Post some pics. How old are your plants? Are they in veg or flower? What kind of medium do you use. What is your pH usually?

Yellowing, followed by browning, followed by dead leaves could be overwatering if it starts at the bottom of the plant and moves up.

If you are using soil, watering once a day is WAY too much. I water at most twice a week, sometimes only once. If the plant wants water, it will droop its leaves a little "begging" for water. You also definately don't need to water if the top inch or 2 of your soil is wet still.
I have no experience in hydro or aero if thats what you are doing.

Your pH is also prime for nute lock, if that hasn't already happened. You want your pH between 6.5 and 7.0 if you're growing in soil. That could be another reason for your leaves dieing.

Actually if your bottom leaves are turning yellow but there is continued healthy growth there is no problem. My plants are soil and I water once a day and that works for me, when I miss a watering (once every two days) they all beg for it.

To add to that, I'm not saying everyone should water daily, but my room is hot and water is absorbed much quicker. Unless your getting yellowing up top I don't think you should worry

He wouldn't have to worry if his plant was in flower, because yellowing leaves toward the bottom of the plant are natural during flowering. During veg though, yellow leaves anywhere are usually indicative of a problem.

god damn this must be my problem

i have seedlings growing in my closet, my first growing attempt... I keep the top nice and wet and the bottom leaves just started turning yellow, and now a little brown on the tips, they must be drowning.

Thanks Everybody!!
