im soooooo sorry these are so huge!!!!!! i have no clue how to fix them and if some one tells me how, id be happy to fix it. this is my first time putting pictures up too...

this is my first baby. im really suprised how pretty she's coming in, i just wish she was greener. i dont think its supposed to be this pale. im really not sure what it is, i found this seed and it was more me just interested in seing if it would grow or not than wanting a plant. only a month old though.

heres the middle of it. leaves are growing in from every possible spot, and these are nice and green like they should be. very healthy i think. and see how the stems are reddish? im not sure if its a good thing, but i really doubt a little color is a bad thing.

you can see why i need help. when i first started this thing, i planted it in organic soil, in a little clay pot that had one hole at the bottom. becuase of that and me watering it a little at a time and never flushing it, i think it soaked in bad nutrients, and the ph was always wrong im sure, i never tested the water. i was using bottled water though, we have tons at the house. so we repotted it and now its doing so much better, it looks happier at least and it started growing again (it was stunted for almost a whole week!!)

-here was right after we repotted it a week ago:

anyway....heres some of its problems that i cant fix now:

these spots and yellow color are coming in after i fixed the ph. i think its not getting enough of something and i need to help it get it. what can i get for it? im not even sure what defencency it is cause a lot of them cound a little like this.

heres hoe i knew it was a ph problem. now these leaves are just dying and i want to pull them off. the seed leaves too, there way dead and just hanging there.

these ones actually improved a little after we pepotted it, they have a little more color to them. but there still ugly.

these are the ones i wanna pick off........or would i hurt the plant doing that?

and this one, i might just be trippin on it, but it does concern me cause its the only one like it. the tips of each prong on this one grew out looking deadish. but only the very tip.

I'm no expert, but:

Get a digitalpH meter, all of your problems are pH related as far as I can tell. I'm on my first grow and had pretty much exactly the same thing happen to me. The leaves damaged from pH being off aren't gonna recover. Don't add anything to the soil.

If you don't have one, really get a degital pH meter. All you need is a cheap $30-40 one with some pH buffer. Best small investment IMO.

edit: If you never added any nutes I don't see why you would have to flush.

Just punch "hanna ph checker" into google, I have that model and it's nice. If you are getting new spots then check out stitch's thread at the top of the forum. I don't want to give you bad advice and mess your grow up.

thank you so much!!

i was thinking the same thing, about feeding it, since its a month old now. i just dont know what to get. any suggestions? ? i have no clue what nutes are to be honest with you! i didnt really mean to have a plant, i just found this seed and grew it, i wish i looked into it before i jumped into it.

this is a little odd, last time i watered it, the ph level of the runnoff was .2 levels higher than than the water i put in, it did the same when i watered it today. the water going in was 6.4 and it came out 6.6. i think thats all in range, but its weird.

what do you mean plans? i want to flower it of course, i just have no clue what im doing. i had help but i dont know what happend, so now im completly lost. but i want it to live. i want to grow it. it looks like a good plant and i want to learn. i cant even tell if its a girl, but i think its to young?

ok, im using 4 long 40 watt shop lights which are on 24/7. and thats about it :confused: i have a fan going in there to. i used organic soil and thats it. thats all i can really tell you. i used some b1 solution (i think thats what it was called) that a friend gave to me for a little bit, not much though. it helped it grow a lot, but that was before the ph was messed up.
i ordered the jorge cervantez book a bit ago, i hope i get it soon. ill have more of a clue once i have that i hope.

ok...that gives me a much better idea..also..what make you think your ph is messed up?

....i would say to go to the hydro store and get a bottle of "grow" nutrients
and a bottle of "bloom" nutrients
there are many different brands, but i think because you are new it should be something simple........general hydroponics floranova grow and bloom are one part
ferts that are easy to mix and use

theyre gonna run about $25 a bottle....in the meantme miracle grow or schultz
ferts will do and they are like $4 or $5 a bottle

does your light have 2 tubes or 4?...you can flower under it but you will have to LST it
(lst is low stress training) there is a thread in the microgrows forum by pieceofmyheart called "abc's and lst's"...it shows how to do it

get some ferts and read the growers forums and youll be on your way

i have 2 two tube shop lights. so four long 40 watts all together.

nothing now, im straight with the ph im sure, its just those damn spots and yellowing. i want it to stop lol.
im thinking no on the miracle grow, heard way to much shit talked on using that. never heard of shultz, i think ill go straight to the hydro store. thank you SO much for helping me!!
