The guy above has already given you the answer
Soil looks very poor, plant looks like its drowning, even if you allow it to dry out you can still deluge those delicate roots when you do water. Better to spray lightly at that stage as its almost impossible to overwater using a spray bottle. You need to keep the soil just moist at that stage until it gets some roots down.
I'd start again becuase that plant is mighty stressed and it will take a lot to recover.
Hope this helps, good luck.

The pete is a seed starter and has been in that mix for almost one and a half months. So you think it used up all the nutes in the soil? I have been useing recipe for success starter kit. But not been putting any on this plant. I did not want to over do this plant. should I put a bit of this on the plant?

Since I am atheist I try to let everyone know that the pope was a formar hitler youth. Its Ratzenberger. I put some recipe for success on it, if it dies I know that was not it. I would rather experiment on it than pull it. It should have a root system. it never did grow big even though it was planted the same time as another one that is three times as high.

i think the roots are having trouble in the course soil and the amount your watering according to the photo has your plant in nute lockout..the pope thats priceless

JB,
Carefully tip it upside down and let it slide out into your hand. Examine the roots, if they are brown in colour and not white then the roots are dying. Personally I would repot it to a slightly bigger pot with a some fresh soil for the roots to grow into, thats if they are not too far gone. If the soil is warm and wet a round the roots you need to get them out of there ASAP. Always good to experiment Good luck, let us know if it pulls through.

I am about ready to just give up. I thought it might be ph to alkaline, I washed it with water with lemon juice to make the water 6.5 and today the plant is wilting. I dont know if I shocked it or what. The thing that is starting to piss me off is I threw a couple of tomato plants in an out door tub and did absolutely nothing and had more tomatoes than I could eat. This is a dam weed and I cant seem to get one answer that someone else does not say the opposite of. and the plants go back and forth very finicky. I was set to join the legalize crowed and support, but if I can not grow the crap what use is it? Is there a step by step basic to how to grow this stuff? I tried to watch a few YouTube videos and it is more about someone showing off their grow room than teaching how to grow from the beginning, there is more attention paid to the rap music in the background than information. If anyone has a link to some real informative site please post it. ThanksJB,

I can not do "way to much that people are telling me" and "not listen" at the same time. they in incompatable. I take you last idea to heart though, over watering. Some where between throwing the seeds in a ditcha nd walking away and hoving over them from germination to harvest is a correct process. It is hard when one person says "its a weed dont do anything" then next post says " PH is crytical get a 500$ ph meter and test often" The next says " I have never bought a dam ph meter in 8 years for growning" Its no wonder it is a hit and miss Hobby. You can not get two people to agree on any one thing.your doing way too much people tell you your over watering you dont listen you add your special ph'd water grow it like you grew the tomatoes your making it harder than it needs to be , if your not gong to listen to anyons advice than why even post?
