Help! Plant dying!

[Pountre]

Hi, my plant started looking very sick and I don't know why! The soil is still somewhat moist, I am using 18/6 light 250W HPS

 

[GoodShit97]

Looks like it molded and died

Chop n toss, no saving that one.

I’d guess the OP cooked it with that HPS

I missed the 250w hps comment. Those things crank out some heat for sure.
I would've never tried growing before leds lol.

I didn't check it for only 2 days, could've O saved it othervise? How do I tell if it's starting to mold for the next time?

Yellow browning leaves is your warning sign, when it travels up to the buds she's toast. Basically if anything on the bud is looking orange/brown and it isn't a hair(pistil) it's probably mold/rot

You can trim spots off and save a plant but when it's that far gone I don't think so

Looks like it got really hot... you'll wanna get your environment in check....

75-82f and somewhere around 20 below that for humidity so 50%ish then start dropping that even further down in full flower to the 40% range or so

The more I look at it the less it looks molded and the more it looks like it dried out and got cooked by a 250w HPS.
What size tent is this in?

Hey, I think you had more issues than just a few days that you didn't check on her.....Shes done man, no recovery from that I'm afraid to say. Start again with a new seed or 2 and we can help you grow something you'll want to smoke.

Get something germinating, post your soil, nutrients lighting, water ph. temp, Coco?, Promix? DWC?..what ever, someone here can help.....

Your environment needs to be clean & airflow, temp & humidity all need to be good for success anyone of those 3 out of whack and you will have problems.

Might agree but need more info. He's only running a 250 wt

Pretty small tent by looks of it.

What size tent is this in?

0.6x0.6m

 

[Pountre]

0.6x0.6m

x1.5m tall

That’s a lot of heat and radiation concentrated in a pretty small tent. You really can’t get separation between the light and top of the plant.
Just my wild guess

 

[GoodShit97]

x1.5m tall

Yeah, you fried it with the light would be my guess.
That's a lot of power and heat in a tiny little space. I never ran HPS, but I know what they are and how hot they run from doing electrical work with my father.

You would only need like a 100-150 watt light One of those can be had for like 40-50 bucks on the cheap end, and thats for an LED light.

A little calmag oughta fix her right up J/K

18/6 and it has/had flowers? Must be an autoflower I suppose.

Looks like you nuked her with nutes IMO. What's the runoff ppm like 5,000,000,000? Anything over 1800 will burn it up in soil and ideally you want it in the lower hundreds.
Soils still wet means she wanted nothing to do with uptaking anything in it. If it was just heat, she woulda sucked it up dry trying to stay hydrated.
Curled upward tips and twisting leaves are the sign of the burn in progress but when necrosis sets in there's no saving it and this can happen very fast. From burn to death can happen anywhere from 24-72 hours. The hotter the nutes, the faster the nuking and you went full on Hiroshima from the looks of it.

Didn't even consider overfed

Kinda hard when there is nothing left but smoldering remains, lol

 

[SSgrower]

Lesson learned, adjust the S.O.P. to tent size, or get another 4x4 this time to run a good flowering led light. $100 led should fill that little tent huh?

The plant in the background looks OK. Maybe this was root rot?

Plants usually don't go from alive and OK to dead in two days. Did you just add something to it before the disaster?

I didn’t see that other plant. Excellent observation.
