what's wrong with her??

So I've got a single plant. Nothing major, basically threw some seeds in a pot, let it sit on my balcony and up it came. I recently moved and in the move the stem got shut into a cupboard door. The stem seems to be strengthening up alright, but she's awfully droopy and some of the leaves are turning brown.

My concern is this is the issue being fungal, and not just from the shock of the injury and being moved inside.

I seriously haven't done much to this plant other than water it with some basic plant food, and keep it in the sun. I now have to keep it indoors, but have a decent grow light for it and a fan (real basic setup, but just 1 plant). It was going strong, but now seems to be getting sick. Anybody have any thoughts as to what may be wrong or what I can do to nurse her back to health??

My friends and I have grown fairly attached to this plant and would like to see it do well. Any thoughts you may have at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

what kind of light and nutes are you using? how much water do you give? . . . as specific info as you can give on you grow will help you to get a better diagnosis. . . good luck man!

What kind of soil are you using? What is your pH? It looks a little overwatered as well.

Just using basic miracle grow potting soil (will post levels on it when i get home from work). Don't really have a way of telling pH at the moment.

And yeah, it rained quite a bit here the past week, which is why it looks quite wet (I haven't watered it myself for a few days). With moving and what not I wasn't able to keep as close an eye on it as I usually would.

This is truly a low tech, super basic grow and really the first plant I've ever tried to really do anything with.

Looks like typical over-watering, and over fertilization. Wait for it to dry-out more between watering's, and no more fertilizer until it starts looking better

hrmm..yeah that makes a lot of sense. With all the rain the past week, probably released an excessive amount of the slow release chems in the soil which caused a little nutrient burn.

Am I making all that up or is it a fairly reasonable theory?? :)

Thanks everyone for the help so far!
