ok so i bought this plant about 3 days ago. the plant came perfectly fine, no problems, but by the next day it was dissaster waiting to happen. the bottom leaves began to droop down, and by this morning the top leaves are drooping down too!! so i thot ok its just some wilting, so i watered it , about 3 times that day (i no may have not been very smart but im new to this). so now the bottom leaves have yellow tips and i fear it will only move up. im growing OG Kush and it has enough space for now. please help me , thanks for any help and please ask questions if you need to.
watering : not very consistant atm, but since it has been wilting ive been watering it more than i normaly would, generally whenever the soil gets dried
growth stage: not exactly sure, it has 5 leaves if that helps
lighting :indoors, flourecent , i turn it off at 6:30 and on again at 12:30

sounds over watered. let the soil dry out.

when watering, soak the soil, and let it dry before saturating again.

It looks like it to me..There could be alot of problems going on, but you have overwatered, and you need to get the tin foil out of there.

pull it out and put the blob of wet dirt in a pot of dry dirt and let the dry dirt wick the water out. it may pull back, but at this point it's unlikely.

sorry :(

the dirt isnt dripping or anything its just moist, im sure its heat stress, but ill try to dry it too.
71f wouldn't cause heat stress...

roots need air to breath or they rot. if they stay saturated, they will die and turn brown. this is why you need to let the soil dry mostly before watering again

i water my soil plants when the wilt from thirst and not before.

i don't think bathroom lights are good lights. you'll need special agricultural lights. i'm guessing over-watering and bad lighting is the cause of your plants woes.

well it was under flourecents, which arent too bad i dont think. but yea definately over watered.the dirt was quite broken up though so i dont think the roots are rotten.
