First of all that soil looks horrible and overwatered., U have to provide more info like everything u have been doing since the beginning., Without any info i know for sure your ph its out of wack. Second i bet ur watering/feeding schedule is terrible., Soil we already know it's terrible.,. Info we need for an accurate diagnosis is: type of soil, ph, water/feeding schedule,rt/rh, lights etc. Get back with that and u will get better help. GL

Can damping off affect a plant of that size? that plant looks like a bigger version of the seedling I over watered and cause it to dampoff. https://www.planetnatural.com/pest-problem-solver/plant-disease/damping-off/

i don't know if damping off can affect plants that size, i've only ever heard of it with seedling and such. but i do know that the OP's plant looks like it has been sitting in water for a long time and the roots are drowning.

hopefully it can dry out and recover. might be able to salvage a clone from it, but it isn't looking very good as it is.

Looks drowned. Soil is bad. Ill be honest i would trash that plant and get proper equipmwnt, read somemore then start over.

Don't let th plant sit in runoff watet like that

It's definitely not the same as growing outdoors. I'm pretty sure I've watered way too much. Maybe even added to much nutrients or the wrong kind. I have an 8 bulb T8 light but only have 2 out of 8 lights on,16" away. Regular potting soil aswell. Which is probably not good either. I'm gonna let this one ride out till it falls or springs back. Guess I gotta be careful next time . Thanks guys

If you want to use potting soil try foxfarm ocean forest.

but before you do....google "fox farm, growing issues, rollitup".
dont panic, grow organic

Ah the run-off catch pan....

If you always feed and let the run-off return to the pot, then you'll eventually hit lockout, if you keep it up it will lead to an overwatered plant.

Imo, At this point just start over and remove the pans or run drain tubes to the pans.
The nodes on that thing makes me think your using weak lights or too much phosphorus

I'm sure it's a bunch of reasons. Soil, nutrients, lack of knowledge. I would be lying if I said I wasn't expecting to screw something up. Trial and error. I'm sure I'll become more effective at this with all the issues all of you have pointed out. These only allow me to expand my knowledge and learn to become a better grower. I'm only doing it for personal use. But like every grower I want strong stuff. Determining where to purchase seeds will be another issue.

damn son..

Well we all start somewhere, its the willingness to learn that moves you along.

Head over to the organic section and read up on some soil mixes and how to build/cook them then be on your way...

Its not hard really, the only thing that makes you wanna kill yourself is trimming and mold lol, growing is easy its usually bottles and myths that make it hard.

She gone. Best to ask for advice before your plant ever gets to the almost dead stage. Better luck on the next one!

Thanks to all that help me get on the right road. I really appreciate it. So far I've changed the soil and only use super thrive once a month. Still looking for more input and suggestions if you notice anything wrong. This is my second grow and I've learned how to top. In the process of learning main-lining now. I'm gonna flower them on the fifteenth of this month. Now I'm still new so let's hear them flowering tricks. Once again I really appreciate your guy's feedback.

Only thing I've got, try to have an even canopy.

Still figuring that out. Any suggestions will be considered. I'm basically just trying to succeed. Next grow will be my attempt at main-lining.

imho soil looks compacted lack of oxygen maybe

Have you read up on LST?

whats the ph of the soil/runnoff imho its way overwatered
