Hello, I have problem with my 7 weeks old NL auto . It grows outdoor. Temp 15°C at night and 28°C day. Weather's is very nice last days, but my baby is all withered for 6 days now. (see picture) What could be worng, signs were like she was overwatered, so I didn't add any water last 6 days and she still looks like this. Soil is still moist if I uncover 1 inch. Some advices please =)

P.S. Pot is 15 liter and it has lot of holes on botton.

what kind of nuts are you giving? Looks like too much water to me but you said that you have not watered in a while...:no: how much sun is it getting in the day? sometimes plants don't like direct sunlight all day long, the min is 5-6 hours a day. Have you seen any bugs on her?
 
If shes not drinking, and leaves have gone light yellow - i would hazard my best guess is the soil PH is all out of range and you have lockout.

I would check the run off if you can and take it from there.
All the best

-I wasn't giving any nuts. I inteded to give only gauano in flowering stage. Soil is preprapred mix.
-She has sun all day If there's no clouds... from 8am to 8pm.
-No bugs on her... checking every day.
-Is 12hr direct sunlight too much?

EDIT:
-Im thinking this really started when weather improved.... 1 week ago we had alot of rain and storms, this week weather is mostly sunny all day long. Could too much sunlight really be the reason?
-tommorow I will put her in shadow for whole day and check the run off.

Hi again

So now that you put your plant in the shadow (so it's hidden while you check it i guess??) , and checked the run off- what was the PH in and PH out?
 
Please check the soil for how hard/compressed it is as its possible it has set and it is not allowing roots to grow/take in water/nutes well.
If you can, re pot her & make sure soil is canna friendly & check her roots if you can.
When you have re-potted give her a really great soak, best time to do this is when it is still shaded but the sun is about to come out first thing in the morning.

Its a bit confusing the issue your having really, over or under watering seems likely but try what ive said as if your doing what you think you should be and using stuff correctly I cant really think of many reasons for the withering.

I doubt you will need help with the re-potting but here is a guide I made, take a look if you want

Just checked run off water PH - its exactly 7. Now after 6 days drying her, she got lot of water that I got some water out on bottom.
I got advice to put it in shadow check run off and wait how is she handles.
Im really worried. Its my first plant.

EDIT:
I got an advice and this I will do now.

Perhaps it is better by mail as we can go through things step by step.

Basically I would say 99.9% the issue is this. At some point / points, you have overwatered the plant. This has had this effect:
------
The roots were deprived of oxygen and died off. This means that the plant cant transpire and use nutrients water etc.
To remedy this you need to:
flush the pot with lots of water pH to 6.3., enough water so that it runs out the bottom of the pot. I know this sounds mad as the plant was overwatered, and is not taking up water, but the point of this flushing is not to give the roots water but to wash out any stale water around the roots and pull new oxygen into the soil.
it also removes any nutrient residues that have built up.
I would say catch some of this run o ff water and test the PH if it is more than 6.5, keep on pouring in more 6.3 water until it runs out at the right range. this will help solve any ph lockout problems
2. put the plant in the shade for a few days. if she is in the sun, her leaves will try to transpire and there isnt the root base to keep up. putting her in the shade slows her down while new roots grow.
-----

If she don't recovers in next few days... I will transplant her.

After 2 days in shadow she recovered a lot. Today I will give her few hours morning sun.

But leaves are a bit damaged. I will give her tommorow some guano feed if its OK?
Will damaged leaves heal? Should I give her any vitamins or just wait and hope it doesn't spread?
Here are some pics of these leaves.

Hello, I'm back with new problem. I have 3 week old NL auto outside. No nuts, same soil stuff as previous plant. PH is normal. Growtg seems to be rly slow. What are this white spots and one leaf seems to be dying. This week is really hot here. We have 34°C all day for 5 days now. Can the heat be problem? They also have sun all day long.
