you might as well give up.
 
Awwwwww its lookin bad for the poor girl. Is there still a chance of savin her?.

You know what i think happened?. The original problem was lack of drainage and possibly light. Though when i took the plant out to take it from the plastic bag the soil crumbled but i held it together and replanted.... I think ive damaged it when i tried to take it out and replant. Id imagibe the extension roots would be very fragile and id of broken the weak ones.

Can it still survive?. Im apatient man and not to worried about the time or quality of it. If i can save it idcall that a success ☺

Relax & the soil dry out. Be patient. Of course it can survive: give very light waterings for the next few weeks. Spritz only as needed. The bottom fans may shrivel and die so look to the newest growth for signs of improvement. Think about a lighting upgrade and maybe a better soil mix for your next grow. It is true you actually get better at this each time you do it; go figure.....
That being said I think MG soil blows. Looks like you are using that time released pellet stuff. Like white says it feeds as you water so if you overwater it overfeeds as well. It's great for a patch of outdoor annuals you don't want to feed all summer but not so good IMO for growing MJ indoors in containers. It has some kind of soil conditioner added for moisture retention and of course those crappy pellets full of "plant food." Not saying it cannot be done with MG impregnated soil because I know there are growers who use it for outdoor cash crops. Consider a simple organic garden soil for next run; maybe add some extra perlite for aeration.
 
A guy was saying to order a 400w light but i cant have a massive light setup in my living-room lol. I ordered one of these 200w lights. It will have to do. Im using the MG blue plant food, it disolves into clear blue fluid but not pellets.

I will try a different soil and order good plant food in the future.

Thanks again for being patient and helpful.

she might, if you can stop sodding about with her,
everyone is telling you,
Less is more with this Weed!

plenty of time to go for a lolipoped/scrogged/LST hydro-monster after you have watched
how the things develop, and got a feel for this marvelous plant,
take the advice given and try again.
 
The top part has gone but there is still a root in there so not giving up on her.

You know what i just thought?. Maybe im giving it water thats to cold. Its a long winter here in Ireland and the tap water is really cold. I think it should of been room tempature plus id need to leave water sit in the open for a day rather than just pouring it on straight from the tap.
