Problem with a plant and the story of the stoned grasshopper (pics)

About a month and a half ago I started my own grow op in my backyard. I have 9 different strains (larry og, blackwater og, blue dream haze, xxx, headband, LA confidential, alien og, and legends ultimate) and most of the plants are doing very well. The only problem I'm having is with one of my plants. When I dug up the clay/dirt to mix it with my soil treatment I believe I left a little pyrimid shaped clump of hard dirt unturned and my plant is sitting on that. Now I don't know if it's holding water or draining water to quickly, I really need some professional help.

These are some of the plants that are growing very well. the two big ones I got previous to the other 3 (2 shown below)





See, they all look healthy and good, growing nicely, good height. Except this little problem child right here.



You see how it looks all sad when compared to the others? I want it to be happy like the rest of them but I don't know what to do!


Part 2: story of the stoned grasshopper.

While tending to my plants yesterday I noticed a couple of holes that weren't there previously, I checked my plants and found nothing, no Caterpillar (already got rid of those x.x), it wasn't because of nutrient burn or anything like that. So I let it slide. I went back to playing starcraft two (currently playing GTA vice city) and watching professionals game on twitch tv. After a while I do the usual, break down some light crisp fluffy buds that have a masked skunk smell which is overridden by sweet and piney overtones. (connoisseur og) place that in my zig zag with some american spirit tobacco and roll up a great spliff. After quelling my gaming addiction with a quick game of nexus wars I pop on up to go outside. I walk out my door, close it, take two steps foward and this giant bug flies at me which looks like an over-sized dragonfly, I swat it from my face and walk out to my driveway to smoke the spliff. A couple coughs, some great smoke rings, and I'm gettin high. I finish the spliff and I'm ready to head back inside. I walk up to my front steps about 10 feet away from my front door and I see this Grasshopper. He's hanging out on the bottom of the door, just waiting to get inside. I sit there for about 10 minutes and it doesn't move, I pick up a watering can and try to get it to leave but it still sits there, after hanging back for another 10 minutes not being able to get into my house, I spray it with some water from the hose, I mean streamline at it's face, it doesn't lose any grip, just sits there while a stream of water bigger than itself pelts it. I finally give up and turn the hose off... Now the bug begins to try to climb the front door, it takes two steps up and slides back down, two steps up and falls off, turns around and keeps trying to climb the door. I watch this bug for 30 more minutes, just trying its hardest to climb up this door, going no where. I think to myself, you know I would just kill it and go inside, but he's having such a good time, I mean this grasshopper is stoned as fuck! Finally realizing that this is what was messing with my plants I sit back, relax and laugh my ass off while this grasshopper tries to hop away, he doesn't use his wings, he just hops, and hops, trying to get off my front porch. He hops, sits there and recuperates for a minute, then hops again. Finally after an hour and twenty minutes he makes it to the side of my porch, and I can finally walk inside. I look at the time and it's 1:30 am. Now honestly, how stoned does a grasshopper have to be to stay up till 1:30 am? Haha, I thought i'd share this with you guys since it was a pretty amusing time, not just the grasshopper, but someone outside stoned at 1 am watching a stoned grasshopper try to climb a wet door for an hour is pretty funny to think about...

Anyway, I hope you liked the story, and I hope you can help me with that little plant

Woah dude you must be smoking some good shit lol... Are all of your plants planted into the same type of medium? Did you buy soil or plant them in existing soil? your problem plant appears to be quite a bit younger than the rest, were they all planted at the same time? Are you using nutes?

So, They are all in the same type of soil. I went to home depot and asked for the natural or the soil without nutes but I got an off brand of miracle grow that does have nutes in it. The 3 smaller ones were all bought at the same time and cloned around the same time. I am not using any extra nutes either. I mixed in the soil with the clay/dirt but i think i left a little mound of hardened dirt where that plant is. I think the water runs off really quickly but idk if that's the reason or if the water is getting stuck at the bottom where it's harder and is drowning the plant.

If all 3 are in same soil, etc. and the plant isn't too wet it is possible there was some transplant shock or root damage. I had a clone that acted funny and it finally made, but it was a runt plant for some reason. I use the off brand miracle grow from Lowes and it grows fine, I think its called Sta Green potting soil. Be careful if you give any nutes and don;t overdo it. I usually go for about 1/4 - 1/2 strength on the nutes.

Not sure man.. could be like rollin said shock perhaps, could be a weak cutting... if you only loose one out of the batch that's a pretty high success rate...
