Growing is an art, anyone can do it with the right help, but it looks like you need to invest in soil, I use fox farm, some nutes, not the little bottle of plant food, but real deal nutes, some containers, not 2-liter bottle bottoms, and depending on the soil, it needs just water, ph'd at 6.5, for the first 2-3 weeks, then introduce the nutes, slowly, start a 1/4 for a week, then 1/2 strength for a week then go full strength in the 3rd week, but doesn't hurt to take a week of just ph'd water in between 1/2 and full strength weeks. And make sure you have the proper lighting as that can mess them up also. I have and still do LOTS of reading, as I'm in the flowering stage of my first grow.
