Some strains need more water than others. I water ever 2-3 days with the Afgoo I've got right now. I usually water about .65 quart a plant.

How much did you water?
What kind of soil is it in?
What size planters?
WHat size/age of plants?
What Lights & temperatures?
All these things effect how much water they need.

Watering (over or under) is the #1 biggest issue for new growers.

Shallow watering makes the roots stay close to the surface, meaning fewer/weaker roots and a smaller/weaker plant... too often & too much and you can drown it..

Water DEEP- all the soil should be saturated and some leaking out of the bottom of the planter--- let the runoff sit in the drip-pan for an hour in case it didn't soak into the soil before running out... the planter should be heavy for it's size..

now- don't water again until the top 2 inches of soil are dry and the planter feels light- but before they wilt...

If they are little seedlings-- water deep- then use a spray bottle to keep the surface of the soil just damp until they need more water (planter will be light) until they get their 3rd set of leaves....

Water em now- and water em deep---then wait! ;)

the soil is coco soil with mixed in perlite.
right now it is in 1 gallon grow bags (thinking about moving to three gallon bags to veg more and get more clones)
right now my cherry pine are about 8 weeks old and 21 inches tall
my lights are simply 2 t-5 with blue bulbs and the temp gets kept between 71 and 75
all plants are under the same light together
the water i used two small whiskey glasses full as i did for all my plants

Man you had to have done something different to this plant. Your other plants look so great, it is baffling.

Post pic of brown stem. Too developed for damping off IMO. Honestly looks like 2,4-D damage but thats a crazy idea unless you have been handling 2,4-D lawn chemicals.
 
hand to god i would never abuse her that way hahahaha. yea i did my research i went into this knowing how to grow just not how to trouble shoot random issues, but i did put a pic of the browning stem it is the second picture on there. i did have to transport them but i did that on saturday last week so it has been 5 or six days... could it be shock? and also i need to know if i can have this plant by the others because i do not want my other ones to get sick as well. this happened over a six to 10 hour period i watered them left them they left when the woke up i checked and he was fucked up...
 
yea I was planning on moving them over to 3 gal bags as soon as possible. what are the chances that this could go over to my other plants? i have them separated but now that one will not be getting sufficient light when the sun goes down.

Personally I think its done..the stem is girdled and cannot feed the leaves. You could try to make clones but they may be infected.(likely)
 
yea most likely.... damn what could have caused this? i hadnt done much to the plants thus far the only difference was the transport a few days ago. I just do not want to see this happen to the rest of my crop
