Can't quite figure out why plants die

[ThatGuyInTheDesert]

What's the fertilizer/soil you speak of?

Ocean Forest soil balanced at 6.5 pH (and tested to that spec, too)
Fox Farm ferts, as recommended (But plants usually die before much fertilizer is applied.)

Where's @logic

Who said anything about troll? I'm just trying to keep my cannabis plants alive. Are you interested in helping on this forum, or doing something else? I'm just looking for a solution, that's all.

Hold it....are you interested in helping, or are you here to insult folks who are looking for assistance?

Insulting? How so? He knows what the problem is..he stated it several times

I came here to help...but when you answer genuine questions with snarky remarks like "I can't see the roots" and "pics of what exactly" it's obvious you're not here for help.

I should have known better at "homemade mylar tent"

Fool me once right...

I am gleaning more info. That's what we researchers do. First, I cannot see the roots, so I cannot comment on the activity of the roots. What was I supposed to say? Second, what pictures are being requested? You seem to want to make things unnecessarily difficult. Why?

Yeah, it's a really decent setup. Everyone loves it. You'd like it, too! I did all the sewing and zipper installation myself. I followed the exact dimensions of a Vivosun 4x2 unit and it's a near-exact match.

Just curious, but why are you being so mean? I'm just looking for an answer, not a fight.

And why do the plants continue to die?

Is @logic expert in the kinds of plant issues I'm encountering at the moment? I hope he/she rings in here soon. Thanks for the tip! I'll keep an eye out.

Well, if it's not you, not the soil, you've been through 50+ seeds....might be the seeds

Makes his own tent, doesn't know what a "perlite" is.

Knows his exact germination rate, but never heard of EC.

Has precise control of pH, but thinks seed quality would result in plants wilting at 7 weeks old.

OMG THIS!!! ROTFLOL! You are the fucking god of memes.

We're not worthy! ×3

Without the deets, I suggest they're dying from a combination of fertilizer toxicity combined with improper watering.

For your next run, DO NOT ADD ANY FERTILIZER. Theres plenty of nutrients in the dirt they're growing in, let them eat and deplete before you feed.

Next, let's talk about watering. You want the baby plant to grow roots, and the way you encourage it is to put water just out of the roots' grasp so that they will extend out to take their drink. So when you water, use something like an eye dropper and slowly introduce your water into the soil at the plant's drip line and never closer to the stem than that. As the water settles downward it will wicker out through the soil making it moist but not wet, except for where you placed your water.

I would just give up if I was you at this point. Maybe switch to tomatoes?

I just wanna say... I'm sofaking glad my weed doesn't grow as sucky as my tomatoes do. Maybe if I spent as much time at the tomato grower forums?

OP, don't give up! If I can point out a positive, you managed to reach the 6 week mark before trouble and some folks can't get a seed to pop.

Start your seeds in clear solo cups of pro mix so you can see root development. I’ve never used it but I’m pretty sure most people say ocean forest is to hot for seeds so you’re probably cooking the lil’ roots.I can’t see your pic for some reason so can’t tell how big the plant is at 7 weeks

^^^^^ Right there I see an issue. A hot batch of fertilized soil for a sprout that is also being given liquid nutes on top of that. Nutes being added on top of nutes on a baby that is just eating it's first solid food of it's new life.
