Slowly growing auto (1st 2 pics)

The plant definitely looks overwatered. I suspect that’s why the lower leaves are turning yellow — it’s likely struggling to process nutrients properly. If repotting is the only option you have right now, I’d recommend transferring it into a drier medium. You can also add hydrogen peroxide to your watering solution; it helps reintroduce oxygen to the roots and supports recovery. Good luck my growmie

A word of advice don't waste your time with it , start again and hope for a better start. Shit happens , good luck.

Yes, they really need 6-8 hours of direct sunlight as a minimum each day. Day temps of -3 and -9 overnight (according to your diary) is another drawback.............they minimum they would like would be around the 18 degrees mark. Now that it has gone into pre-flower, there is not much that you can do other than to hope for the best.

plant looks hungry, overwatered and starving for light. can you supplement light until the sun starts being more helpful? also only water as needed. start with 4 cups every 3 days for now until she starts to pick up

Even with limited sun it has an obvious nitrogen deficiency, so at the least increase N provided. If you live in an area with acid rain, probably wise to check the pH too, as that could be inhibiting uptake of N. Definitely need better aeration in that soil, but it won't cause anything as severe as what is seen here. In a soil you want 50% drainage amendment, like perlite or similar. Those woodchips do count but they are less than ideal when it is big and chunky. If it's only droopy after a watering, that would be why. Unless you are trying to avoid a wet season or grow when the length of night does not jive, stick to photoperiods. This will give you more leeway with vege time.

Hey Growmie, It looks like it’s been through some stress. The yellowing on the lower leaves and slow growth could be from a mix of things—sounds like the hail and lack of sun haven’t helped either. It could also be a bit of overwatering or poor drainage, since the soil looks pretty wet. If you can, try moving it to a sunnier spot (they love 6–8 hrs of direct sunlight), and make sure the soil drains well—maybe mix in some perlite or coco coir. Also, a light feeding with a balanced nutrient mix might boost it. And if you’re expecting more hail, a little cover or mini greenhouse setup could save it from more damage. Hope it bounces back for you!
