Help Very Much Needed

as you can tell by the pictures my girl is not doing well. im a first time grower, and i cannot figure out what is wrong. I will be very sad if she dies, and I want to do whatever it takes to heal her.. Ive got 1800 lumen bulbs which i think will be enough for one plant but of course I could be wrong. I water every two days, and keep her lite for 12 hours a day, and sprinkle her with rainwater every morning...any feedback would help. Planning on going out an buying the right things if any feedback

What the hell is that around it? Its blockin most the plant. Lol. First off read. And how many lights do u have or is it just one 1800 lumen bulb? Either way get more lights and put them on either wx hpours a day and six off or on for 24 hours a day. U don't want them in 12/12 until u want them to flower. U can certainly start now but ull be cutting urself short IMO is it in an enclosure or grow cab of some sort. Adopt a wet dry watering technique. Unless they're tellin u the need water don't give it to them. A good rule of thumb is to let the top inch or two dry out before watering again. Are you using any nutes? Are u giving them tap water? Do u know ir ph levels do u have any mean of ventalation in ur room? It looks like u got more than 1 problem. Answer these and the couple I'm sure I forgot that will be asked within a few post and we can likely help u out a lot more but she looks pretty grave from what I can see. Oh and take another picture without the crutch paper thing around it if possible so we can see enough of the plant to help. Good luck ill scribe and see where its gone tomorrow hope u figet the help u need

Just throw that plant away and start over. It looks like a potent mixture of problems. Ph, over watering,non sufficient lighting. Even if it bounces back with the help of god himself it's going to yeild a crappy amount from the stress it went through. Good luck

Just saw u said u were willing to spend money. Invest in a ph kit for soil and water. Depending on that u can go get a ph adjuster (ph down most likely) or get both while ur there. If u don't have a fan on her get an oscilating one don't want it blowing on the plant moving air around and through. They'll get stronger and it will help them photosynthesize.definetly invest in a hygrometer so u can know ur humidity and temps if u haven't already. And above all if ur budget and temps allow it get a good light setup. Depending on the number u want to grow u can get the right light but an hps or metal halide will greatly improve things. Just bear in mind that in most scenarios the heat of the bulb gets to be too much thus making them have to vent or air cool their hood or a cooltube and sometimes (in my case) an ac is neccesary as well but u take the bad with the good. If it doesn't. Hit up wal mart for some cfls and reflectors. I have seen some very impressive grows with these as well tho I'm not a fan personaly. Best of luck!

Are u into it for money at all or is this just a bagseed germed on a whim? If u have no money into it and some more seed I'd have to go with mystic on this one germ a new batch and toss her. But if u think u can bring her back myself and I'm sure a few others will be happy to guide/help u whenever we can.
 
haha the crutch one was good. but this picture is not where she usually is, ive got two bulbs on her, fan on low above.
and i just changed the soil, but unfortuanlty i had to use miracle grow as to thats all i had.
I have about a gallon of rainwater that i managed to gather during a rain period.
I will take antoher shot the way it is normaly, this was to get better lighting without the brightness

Get more lights, more lights, and more lights!!! One 1800 lumen bulb is practically nothing dude you want light 4-6 23w or 42w CFL's at least!! check your ph, nutes, and water?, are you growing it there or in a box with reflective material around it?? What are your temps and humidity? Let the top 2-3 inches of soil get bone dry before watering her. You want 18-24 hrs of light in veg. and then switch to 12/12 lighting. You will get smaller plants if you just go 12/12 the whole way. This plant looks pretty bad dude i think you should just start over but i'm sure it can still be brought back but its been through a lot of stress..

ok so specifcally what would be a good brand of light?
Thx for all the feedback everyone. ive got her under 25 hour lights, going to ease up on the water, and pick up some new bulbs tomorrow. so what would be the top priority objects to buy with 25 dollars?

Get some 23w or 42w Cfls with 6500k color spectrum any brand( Usually says that stuff right on the package) and get some ph test strips (usually in with all the pool stuff at a local store) test your water you want it at or just around 6.8. Test your water before you put it in and then after in the drain pan. If your level is lower in the runoff then you have to compensate and make it higher going in.
 
i've re vived girls almost that bad and still got good yield. Go back to basics. No food. just water. 24/7 light. Invest in a product called Rhizazone.(canna) Can do wonders. Expensive BUT WELL worth it! Spray some on leaves and feed to roots as well. It worked for me but also depends on your set up.Make sure you got plenty of airflow. Good Luck!
