My plant is dying, help please!

[biscroto]

Hi everyone,
I am a first-time grower and I am having a few problems with my 3 weeks old plant.

I am growing outdoor in soil when my plant started showing yellow leaves on the bottom, so I looked it up and I thought it was nitrogen deficiency, however, when I gave fertilizer to the plant, the yellowing didn't get better.

Also about 2 days ago my entire plant started looking off, with all the leaves drooping.

Can anyone tell me what's going on?
Thanks, everyone

Just ph the runoff water. That’s a good start.

If you added granular fertilizer it might take a little bit for the roots to grow into/start using the fertilizer.

Did you transplant it directly to full sun?

Unless my old eyes fail me the growing medium you are using is too 'heavy'. It is too wet. It has insufficient drainage.

Transplant into another pot with store-bought potting mix while you add vermiculite or lotsa sharp sand into your soil mix then plant back into yr big pot.

Also buy a Soil pH Test Kit and use it. (About $15 at the Hardware store.)

Read gardening books about soil ... and drainage!

What medium is it in, is there a drainage amendment, don’t look like it?
