HELP!!!!!! can not figure out whats wrong!!

my plant has been doing this for the past few day and it has just got so worse. the leaves are turning brown and the plant is dropping. the stem feels very flimsy. please help. i tried to clone a little bit of it because i figure it was just gonna die. so thats why that little thing is down there. i keep light on it regularly. this is my first time. and everything was good till now. i water it everyday. please help.

Looks like the same that was happening to me. What soil are you using? Looks like they are suffocating and your lights are too far away.

miracle grow sphagnum peat moss. the light is about two inches from the plant. its a regular light bulb which seemed to work. i moved it for the pictures.

CO2 is wat it needs. put a fan on it.

is your bulb incandescent or flourescent?

alright the fan is on it.

its a standard bulb from a lamp that has a moveable arm. im not sure which that is. sorry.

You have a lot of things going on like; the soil you're using isn't draining well because by you watering everyday the plant wilts. I also see that you have a nitrogen deficiency by looking at the tips of the large water leaves that are yellowed. I would re-do my soil and add perlite so that it will drain better and buy some supersoil. Mix the SUPERSOIL,PERLITE AND SOME BLOOD MEAL and water for your next plant.

you have nute burn and a light bulb is no good at least get a couple 6500k cfl's the daylight 26 watt 4 pack is like $10 at lowes or walmart.what is your water ph? and there over watered are there drain holes in that pot? how often do you water?

my ph is ideal. is there anything i can do to save this plant?

whats nute burn btw.

yes there are drain holes. and about everyday. the drain holes drip to the bottom of the pot and then get sucked back up as the soil dries up.

Bump.

answer the questions! lol

i did lol it went on to the next page

yeah..... i meant for other peeps to answer your questions cuz i can't really tell you wat nute burn is and if you can save the plant. i suggest growing outside if possible

oh i get what you were saying. yeah i wish they would answer.

listen you either need to move these plants outdoor to get sunlight, or invest into some real lighting or even CFL's as someone mentioned earlier. Once you address this issue then you should start reading, and learning what the other problems are, and addressing them.

And you saying your PH is IDEAL, isn't convincing enough to me that its ideal if your growing under a incandescent light bulb, and overwatering your plants.

That's nutrient burn. Are you adding fertilizer to it? You shouldn't be in it's state. And an incandescent bulb will not work, johnny is right, you need 6500k cfl's, a few of them.

He doesn't need to be adding fert for nute burn, he already stated he is using miracle grow, and by the looks of that plant its overwatered, and usually if you overwater miracle grow soil, your going to get Nute burn.

Not to mention probably having the light 2-3 inches from the plant gave it Heat stress if its a normal incandescent light bulb

I would tell you to read the FAQ's but they're not working for some reason. You should do some research.

Not you below0.

Testicle

the water that is put in the plant is ideal on the ph scale. idk how to test the soil or anything. i have a kit and i test it every time i water it. i give it about one bottle of water a day. however today i gave it two because i thought it wasnt enough water. is there any way to get rid of the water? or should i just not water for a while and see if it gets better?
