How often do you water? Soil looks wet, but you could have just watered. But your plant looks over watered, and maybe just a bit over loved. DSCN0113.jpg These were planted on the 13th of November. I was out of state for most of the grow and had my wife take care of them. I filled a grow bag with dry dirt and said, when the plants feel about the same weight as this bag, water them. There is no ph checking, she used our well water which is very hard water, and other than watering they were ignored. I'm not trying to say that PH and good water aren't important, point I'm trying to make is, if you grow in soil and used a somewhat decent brand soil, you shouldn't have these issues so soon. What do you use for fertilizer? Plants are pale and yellow.

Oh, and don't give up on it yet. One thing I learned about this plant, they're tough as fuck, they can come back from a lot of abuse.

Hey thanks!! I used some recommended brands- I generally wait till the soil is quite dry, so about 2 to 3 days then water with little less than a liter of water. I use about half a mil. of grow nutes. Before I did that with the root health nutes as well.
I try not to over water. Actually, I was afraid that I'm not watering enough. Or giving enough nutes. I used the highest quality grow soil available as well. Thanks for the advice.. you know, I was nearly at the point of tossing the plant and starting over! This is my 3rd grow, and I didn't have this problem before... and presumably I'm using better materials!

I trimmed the leaves on the bottom, and I low stressed the main cola, so the lower branches would spring up...

what was your run off ph??? it looks to me like a ph problem or over watering.. some times if your ph is off it wont alow nutes to flow up it locks out check ppm run off water that means water with ph'ed water grab something to catch the water with and check it for ph and ppm's see what it reads...

just balance it out flush with ph 5.8 till the ph is 5.8 it might take a while but thats the best way..

Where did your leaves go? Plants grow them for a reason you know. i.e. Photosynthesis and growth.

Hey! SO I checked the soil and the PH is actually fine. The plant seems to be ok on the most of the upper leaves, and she continues to grow, but still the problem of leaves shriveling up.... trying to upload photos but not working....
