Hi friends! I have zero experience with growing cannabis, zero experience with bonsai, but I LOVE some of the pieces I’ve seen here. I had a seed, and decided to see what would happen if I planted it.

Soaked for 3-4 days around 5/26, planted in a seed-starter pot for about 7 days, and it’s been in a larger pot for just under a week now. Haven’t had any more leaf growth in about a week, but it is alive and growing upwards towards light. I know it was probably too early to repot, but the starter sacks I had them in had metal around the drainage hole and I was worried about rust… stupid cheap Amazon stuff. Anyways immediate after I repotted it, it began drooping and completely lost its ability to stand up. Woke up one morning and it had folded over on itself. I have it supported vertically now to try and help it repair the crease, but it’s not looking good and the leaves are starting to wilt. I went ahead and started soaking a couple more seeds today, I plan to try again but to invest in a better light and proper nutrients. This one was growing in a fox farm soil but I didn’t have any nutrient supplements. Also to add, the reason why I have zip ties here and not wire is because it was all I had on hand the morning that it collapsed. It’s not actually tight on the plant, it’s just giving it a vertical anchor point to lay on.

For any experienced growers here, does this look like a case of overwatering? Underwatering? Is it starving? Did it go into shock after it was repotted? I’m sure it’s something stupidly simple that I just messed up along the way. Any advice for what went wrong and what to do for my next attempt would be seriously appreciated!

Water bottle leaked in my bag, so now my Thor is sitting in a bag with some silica gel packs. I don’t have my hardware kit with me so I can’t open it up to help it dry, so there’s like… 5 packs in there lmao. PSA: just carry your water bottle, it’s not worth the risk!

Edit: to clarify, I WILL be opening it up to let it dry later today when I can get my hands on the right sized screwdriver, I’m just using silica packs for the time being.

Edit: screwdriver acquired, device is opened and gutted, parts currently set out to dry in front of a fan. I only saw moisture around the triggers so thankfully it wasn’t completely soaked. I’ll report back in a couple days after it’s had time to completely air out and be iso’d. Thank you all for the advice, and hopefully this at least serves as a reminder for some to not get too comfortable with how you handle your devices. Accidents can happen and it hurts more when it’s an expensive product with a long wait time for a replacement.
