Hey guys its my first grow and things where going great untill its started to die i was told it may be due to over watering, so i left it untill it was due to rewater. The plant seemed to keep getting worse so i asked for some advice and was told to run 5 litres of water through, ive done it a day ago and now its still getting worse.. any help would be great guys, added a couple of pics too

Its quite hard to say really looks like there may be a couple issues
The yellow and upcurled tips look possibly like a combo of nute burn and heat stress , the lower bit were its brown and started to be eaten away looks like a ph issue , can someone confirm if water needs ph'ing if using soil? From what ive read the soil buffers it
I guess the 5litres was to flush it would need more than that , the lower droopy leaves look like over watered and the newer leaves look underwatered as the stems dont look like they have weight to them , id back the light off it maybe 4 inch , if you have a fan in there turn it upto full wack for a couple of days get some oxygen to the roots just dont put the fan directly on them just below the light and above the plant should be fine
Early overwater/underwater issues can cause root problems , id let her dry out completley then give her the big flush , put it in the bath and run water through it for 3 minutes , and then put 6 litres of plain water thats been left out for 24 hours through it with no other liquid
, shes still saveable one of mine bounced back from looking alot worse than this , took roughly 5 days after a big flush...
By the way guys i am a newbie grower myself so any input from an experienced grower might be abit better , thought id add my 2 pence worth :)s
 
Also not sure if there is a slight defiecency within the colour of green the leafs are , may just be my eyes but thought id point it out

moved the light away some more and wacked the fan up, hope that feed will bring it back to life over the next few days :( lol
 
Fingers crossed for ya dude keep us updated each day if ya can with a pic so we can see whats going on im sure someone will be able to point you in the right direction
 
get your Ph right mate it will probably solve the rest as its locking the lot out or at least give you a chance to fix it.
to me looks like mag def note praying leaf tip but your lower leaves are showing sings of a Ph attack so could be due to this also check your heat in the grow room.
 
Pretty much everything that's been said already. :bighug:

Droopy leaves - to me as a fellow soil novice - tell me I've over-watered them.
The hardest thing to do is walk away and not water them for 24-48 hours.
I always had to resist the urge to 'tinker'.
You have to be tough to be fair.
If you over-water, you don't encourage the roots to go searching.
They're lazy as fuck.
If you feed them, they won't go looking, and they'll become couch potatoes instead of hunters/gatherers.

The 3 most important things to first few grows in soil [in my humble opinion]:
  1. pH
  2. pH
  3. pH
Most importantly - they're bloody forgiving.
As long as you show them you care, and they see you making a genuine effort to correct your mistakes, and can feel you making an effort - they'll respond.

:pighug:
