About your "over watering" issue...what kind of soil are you using, and what have you done to aerate the soil? It sounds like it's staying way too soggy, so perhaps adding a 30-50% mix of perlite next time would do you some good. If the soil doesn't have time to dry out, your roots basically suffocate...and this, of course, will pretty much bring a halt to all growth.
Of course, it could be a number of other things (pH, nutrient lock, etc.). But, from what you've described, it almost sounds like your soil has the consistency of mud...which makes it very difficult for your roots to get any oxygen.
