seedling with brown tips and wilting

View attachment 2816833Is this dead?

no, has some green, whats your water cycle like

once a day with the spray bottle. iots been alive 3 weeks. no nutrients added just dirt and water

it looks a bit dry on surface, dont want to over water, do you get run off from drain holes,

I water it thoroughly every other day until i get runoff. Usually when I get back home from work it's completely dry again. What does that brown on the leaves mean?

What kind of soil do you have it in?...it looks "hot" and it looks like nute burn bad...if the soil has nutes in it you're burning it up by watering so much...back off the water to every other day or even every 3rd day

hoffmans seed starter mix

In my opinion it is the soil. Transplant to a good potting soil mix with no nutes, if it is not too late already. Sorry about your plant.

it has no nutrients in it....

some other plants in the same mix:

pls help i dont want my plants to die

probably overwatered, no need to water that much when the plant is that small, even if there is a just a little moisture in the soil its probably fine. Just because the top bit of the soil is dry dosent mean that the bottom of the soil is dry. id say once or twice a week is all you would need

one in original post is dead

why are they so short btw aside frm me keeping the light so closely?

Damn what r u doing to them? make sure they don't get too hot, it looks more like nute burn. You say no nutes in soil, hows ur water PH? hows the drainage of the pot and soil, any perlite mixed? doesn't look liek it. make sure ur top soil for about an inch deep is dry before u water, but u said they dry every other day which is kinda quick, WHATS THE TEMP LIKE???

its comfortably warm. can't be more than 70 degree even right aginst the lights. soil gets thoruoughly dry even halfway through the pot almost hourly. no perlite is mixed. this soil mix im using (hoffmans seed starter) is 50% peat moss. maybe thats whats fucking me up. haven't checked ph of water but i'm just using tap water, i'll check tomorrow. one of the plants(was growing slowest) is completely shriveled and dead now. other two are green and alive, but showing sighns of going that same way. i transferred two of the plants a week and did disturb the root systems so tthat could have had this effect on them. it's gonna suck if these fuckin things die


if anyone could recommend straight up what brands of soil/ anything i should be using at this stage that would be very helpful. id go buy some Foxfarm soil but i read it has alot of nutrients in it so idk.

After reading this thread...I'm calling the police..."Plant abuse"

Change your selection of soil and stop over watering. Use the lift method to determine when to water.

what soil should i use? asked 3x

Did you get it wet with the spray bottle? Are you pouring water into the soil or spraying water at the soil?

I just spray the surface/plant with a mist bottle. It dries quick as fuck though. Even when i pour water into it, with considerable runoff coming from the bottom, it's bone dry when i get back from work.

edit: I have 3 cfl bulbs hanging really close to the plants, maybe half an inch for the entire grow. thats what proboably fucke dme yp
