Why is my plant growing like this?

Looks like overwatering to me. I water once every 2-3 days until water comes out the bottom. I determine when to water by the weight of the pots. They get real light when they're thirsty.
The goal is to let everything completely dry out before watering again. This gives the roots oxygen.

overwatering is where my money is at. your plant NEEDS wet/dry cycles. Dont water again till the soil is dry.

I agree, it looks like overwatering to me. Don't water unless you put your finger about halfway into the soil and it's dry. Or get a moisture meter.

jeez, what a helpful fellow you are. I dont think we could figure this out without your great help..........nah, im just fucking with you, im not really mad or anything but why did you bother to post this just to boast and put him down? Do you really feel that insecure about yourself that you have to make yourself feel better by posting stuff like this? I dont want a fight, I'm assuming you were joking, but this guy doesnt necessarily know that. Just wanted to point that out.

Guys, their is a much easier and fool proof way to tell, dont waste your money and dont be sticking your fingers into the soil.All you have to do is take a container the same size as the one you currently have and fill it with your soil(include any additives like pearlite in too) thats dry. Now go to your container with the plant. lift up the dry container, sorta remember how heavy it feels, now pick up the container your trying to determine if you should water. Feel the difference? after a few weeks you'll get the hang of it, and will be able to tell with no problem at all. you probally wont need to use the dry container as a reference after youve done it a few times. youll just *know* right away when you pick the container up if it needs to be watered or not.

Listen to him^^^I just switched to soil for my moms and have had to resist the urge to water when the soil is dry on top. I let all my pots dry out enough till they where very light, to the point where the bottom leaves looked limp. Thats point 1 of too far I think but it was necessary for me to find my comfort zone of watering schedules. I have found you can let an entire plant wilt and give her water and in no time shes stretching for light after being watered. Im not saying this is good by any means but you can get a feel for when you need to pay attention and listen to what your plant wants.
FYI I got it back up, it was nute burn so I changed the soil, and gave it new water, now it's back on up thank you very much
Alright everyone, I read another post, and diagnosed that it was nute burn, the leafs were real crispy so that's how I could tell. I replaced the soil and added some water with superthrive, i'm not even bulshitting the shit works. I've heard a whole bunch of shitty reviews of it, but those idiots probably didn't use it right. So dying plant= superthrive to the rescue

Yes i was joking, i was high, i hope his plant makes it and when it does make it he will have learned alot from making the easiest mistakes like overwatering. CHEESEjeez, what a helpful fellow you are.

I hate to quote my own response from a earlier thread but it was easier than re-writing the whole thing...Re: "Superthrive"-More than a little debate surrounds the use of "Superthrive" and not just in the cannabis growing community. Personally, I think it is snake-oil (Superjive) and simply yet another in a long line of formulations/tonics that have no basis in good botany or agriculture/horticulture. Most of the proponents of this product use anecdotal evidence to back up the claims made by the manufacturer "man my plants really grew fast!" with little or no hard evidence to support it. I will never claim to be an expert on growing any one species of plant but I do have a BS in Horticulture/Agriculture and I once did controlled studies of "Superthrive" on the flowering perennials Dianthus, Hemerocallis and Echinacea (Carnation,Daylily and Coneflower). The study was done under carefully controlled lab.-conditions and took 10 months to complete as I recall. After the endless hours of work and tedious measurements the product contributed exactly nothing to the overall plant(s) vigor, health, disease resistance, flower number or yield. Use it if you like but I am covinced it is a waste of time and money.
