plants shriveling up and dying

[ukgrower2110]

ive lost 2 plants so far, they get all dry and weak, the stems thin and they just collapse and die, why is this happening?

What kind of light, watering system, nutrients, how old are they? We need more info.

From your description 2x 20 watt CFL, and stems breaking then they fall over and die. Looks like stretching is the problem. How far away are your lights?

they dont stretch, i put the light ultra close, after mayb 2 days the stems get weak, then they fall over, then dry up and then die, i have no idea whats goin on here?

What soil are you using? and how often are you watering?

 

[ukgrower2110]

im using some generic compost and i was watering once or twice a day, dont you have to water them lots on the first days?

After it breaks the surface you should water once a day and don't water again until the top layer of the soil has dried up. Make sure theres also a way for the water to drain out.
Pictures would be helpful tho.
