Pale green colour leaves, new leaves twisted.?

im growing this little plant for a while now and its very weak.. im worried about some sort of nutrient deficiency or a problem with the soil.

the bottom leafs are turning a very subtle yellow with little dots. the tips of the leafs are turning yellow and the new leafs on the top are very very small, not growing and are twisted.

i might also mention that it is a very slow grower.in my grow are i regret to say that i dont have any ventilation yet, but looking for a small fan.

ph of my soil is about 6.4

tip going yellow and little yellow dots, lower leaf



the top of the plant twisted growth...not very clear here



more leafs





the whole plant (unhealthy i know)

How did you measure the PH of your soil? Did you measure the runoff?

is that chocolate cake mix they are planted in?

Watering them too much... how often do you water???

Too high humidity could be a factor as well...

You need higher humidity in the seedling stage so don't worry abt that for now. 65-75% would be fine. The plant is small and the pot is big. I suspect over-watering and why is there a huge crack in the top. Like Scrog says it looks like cake mix with an earthquake tremor running thru the middle. You need to leave them alone and let them dry out to absorb the nutes. No oxygen is getting to the roots.

I have a soil pH meter . how do you measure the run-off?

yeah it's chocolate mix... its supposedly good quality soil i didn't use a specific mix just used soil from the bag..

i usually water when the top few inches of soil are dry...

so i should have used different soil??

thanks man ill try that....

I don't know but that soil looks like it has a lot of clay in it imo. sure it's bag dirt? usually bag dirt is less clayish and has perlite maybe add some perlite into the mix for better drainage?

The soil looks like the probs man the plants not recieving somethink cuasing the pale green repot into a good soil use a good veg feed and your be good .peace FUGITIVE 360
