Plants Seem to be Dying

The plants were growing good I was putting them outside my back porch when the sun was up and then I would bring them inside. I finally was able to afford lights and then I put them in my closet. I put mylar on the walls four days ago and after 2 days my plants look like they were dying. I added some pictures. Please help I'm growing these for my daughter. She has chronic pain this helps her more than when she takes those god-awful drugs the doctors give her. If you need any other kind of pictures let me know and I will upload them.

You’re keeping them too wet. Let it dry fairly well before feeding or watering. Fabric bags are recommended. Also you need light and in the northern hemisphere that natural light is weakening.

When indoors ventilation is second only to adequate lighting.

That’s not enough light to grow a little container of basil. Check the new small LED like Spider Farmer.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I'm going to get and I just have to save a couple of weeks for them hopefully the sun will be okay for the plants.

Hi Linda. Your plants look like they are having 2 problems--the overwatering others have mentioned and the light yellowing at the tops typically happens when a plant isn't getting enough light--or the wrong light. My best guess is your grow lights are hurting the plants more than helping.

Next year try to start your outdoors plants mid may or by the beginning of June. That will give your plants plenty of time to grow giant outdoors with no indoor light needed at all.

Best of luck to you and your daughter

In my experience you shouldn't start a plant in the sun and move it under lights it will die... Other way round is fine I always used to start my tomatoes under the lights come spring move them into the sun and they fine.
