1st time grower need help!!

[wh1tel1ne]

My plant is about 3 weeks into vegetation and I've had no problems until now. All day yesterday my plant was completely fine, leaves were pointing out and it was lookin real good. That night I watered it and left it outside since the weather was real nice (min. by the night was no less than 70F, a little humid though), and this morning I went outside and it was completely on its side, the root was pretty soft to the touch and the leaves drooping like crazy, so for now i tied the root to a stick so maybe it can regain itself. Could I have overwatered the plant or could it be something in the water? or maybe something NOT in the water? Please Help!!

I attached a pic of it so you guys can come up with a better conclusion.

Looks like you over watered it. Sure there wasn't a quick rain that went on in the middle of the night and evaped so you didn't know it rained?

Overwatering... hope you don't have root rot.

What sort of soil is that?

Yeah next time add some MORE perlite to it. It's holding too much water atm.

Gotcha, thanks so much for the input. I checked the plant and all the leaves are still drooping and curling aside from the small leaves that are growing right near the base of each stem. Think theres any chance of survival or should i just put that one to rest?

Turns out I should have not left it outside because the humidity was outrageous. Some of my moms plants in her garden ended up doing the same thing.

Lesson learned
