Discoloring tips and drooping leaves (2 week old)

[lucretius]

The plant is 2 weeks old and i noticed some very faint discolouring at the tips a while ago, but its increased a lot more. and now the leafs are drooping too.


i ve used Miracle Gro Expand 'n Gro.

I feel like i may have over watered to start with, but then i waited unti the soil was just barely moist and then i watered yesterday until a little bit dripped out the bottom.

thanks guys.

Whats your setup like? howlong have u been waiting in between watering? and how much water have u been giving it, about how much ml? temps? is the room nice and ventilated? would help narrow down the problem

watered after the soil felt just barely moist, which meant every 3 days ish. room temp averages about 18c. I assumed it might be fertiliser burn and repotted this thing into some 'cooler' soil since posting this. I think i should have flushed when i first saw signs of this. What do you think anyway im very new to this.

I dont think the problem here is over fert, since ur not giving it any nutes yet, and as far as the slow releasing nutes that came in your soil, i dont think its the cause of this. Your soil looks too wet, some of these soils can hold alot more water than others, thats how urs look to me, i think u need to wait for the soil to dry out a lil more, dont be afraid thinking ur waiting too long to water again, thats just how things work in soil wet/dry cycle, and a small plant like this i wouldnt be giving anymore than 100ml of water for now.
