What's wrong with my plant? I know that I over-watered it during the first week. But I'm seeing that the tips of the leaves are turning orange, and the leaves seem to be very mangled, in shape... It's difficult to diagnose a pest problem because I have poor eyesight, and no equipment to take a close up picture, or observe in detail. It likely isn't a nutrient overdose, because I am using Fox Farms pre-treated soil, and have intentionally used no additives. I wonder if the water I am giving the plant is too acidic or base, but I have no ability to test, currently. :\
All in all, there is a lot of information on the internet, and none of it is very definitive. Just looking for some live input from anyone with even minimal experience. It's the first time I've tried this since I was a child, and I am upset that I am doing so poorly in comparison... Because this time, I am genuinely trying. :(
that looks fine they do that. nothing to worry about. just don't overwater, let the soil just get dry before you water. I go by the weight of the pot. When it's wet it's heavy, then a few days later, dried out, nice and light, and time to water again.

I don't know man probably a slight nutrient deficiency that will pass.
OK. Thanks, guys. I had a feeling that this was the issue. The new growth seems to be very healthy, at least, so the new watering schedule seems to be alright, and I have a much better understanding of its intake. I was most worried that maybe there was a pest that I was unable to see.

Orange tips means it needs more nitrogen oxides. Get some natural fertalizer in the soil

Can we get a pic without the stupid lighting jackass

Looks underwhelming what the light schedule & growing substrate look like

This photo more accurately captures the color. Under this light, admittedly, it looks much healthier, but I feel like the problem is only masked, and under closer inspection, still there...
I am giving it 300w full spectrum LED for 20/24 hours. It is grown in soil that I didn't prepare myself, but supposedly contains enough nutrients for 3 months of veg. I am also growing auto-flower, which, from my understanding, requires less nutrient than traditional grows. I am still pretty damn clueless about most of this, though. I am afraid that if I supplement with additional nutrients, it might be overkill. I wasn't able to diagnose the issue myself, other than having a strong feeling (over-watering).
brand? please tell me it's not anything miracle gro
>supplement with additional nutrients
don't do this.

Theres nothing deadly wrong with might be a little hot your doing good op Happy growing

Most likely either magnesium deficiency or accumulation of salts if you're using tap water. If you can't use rain water or distilled, put tap water out for 24 hours then aerate by pouring from one jug to another leave 24 hours then water plant. Discoloration of tips wont go away but shouldn't be present in new growth.

but he has to change the soil .. ? > right?! :P

It is this product.
OK. I might just be paranoid, and my lack of experience gives me little reference. I see a lot of perfect looking plants online. I'm happy as long as it's not dying. :)
>fox farm I've used that before with success, you should be A ok.

take it outside quit messing with mother nature

I am only legally permitted to grow 2 plants. It was that they were stolen when I tried to grow outdoors. :( Although I generally agree. Part of me feels like it is wrong. Part of me wants to slap some sense into me for feeling that way, too.
If it makes any difference, the difference is that it is not sunlight. Otherwise, it is all organic.

Look overfed as fuck m8

need less water water only when the substrate is dry

Only enough nutes for veg??? Some of those nutes especially macros are needed and found in veg. If substrate to wet bogged down use chop sticks to poke holes in dirt to allow airation.what sortve pots you growing in?? You try smart pots/fabric??
My pot is actually a problem, I think. It is PVC, and with no drainage. So... I simply drilled 2 holes at the bottom of the pot. It works, because I have seen drainage from the holes before, BUT... I am not sure if water is pooling at the bottom of the pot. Since the pot isn't designed to drain, I can't tell if the water collects at the center of the pot, where I added the holes. So, I am thinking, it's totally possible that water is pooling at the edge of the pot, for example. Or at least, there might be some VERY wet soil down there.
The chop sticks, I'll try that. I honestly have no idea as to what the roots look like, though, and I am worried that I'll hit one. I'll do some research on this before I try it.
Another issue I have is that I manually air out the tent. I don't have a fan. So every few hours, I use a large board to blow air into the tent for a minute or so. This contributes to the wetness of the soil, I think.
