You watered your plant with out of date milk?

Wipe that white stuff off your plant and stop watering her so much!

Water the plant thoroughly and allow it to dry, this way the plant spreads its roots out to find water and utilized the entire pot.


what lighting are you using?

I use universal soil with 6.5 Ph...and how much water does it need and when?I heard from a friend that it's good for it to put sum milk(he said it doesn't matter if it's out of date or stg. else).I use about 10-12 hours of sunlight during the day and 3-4 with a normal 100w lamp,but I don't put it on that light.

You're doing it all wrong.

Buy yourself a few CFLs or even a 150 watt hps light.
Put the lighting on for 18 hours and off for 6.

As I said above; Water the plant thoroughly and allow the top inch of soil to dry, this way the plant spreads its roots out to find water and utilized the entire pot.

Don't use milk.

its way to wet for a start, its only needs to be moist.. ur drowning it... and dont use milk lmao... jus bye a bottle of Ashbeck mountain water from Tesco its the perfect PH 6.4-6.5, jus bye urself a mister bottle and mist the soil with it until a little soaks down and the top is nice and damp, that is all it needs at this stage, once bigger u can start pouring the water in but not till its got into veg. jus let it dry out a bit and hope she recovers but the stem looks nasty and red and the leaves look a little discolored, again jus spray the leaves with the water in the mister bottle to wash that milk off and then leave it... hope this helps. GL to u.
 
its dying because your messing witht its light cycles this happened to me earlier this yearwhen i didnt know too much about plant care too

what u wanna do is just find the place in your backyard that gets the most sunlight and dont move it from there
the other option is to buy some expensive lighting and a timer and control the light that way but you either gotta choose indoors or outdoors, outdoors is better imo :mrgreen:

I have heard of spraying a mild milk solution for powdery mildew but WTF? That was just the perfect seedling. Kill it and start over. Follow The above advise.

Day 11:I've cleaned the spots from the milk,and now I'm only watering the plant with mineral water,but there is a problem...the new leaves are still growing,but the old ones are dying slowly...
Here are two pics:
 
DO NOT water it anymore. You're drowning the poor thing. If you let the soil dry out and refrain from watering it, there may yet be some hope. Hopefully, the new leaves will survive but the older ones have necrosis, they won't recover from that. The water leaves are dead too, which is not so good. Now that I think of it, the best route would be to transplant it into dry soil RIGHT NOW. These plants like semi-dry soil, yours looks like sopping wet mud.

for your next attempt. fluffy moist soil. the soil in your pics really does look like mud. just spray your soil as you mix it. make sure your soil is damp, not soaked. spray with a water bottle as you mix. make sure the water is room temp. if your using tap water leave it out in an open container for a day. mix in some perlite with your potting soil. im mixing 70% potting soil and 30% perlite. simple. plant your germinated seed. spray the top of your soil til the surface is damp. keep warm and under light or lights. spray the surface of the soil til saturated for the first week or two. make sure you use pots with drainage holes. you'll eventually want to water thru, til you see water drain out the bottom. perlite will help increase drainage. remember to water only when the soil is for the mist part dry. you can stick your finger in the soil to determine this. if the soil seems dry and the leaves are drooping you may need to water. if the soil is wet and the leaves are drooping you may have over watered.
judging by your pics id say it was just poor soil. nitrogen or mg def,,.. they need a clean slate in better soil. a nice fluffy, moist soil mix. im guessing even a standard bag of miracle grow would help.
