what is killing this plant, with pics

I topped a plant about 2 weeks ago, and over the past few days it has been slowly dying. I have not changed ph, or nutes, that i know of, she has been on 18/6 her whole life. any suggestions. I also included some shots of another 2 plants that are starting to look unhappy

I"d say too wet..soil looks pretty damp, leaves have water drops on em, looks like a bottle or something in one pic with condensation all over it. The humidity gets too high these plants will grow fungi, leaves will wilt, get brown and die.
 
the leaves are wet because I sprayed them with water, they are getting brown spots and brittle feeling. i was hoping spraying them with water would help keep them from drying out. is this a bad idea?

you need to check everything to find your cause

TEMP???
RH???
PH of water??
ph of runoff ??
ppm?? or what strength nutes??

how old are your plants???

this could be nute lockout.

double check everything!!!!

TEMP???
65-80 F
RH???
whats this?
PH of water??
6.3-6.4
ph of runoff ??
whats this
ppm?? or what strength nutes??
i use hesi nutes and follow the little sheet they included, i dont have a ppm meter so i dont know exactly

how old are your plants???
about 3-4 old

RH = Relative Humidity
Ph of the runoff = check the Ph of the water that comes out of the bottom of your pots

Give the plant just water for a week and see if it picks up.

Stop spraying the leaves. Your basically drowning them in a way. They need air circulation. Spraying that much water on the leaves are good for rooting clones, not to grow it. Keep humidity between 40 to 60%. Let half to an inch of soil on top to dry out between waterings and just let the plant do it on its own. Don't forget nutes after they recover heh. Have a good one Good luck...:joint:one! and enjoy

I agree that you should let it dry out a bit.

In all honesty the first 2 pics are goners man!

The second 2, try to replant in larger containers with a good soil mixture. Local nurseries can point you in the right direction.
Then leave them alone with PLENTY of light, water only when why feel completely dry 1 inch below the soil level.
I grow in 5 gallon buckets and water with 1/2 a gallon every 3-4 days as a comparison, so just estimate what you might need.
Watch them closely during the hottest part of the day, the leaves will slightly droop when they are looking for a little H20 :)

Don't even attempt to use nutrients until they start looking better.

That's good advice right there. They look exactly like my clones after the week in the dome.
