I'm new to growing, and i had 4 plants and the first three died but i thought i knew the reasons for that, now my fourth one that was growing fine is getting dark green lives and withering...I couldnt find anything on it.

all my plants have done it so far,
i have tried a number of things.
watering it more,watering it less,taking the light farther away, changing the soil type(which ill see today if it helps),i also turned on a low heater i had going in there(also seeing if it helps)

i have plants on the way and i dont want to make the same mistake.


Ill add pics but i doubt you can see them.i used a camera phone.

Don't water unless the soil is dry on top, and not really moist a 'knuckle' down or so.

Your soil looks really moist in those blurry pics. Looks like you're over watering....

Curling leaves are a sign of too much water.

Also, don't blow the heater on the plants, indirect heat.... Look for a radiant oil hgeater.. they are wonderful...

Hmm hopefully you get some help, but I would try to post a little more detailed info,such as if your using nutes,soil or conditions. I wouldn't be changing the soil and only water like Tea said. Good luck!

I would recommend changing the soil your using AND the pot they are in!!! The reason why you have to water 3489 times to keep the soil moist is because of the type of pot ur using... Its a peat/whatever material that does one thing really good and thats suck up most of ur water therefore the plants dont get it... I recommend using only plasic pots knowing they wont steal the water from ur plants... I had a problem something like this but I didin even get as far as u did beacause I was using pots like urs and my germ'ed seeds dried out and died due to having NO water....but I was watering but being careful not to over water.. but the little water I did give them was sucked up by the peat pot material.. Im 100% sure you will have to water less if u change to a plasic pot

And I just noticed you also have a heater blowing heat right on the plants.. Also helping to evaporate the water off the pots prolly at a much faster rate then normal... All I know is once I changed to Plasic I no longer had to water more often then every other other day..
