Can someone tell what happen to my plant. its first true leaves are turning yellow to brown I already cut one of the leaves cause it was really dry thanks in advance

The soil is still moist. Its just dried on the surface

Plants often cannibalize lower leaves, maybe do a light feed or tea but really nothing to worry about.

Looks maybe a little dry and definitely seems to need some fertilizer of some sort. Basically looks ok but hungry.

The only cause that im thinking is to much heat because it was getting from 6am to 6pm of direct sunlight.

You're not watering properly.

1. It looks like you're watering the plant right around the stem. That will give you a small, weak plant. When you water, you need to get ALL the soil wet. A plant root will not grow into dry soil, so any dry soil in your pot is a waste of space.
2. Stop watering several times a day. Cannabis likes plenty of oxygen in its soil. Water displaces oxygen. Water so the entire pot of soil is damp, then DON'T WATER AGAIN until the pot starts feeling light in a few days. For a plant this size in a pot that size, it could be a week between waterings.

One of the worst things to do is pay too much attention to your plants, especially as a newbie. Your plant doesn't need you, most of the time.

Thanks for responding , I try to dig the soil to put manure again and i see the soil is still moist. Should I water it tommorow or should i just wait for another couple of days? Thanks.

Also the first leaves is dying already. some other already says that it's normal but I also want to hear it to another person just to make sure tia :)

i have to go to work, but you have a watering issue, plus where’s that soil from?
and quit digging around the plant..
i’ll be back after..

I bought the soil (pic below) and mix it with loam soil , vermicast and cow manure.

 

[mysticepipedon]

What I would do is water it thoroughly and don't water again until it needs it (it will be getting dry).

Yes, the plant will draw nutrients from the lower leaves, but lower leaves also die when you overwater.

Hey raf , I would back off on the cow manure , your mix is already blended with a decent amount of manure , your mix / medium is too dense in my opinion , i would add a lot , like 20 % " perlite" to your mix and re plant it
Perlite can be purchased easily , it adds drainage which looks to me like the " root" of your problem

 

[dire wolf]

Also , do you have " drainage " holes in the bottom of those containers ? You need em once you get a decent draining mix

Can i still use the soil and mix perlite or should i make a new mix without cow manure? Yes they have plenty drainage whole I bought them in a garden shop btw thanks for responding

these two guys know their stuff, follow their help.,

Remake the soil. Add a lot of perlite and break down the solid clumps to fine material. Don’t let the soil dry out like the pics above that’s too dry. Water the whole pot also
