i started a jack herer seed in my phototron planted in miracle grow african vilot mix and moved it outside when it was two weeks old, it took to the outdoors and grew great. last week it was nice and green, went to check today and it looked awful at 4 weeks old, all bottom third was yellow and the top was droopy and curled up, i havent given it anyting except for the light dusting of tomato ferts 9 12 12 a couple of weeks ago, it did rain yesterday quite heavly, wonder if it washed the ferts down? wonder if i should a gal of water and hit the plant to flush the soil.
thing is , i have a cheese and white rhino in 12 ft radius from the jack and they are doing great no problems. and i did the same things to them. i am is a glade between woods and blackberry patch and get about 6 - 8 hrs of direct sun. i dont water as soil has not dryed out, i am really trying to let it grow naturally with little or no help, if possible.
i tryed to post pics but am having problems so no pics yet.

EWC = earthworm castings, I'd also top dress with them.

1c of EWC per 5gal, bubble the water with an airstone then feed

maybe check ph of soil should be 6.5 . may have your house or just the entire area
could have been farm land . a farmer could have been growing tomatoes for instance . this would be good ph as mmj and tomatoes need the same ph . if the farmer was growing walnuts for instance it would be to acidic . also take into consideration each different strain will have a different tollerance to the amount fert, resulting in one or several needing a boost of nutrients , and not only things like grow (nitrogen) or bloom (patasium) it could need a light shot of calmag. last sometimes overwatering can dround your plant with not enough drainage resulting in to much ferterliser. i dont know what your situation . but if i was having this problem i would spray for bugs,:dance013::thank you: mites, whiteflys , cause a infected plant from bugs can be attack by disease because its amune sytem is down and cant fight off with natrual deffences. second i would let siol drain and dry out , then lightly water with calmag to adjust the potassium, calcium, magnesium deficientcy .

check spot for lots of sun and airflow bugs do not like either outdoors and it sounds like bugs witch results in disease .
