SOIL Yellow cotyledons

[Airies11]

Hello community,
Germinated a single seed a week ago, planted my seed a day or 2 later. Last night it broke soil, however the cotyledons are yellow - wat could this mean? I used a basic potting mix from Bunnings, and been keeping it wet/moist

What do you think the problem is?

[crucialbunny]

Typically it's an indication that the soil is hot with nutrients that are throwing the PH off.

I'd say you're on the money CB.

Hardware store potting mix is not a good choice of grow medium for cannabis

In my inexperienced opinion, I thought it could’ve been either over watering, or what crucialbunny said, ‘hot soil’, from the 6months worth of nutrients in the premixed potting soil I bought from the store? I guess I’ll just keep an eye on it and hope the potting mix doesn’t burn it. Would flushing it even help ? If it’s premixed store bought potting mix?

[Bluey]

I would plant it in some decent soil and get rid of the potting mix. I doubt it can be properly flushed as it will likely have slow release nitrogen additives in it which will stuff the plant when it goes into flower.

I use coco and mix my own nutes.

Prior to that I used a home made soil from compost and whatnot. If you can find some decent soil try that.

You want a soil pH of about 6.5

Thank u very much for the advice, I appreciate ur time and effort in responding! I’ll get onto that asap

I'm usually optimistic, but I believe you're going to lose this one. The first set of leaves are already burnt. The only thing I could think of is to transplant the thing into a peat plug. That would be get it out of the soil. But it is so young I doubt that would help.

🪦☠️ ‘keep plants up high’ ~ repotted again last night in a plain soil and worm casting mix with a little coir. Woke up and she looked green and healthy. 2 hours later…DEAD! The dog tore her apart and literally chopped the roots off the seedling 🌱 - my heart breaks and I have no more seeds. Lesson learned 😔 Thank u kindly to those that took the time to read my post and reply with good advice 👍
