Young seedling has a problem

She might be damaged to much to recover at this point.I would start another seed if you have any and throw her or just leave her go and see what happens.
 
:doh: uugh! Kush, what soil is she in, and have you checked the pH on it? It could be part of what's FUBAR here,.. this one is indeed all done, but before you start new seeds, the soil needs to be checked,...
 
Hi, the soil is the same that I used on my previous grow with good success. Still waiting for my pH meter to arrive from China (it will be around a month before it gets to me).
I am not going to give up just yet. I am thinking of taking a gamble and transplanting her in new soil. Have nothing to lose.
 
There can be bag to bag differences in quality for sure! I wouldn't bother with the transplant; at this age, she'll sex out soon, veg' time ending, and she'll be a total runt... but if you still want to, make sure it's a new bag, and the temps are lower this time....
Peat is slightly naturally acidic, but by itself, a poor "breather", smothery, so add some perlite (15-20%-?),... can you get Promix? That's a peat based medium, not a true soil BTW, but it's amended with some key things,...look it up!
 
I was wondering whether she's a runt because of the seed not being fresh - it has been a year and a half since I bought it (with probably another year or two spent at the seed bank in fuck knows what kind of conditions).
Also, she grows with crooked, asymmetric leaves and I think that's a sign of some sort of genetic malformation. Maybe I just didn't get a good seed to begin with.
She is better now, has a set of new leaves and it looks like she is about to explode with growth soon. But like @Waira said, the problem is that her vegetative period is almost over. She doesn't have time to grow big and yield good.

Here she is at day 20.

7 is a little high so when you water bring your ph down to 6.5 or close to it then let soil sit for a couple hours than retest it and see what it is.
 
Alright @namvet25, next time I water the plant, I will add some vinegar to lower the pH.
Right now the pot doesn't need watering yet and it will be another week before it's time to water it again. I hope the plant will survive until then.
