(emergancy Need Advice Asap)

I'm new to growing everthing was doing Fine! it was growing quick healthy and strong, and now.. it's limp the leaf's are litterly hanging there's not happiness to them, my baby is about 2 -3 week's old.. i dont really know how to water it, i need to get a moisture meter, but i watterd it about 4-5 shot glasses aday, it's real young plant in a big pot, i'm giving it Nute's, but i think after being on this site it might be to young for nutes, but either way sombody please tell me, how much should i watter it? does it need nutrients? and why is it limp and hangy, please I need help my baby's dieing!!! AHH

4-5 shot glasses a day?its not an alchoholic its a herb...u give it a good at least two liter rvery 3 days...and dont over nute thats called "nuke"n ure plant...give it a good two liters worth of boiled then cooled water from the cold pipe...hot water pipe has a lot of metals in it..

4-5 shot glasses a day? That's really a funny way of measuring...tall shot glasses or standard shot glasses?

Let me ask you a question: did you water your plant every day because the soil felt dry and it NEEDED to be watered, or were you just watering every day....because? Because I watered about once a week, but I knew people who watered more often because their soil would try out faster (hotter temps, smaller pots, whatever the factors are)

And the nutes, what did you use? What strength did you make it? You know that when you first start giving your plants nutes you should start at like 1/4 the recommended strength.

LMAO lol shit what you said was funny laughed my fuckin ass off

Oh shit that's not good, I give it SHIT LOADS of mirical grow all purpose, like more then i should, i just watterd it once a day, cause i thought it would grow faster and be better, i think i've been over watering it tho and regular size shot glasses

Yeah, overwatering is just as bad for your plant as underwatering. And yeah, nutes you should start low and work your way up

is that why my plant is as limp as my dick is currently?

After you water your plants, they SHOULD perk up, the leaves noticeably lift towards the light. If after watering your plants WILT, then yes, you're overwatering. Overwatering can kill your plant.

that doesnt help cause i stoped waterin my plant for 3 day's and it wilt, i watterd it today and it's wilt it's wilt 24 -7 i stoped giving it nutrients it wilt, i put it in the sun for a day it wilt, and now i bring it in my house and now theres this orange shit on the sides of the leaves, remember this plant has only just sprouted and has like 6 leafs.

ok here you probably over nute it for one, wot are your temps in there? wilting can be caused by temps, ove water or underwater ect.. Use your homemade meter.. stick ur finger about an inch in the soil if it is dry water it if still pretty damp then its not ready for water.

first thing stop feeding

second make sure your temps are below 85 F

third if soil is dry flush your plant rule of thumb 3 gallons of water for every gallon of soil in ur case do 2 so if your pot is 2 gallons poor 4 gallons of water in it. dont do it all at once do one gallon at a time wait a few let it drain through then the next one and so forth.

also if you are using cfl's a couple inches above the plant if you have hids 16-18" above the plant. if u have a pic post it that always helps with diagnosing GL!

orange stuff on the leaves?? does it look like it may have been burnt?

My husband totally killed a seedling a little older than yours with MG liquid last year - it went limp and then the leaves started falling off. I flushed it out but it was too late. He is now banned from taking care of the plants. I fear you've just done the same thing.
