Burned,just a thought here but how is the drainage in that soil?Did you amend those holes before planting?the second pic the soil appears tight like maybe high clay content to me.Sometimes the water will sit in a hole like that preventing proper drainage and leaving your roots perpetually wet.Since you already have them in the holes maybe make a water drill and drill a few holes to bust through the layers of tight soil to help with drainage.A water drill is simple to make and hooks up to a hose with a 3/4'' hose fitting,you can even make one out of cheap pvc.Ill see if i can find mine and snap a pic for you,when i was able to do outdoor in my area i would get plants that looked like that and the water drill would bust right through the caliche(3'thick in spots!) into the sand and voila great drainage.

I'm guessing u nailed it man... The soil is nice n dark but all real, real fine like silt. (finally did the jar, soil, water, shake like hell, let set thing) So they r slow to drain. Wasn't even thinking when I threw em in!!! I will b making a " drill" today but...

That looks like a pretty heavy clay soil, which looks as though it's a bit low on total organic matter. In my experience trying to grow cannabis on my own heavy clay soil, you can try providing a lot more N but if the roots can't penetrate, the plant will remain fairly small.

I would do what I can to loosen the soil up around her, add as much Ca (gypsum is what the old timers around here use to break up that heavy clay shit) as you can and do some good top-dressings of animal poo. And pee on 'em like Ken says, but IME that's just not enough unless you pee a LOT.

I actually don't think you hijacked, I think you simply added to. :)

Seas post is spot on burned,try the water drill for those plants now and find a few spots for next years grow and start amending them now with any organic matter you have basically building compost in the holes and next year they will be good to go!Sea i use gypsum like water here(does that mean im an oldtimer?),parts of my property you can hit with a pick and it will just spark,lol,but let it rain and it will turn so slick you cant even walk on it.Im told soil like this is very rich in nutrients but without ALOT of amending with organic matter those nutrients remain unavailable to the plants,essentially locked out.

Ken's totally reminds me of a cultivar or variety of Japanese maple that happens to be my favorite. Its leaves look an almost sickly green, yet its bark is a lovely burgundy red, and the plant is perfectly healthy.

@caregiverken -- have you incorporated anything like sea minerals into your mixes, teas, feeds, what-have-you? If not, I think you might want to try it. A little salty dab'll do ya of the Sea-90. I got mine 2 or 3 years ago and it's still a mostly full bag. It's tasty! The birds eat it and my plants love it. Inexpensive, yet money very well spent.

Sea-90. Sea what happens!

That Grape invader gets a lot of branches!
I suggest pruning of some of those little secondary branches off on the insides
maybe just a few per day
The plant will grow faster and bigger if it doesn't have all those. :)
