It's not dead .....but what soil are you using? Info info info

New growth looks like you've added food to try and correct the lower leaf issue .....yellow tips is why I mention that .
 
Wow your good I used just a,standard bag of outdoor potting soil I originally had 6 plants in it once I relized I used outdoor soil potting soil I sited to pro mix and perlite I thought it was either a nuiet ring deficiency or I did notice a,few fungus gnats so was lost

I'd back off giving her as much N and focus on good watering habits....you've switched soils ...so you may have corrected the problem mostly ....new growth looks better except for what looks like N tox ....just my opinion ......I'd give her just water the next few times .....and water thoroughly like mentioned above ....GL
 
And thank you I haven't switched soil in this plant I was,worried I'd kill it and wanted at least one plant to make it others are I think are doing ok but this one has not grown in about a week or so

I do 2 cups R-o water every 2 days is that a decent amt ? She's about 35 days from sprout it's a auto ww
If it were me I'd water the whole pot slowly until you get a bit of drip/runoff out the bottom ....wait until the soil dries out and repeat ....that plant is plenty big enough to water the whole pot .....IMO it will probably take off just by doing this......lift your pot to feel how light it is before you fully water it .....after you fully water it like I explained above ...lift it again .....notice the difference in weight .....once your pot feels light again it's time to water again.


Keep track of the time it takes to dry out and it will become second nature on when to water ....GL

Few methods to gauge water in pot. Weight of pot, lite pot needs water.

Finger in soil up to first knuckle, no moisture felt, soil dry, then water.

Bottom leaves limp, starting to droop, water needed.

Later you can tell from rH readings in the room it's water time.

Good luck.
 
Thx belive it or not the water was the only issue I couldn't find a detailed video about I guess it's something I'll learn with time 30+ days in and loving it with a reference tool like this site

the problem I see is not watering the whole pot it looks like you just water the stem?. Water the whole thing to the edges and then wait till it dries out.
