My two plants have yellow tips and now the leaves are withering and very limp looking!! I may have over fertilized them, but would that have caused the withered leaves??

Over watering causes droopy leaves. Try to only water when the soil is dry down at LEAST an inch into the soil. Don't water every day either. They should perk back up if you cut down on the watering. PEACE

You should NOT be fertilizing them when they are that young.

Yeah man, like muyoso said.

Young plants dont use ferts. It just burns them, thats why your tips are dying.

I think this was my problem as well and to an extent continues to be, lack of proper light and fertilizers too early screwed up my grow. Droopy leaves and brown tips FTL It's kindof strange how easy it is to diagnose now that I see other people have done the same.

I very seriously would avoid time-release fertilizers... big waste of money and no control!

That's exactly what happened when I over-fertilized mine.
It died. I think.
but, that was the first plant i ever grew, and i was starting it in my backyard (the soil was very rocky and dry), plus i live in a really shitty climate. it never rains here. :\
now i'm sticking to indoor lmao

Cheers guys. Have ceased the ferts and cut back on watering, plants have perked up.
Thanks to everyone for the advice.
