this plant has been in 12/12 for almost a week now, and all the leaves are starting to droop horribly and some are yellowing and dying. here are some pictures. It is a first grow from a bag seed.

It is sad. It wants to cry.
It looks like it could have been badly overwatered.
Are those rocks in your pot?
What are you using for soil?
Does that pot have a built-in drip tray under it?

i know, it looks horrible now! well my friend thought he was an expert at growin but as time went on i stopped listening to what he said. he told me to use superthrive throughout the plants whole life, and he gave me some nut. sticks but i dont know what levels they are. for the last week or 2 i have just been giving straight purified water. the soil in there right now is Black Gold, the seedling started out in some miracle grow infested soil before i changed it. ya those are rocks, i put them in.... i dont even know why actually, my friend said it'd help it out. and no there isnt any drip tray below it, just the holes in the bottom.

If the sticks are still in there, LOSE them. If you can find them, dig them out.
The rocks, if they are only on the surface, are fine.
Teh soil is also fine. It may be holding too much moisture though. Did you add perlite?
Also you are going to need a proper feeding schedule. Lay off the superthrive, it's great stuff but easy to overdo. Give a feeding with a complete fertilizer. Tehn let the soil get drier than I think you have been letting it get. Not BONE dry but so the pot feels light.

i didnt even put the sticks in, by the time he told me to, i realized he doesnt really know what he is talkin about. there are rocks on the top and a layer at the very bottom of the pot. no, i dont even know what perlite is, haha. what kinda fertilizer should i be using then?
