Hey wassup guys

This white widow was a first time grow just experimenting ,can anyone tell me what would be the cause of the plant going from seemingly healthy a few days ago to this in such a short time. I’ve Read a few things on root rot or nitrogen toxicity but would like to be sure for next time around.All of the leaves wilted and browned almost over night , Also should I just chalk this plant as a loss or is it worth trying to keep Alive?

Ugh, I'm sorry you got that on your first attempt. It's heart breaking, I know.

Can you tell us more? Grow media, nutrients, feed/water schedule, ppm/ec, pH, RH, temps, lights? Did you spray anything?

I would say major nute burn. Over feeding can make a beautiful plant crispies in less than an hour. That or you cooked it.

Wow that looks bad and almost impossible to happen within a few days unless like @SidV said that you really gave way to much nutes or the temps went trough the roof although i don't see any burnt tips. So in this case we need more info about you're growing conditions.

Also looks like someone cut off all the fan leaves.

Thank you definitely appreciate you guys insight .It started from the bottom I noticed maybe 2 -3 leaves wilting and some brown spots .as the day went on she got much worse . I’ve been growing in fox soil and have been on 12/12 lighting about 8-10 inches from plant and watering every 2-3 days or when soil feels bone dry. I’m almost positive I put way too much nutes ( beginners mistake). but I just would like to be sure for the future .

Got it! , definitely know exactly where I went wrong. Yeah It was doing great smh .but I have recently tried to introduce fish fertilizer and may have gone overboard .will flushing fix the problem ? Or is this too far gone

I’ve been using fox farm big bloom but recently introduced the tiger bloom fertilizer since in flowering stage and on occasion give bone meal and fish fertilizer. You guys responses reassured my thoughts that I was overzealous with the nutes‍♂ Appreciate it very much! .I have a few babies still in veg I’ll be sure not to make the same mistake

Do you have an PH and Ec meter in order to measure everything?

Does this mean you already gave bloom nutes while being in the veg fase? Also with the plant being this small there should have been enough in the soil already i guess and therfore you started way to early with feeding.

No meter unfortunately, will be purchasing soon since I know how vital this is now.and sorry I wasn’t clear. I just started using the bloom nutes once in flowering. The other says safe to use during all stages,I just believe I may have been heavy handed on the dosage .The plant actually is mature. I believe it just never grew properly because it’s in such a small pot ,could this have also been a reason why it died so quickly ?

A small pot usually just means a smaller plant. Tbh i have no idea how this could have happened so fast seeing the before and after pictures as i have never experienced something like this.

To me to much nutes would have a different effect and never goes this fast. Could be some type of virus maybe?
If you do decide to kill it completely could you post some pics of the roots when taking it out of the pot? Curious what they look like.
