2nd time has failed...Grrrrrr

Hello people.

My second attempt at growing has failed after 3 days and I don't know what the hell I'm doing wrong. I thought that my first attempt failed because of transplanting, but now Im not too sure. This time I did'nt transplant and the damn thing just kieled over after 3 days, and as you can see I've made a lame attempt at propping it up with something, but it was flat out on the soil when I woke up. Ive got good soil, good lighting, good vent and all that shite and Im sure I didnt over water....What else do I need to do for the buggers.
Im gonna give it 1 more bash and if that fails then fuck it, everthings going on ebay and Im back on the beer.

Can anyone give me some useful advice or tell me what Im doing wrong please. Thankyou

What is the temperature under that light? Do you have a cannabis grow book?

yeah Ive got a book.

The light is 250w sodium and temperature of room is about 80f.

How far should the light be away from plant??

That room looks tiny your plant might not have enough carbon dioxide try spending some time with it for air exchange. If its not that or the lighting I have no other gusses but you obviuosly did somthing wrong so read some more and find out what it is.

Nah, I'm sick of reading. And the room is a wardrobe in my spare room with the doors ripped off. Windows are open 24/7.

Thanks anyway bud bud ding ding 2 99

it looks like you transplanted too soon and shocked the plant...while you did your transplant how did your root structure look?
was it small and tight or dence and spred out.
the tipping is mainly from all the cappalarys in the stem break down from that shock if the roots are not strong enough to support the plant

That was my first time buddy. I have'nt transplanted this time.

the problem is the halogen light. halogen is the wrong spectrum, you need compact floros, hps, or metal halide light to grow.

Got me confused there mate...Who said anything about Halogen. I have 250w sodium

hey dude i really cant tell you whats wrong, i once had the same problem too. Its most likely the soil, the nutes, and the distance of the light. My plants were dying as well when i used soil, but i decided to put them in a hydroponic system, and they sprung back to life. Incase you dont know, hydroponics dont use soil. They use a growing medium like perlite, gravel or rockwool (there are many more). They are put in a resivore of "working water" and nutes. You can make a cheap one for 10-30 dollors. You could use normal nutes with many trace elements or hydroponic nutes. If you want to try 1 more time then try hydroponics. Hydro can also improve you results by up to 75%. Make sure youre using the right nutes as well. High N, Low P and Med K for veg, Low N, High P and Med K for bloom. Your Light should be exactly 1 meter (over a yard) away from the tip of the plant.

Check this soil vs. Hydro test done by overgrow.com: http://www.overgrow.com/article/22
And check here to make a cheap bubbler bucket hydro system: http://www.overgrow.com/article/2
or look around online for one (nice full kits in ebay, just search "hydroponics").
