Drying seedling leaves

[Haze35]

Hello everyone!

My seedling's leaves are drying and I don't know why.

It is a bag seed,unknown strain.Previously last year I grew a bag seed which happened to be a female.But I remember that when that plant was at this age,that didn't have anykind of leaf drying problems.

It is at day 25 from seed planting.

Why is my plant's leaves are drying and what can I do to prevent it?

Currently and previously I didn't give any kind of nutrients for it,just plain tap water.

Thank you!

What is the soil? How much are you watering? That is also a small pot, are planning on up potting?

I use general potting/flower soil. I spray water on the soil but just around the stem in a circle until I see it wet enough.After that when I feel that the soil is dry enough I give it water but usually I water around every second day.I think it's a medium sized pot.The height of the pot is 19.5cm and the width measured at the top is around 21.5cm(I dont know how many L this pot is.)I don't plan to change pot,because the previous bag seed grow I grew it in a much smaller pot.This is it's final pot.

Give it some nutes mate

I would guess you have some root issues. That pot is too small to only fill half way. I think you should at least fill the pot up. You can just bury that long stretchy stem and it will get roots as well. The plant is stretching up so tall because it needs more light.
I also strongly recommend you read How to Water a Potted Plant as well.

Also you need to be watering it, not spraying around the top . That's great for the first week, but that plant needs water at that size.

Thank you for the answers!When i mentioned that i sprayed water,I mean i sprayed it heavily to let the water drain down inside the soil.And I think I should slowly start adding nutrients.The next growing node has a slightly light green/yellowish tint,which indicates nitrogen deficiency if I'm right.This is my second plant ever in my life.I want to grow small plants because I have small space to work with and I cant have a bigger space currently.

Ideally, even if you have only small space to work, the soil/roots is not the part of the equation that should be skimped on. If you want to get good flowers, the plants roots need to be strong. You can control the size of the plant by training it, there are quite a few different ways of doing that, so you have plenty of choices. Some of the more common ones you might see include : LST (low stress training), Topping, Tucking, Quadlining. I know there are others too, you can probably find good examples of all those and more in the journals section of the forum.
