Emergency help needed! Auto-flower seedling collapsing after underwatering/overwatering cycle
Hi everyone, I need some urgent advice for my auto-flower seedling. I bought it already sprouted about 2-3 weeks ago and I’ve been struggling with the irrigation.
The Situation:
• Initial Problem: About 2-3 weeks ago, the plant suffered from severe underwatering. It completely slumped to the ground and folded over itself.
• First Recovery: I managed to get it standing again, but the leaves were pointing downwards and curling.
• Recent Actions: In the last 24-48 hours, I tried to break the dry surface crust of the soil with a toothpick and gave it some light misting (4-5 sprays).
• Current State: I gave it a "rest" period in total darkness/shade yesterday to reduce stress. However, this morning it looks even worse. The leaves have lost turgor and are starting to yellow.
Setup & Details:
• Medium: Soil (appears saturated in some areas, very dry in others).
• Strain: Auto-flower (bought pre-sprouted).
• Symptoms: Drooping leaves, yellowing, loss of vigor, potential root damage from the dry/wet cycle.
