Plant is dying!

Alright so we just planted some seeds in a little pot just to see if things would work, as an experiment so to say.
Turns out, even without watering the plant survived throughout Christmas break and has grown a bunch, just on the window sil (indoors..) it had been under a simple desk lamp prior to that and shortly after also.
Then we decided to stick it under a 400watt grow lamp, but it has been wilting uncontrollably ever since and we don't understand the exact reason.
the plant has been moved, it was in a plastic bag for about an hour so that may be a factor.
maybe it's just in shock?
we can't explain it. here's a picture.

ps. that picture was from last night. it looks even worse today.. some of the lower leaves are a little shriveled up etc.

could it be that it cannot deal with the strong light now that it's used to a little light for all it's life?

your plant is stretching badly towards the light how far is your lamp away and what spectrum of light is it? what are your temps, soil, pot size, etc...?

the light is about 3feet away (this is since yesterday) before the desk lamp was right above it, but that was only a 100 watt light. I dont know what spectrum it is...its a Sylvania 400 watt HPS GrowLux light. Temp is about 20-30 degrees, depending on how much the light is heating up the room. soil is high quality gardening soil. pot size is a cut in half 2 liter coke bottle (lol). But everything was fine till we put this light in it...so i'm thinking its that...

your plant stretched bad, are you giving it any nutes, it looks like it needs some bad...

my guess would be get it nutes QUICK

unless of course you have already started them

ps dont let it die, if it gets any worse than that, just chop off the top and clone it

no way to tell could be a million reasons

soil
ph
no care
not enough water
who knows


it probably boils down to you have neutral soil and were not giving it any nutes

yeh as they leaves are diverting energy the plant could be using elsewhere so any leave thats 50% damaged remove.
also you notice your main stem is so thin & weak ,probably due to the stretchin & lack of a fan strenghthening the stem.
get a fan on it & keep applying your nutes & should see a difference within 10 days mate,trim all dead or 50% or more leaves off too.
your light should be put down to around a foot away maybe closer, do the back of the hand test, put your palm down on top of your plant & leave for 20 secs & if its burning your hand it'll burn your ladyso move till ok & will also help recover the plant & get it really growing.

all the best

yeah that was a good call, treat that dying plant just like a clone and take exess leaf off, my fault, i think i was getting this thread confused with this thread http://forum.grasscity.com/general-i...ring-pics.html and i just realized after re reading that you just started giving your plant nutes.
