no pictures, we will need you to fill out the sick plant form in the infirmary.

Lesson #1- Don't over react or over "love" your plants. Quick decsions in a panic will kill your plants. If these are seedlings, the MG soil isn't that great for them.

Are you waiting until the pot drys out to water? You need to water by feel and not by sight.

Do you have drainage holes in the bottom?

What are you feeding it?

idk if it gets completely dried out or not

i water untill it comes out of the drain holes i made at the bottom

then i wait about 3-4 days before i water again

since its in a 5gall bucket i dont think its completely dry by then

but i could be wrong

so do you think im underwatering it ?

I think you're over watering it.

Are you going to fill out a sick plant form or...?

More likely overwatering.if you've got a feeling your soil isn't dry enough before watering, just wait a day or two. It's pretty easy to check if it's time to water, just stick your finger deep in a soil and if you feel moist don't water it yet.

I think you are OVER watering it. You need to allow the medium to dry out in between waterings. This encourages new root growth to find water, oxygen to the root zone, and over all health. I knew just by looking at it, you being new, and you saying i water this often. The root zone and plants needs change throughout their life, a set amount od days in between waterings doesn't work, but lifting up your pot and checking to see if it is dry does.

A simple mistake many new growers make, they love their baby and don't want it to get thirsty. Some think the more water they add the faster they grow. By overwatering, you are choking out the rootzone, and releasing to many of the organic ferts in the mix. Let her dryout before you water from now on, and watch the improvement.

When they're a smaller rootball just transplanted into a larger container, it's sometimes helpful to keep a mindful eye on them and water only after they've wilted slightly.

After a few of these treatments the roots have typically grown and adjusted enough to water more frequently or in more abundance.
