Hi, If someone could take a look at my plants and let me know what I can do to save my plant! I dont know what to do!!!!
Please help! Seedling sick - Need advice!
to 
gNp!STOP WATERING IT. You are drowning it by over-watering it...a lot.
Since we were given no information to go on, that's all I can see that's wrong. Those plants could probably go a month without another drop. It may be too late. You could try a transplant into some new, drier soil.

Hi! THanks for the response, I always wait for the sil to dry and then water it. Its under a 300W led light getting 16 hours of light a day. Could there be anything else? I really dont over water it all so dont think its that. I water everyother day unless the soil is dry. Its in a organic potting soil. Is the little pot to small for this at thispoint? or is the organic soil lacking nutrients?
Every other day IS over-watering, IMO.
Plants that size in pots that size could easily go two weeks between waterings. How do you decide when the soil is dry? If you poke your finger into the soil, that tells you nothing. The water roots are at the very bottom of the pot and I'll bet they are waterlogged. When that happens they cannot absorb water or nutrients. They eventually rot because having been starved of oxygen.
It could be something else, but I very much doubt it. You'd need to provide a lot more information as described in the "How to ask for grow support" topic.
BTW, you want the soil to appear dry. Cannabis hates wet feet.

Hi goodNproper.
Welcome to the 420 Magazine community of members.
Sorry your first couple interactions with the community is to solve a problem, but I have to agree with MPITA that those plants are way overwatered. For a plant that small, in containers that size I would only be watering maybe once a week. The suggestion to get them into drier soil is also a good one and just might save your plants.
Be well and happy growing!

I grabbed some pictures of four plants growing in a very small containers. They were watered well when the seeds were planted. They did not get any more water for almost three weeks and could have gone the full three weeks but I was not around to make sure. The pots have Promix HP in them which is a fairly porous blend that does not hold a lot of water.
