4-5 shot glasses a day? That's really a funny way of measuring...tall shot glasses or standard shot glasses?

Let me ask you a question: did you water your plant every day because the soil felt dry and it NEEDED to be watered, or were you just watering every day....because? Because I watered about once a week, but I knew people who watered more often because their soil would try out faster (hotter temps, smaller pots, whatever the factors are)

And the nutes, what did you use? What strength did you make it? You know that when you first start giving your plants nutes you should start at like 1/4 the recommended strength.

Yeah, overwatering is just as bad for your plant as underwatering. And yeah, nutes you should start low and work your way up

After you water your plants, they SHOULD perk up, the leaves noticeably lift towards the light. If after watering your plants WILT, then yes, you're overwatering. Overwatering can kill your plant.

ok here you probably over nute it for one, wot are your temps in there? wilting can be caused by temps, ove water or underwater ect.. Use your homemade meter.. stick ur finger about an inch in the soil if it is dry water it if still pretty damp then its not ready for water.

first thing stop feeding

second make sure your temps are below 85 F

third if soil is dry flush your plant rule of thumb 3 gallons of water for every gallon of soil in ur case do 2 so if your pot is 2 gallons poor 4 gallons of water in it. dont do it all at once do one gallon at a time wait a few let it drain through then the next one and so forth.

also if you are using cfl's a couple inches above the plant if you have hids 16-18" above the plant. if u have a pic post it that always helps with diagnosing GL!

My husband totally killed a seedling a little older than yours with MG liquid last year - it went limp and then the leaves started falling off. I flushed it out but it was too late. He is now banned from taking care of the plants. I fear you've just done the same thing.
