How does this plant look?

I have a small grow cabinet. I have two plants in there under 4 40 watt 2720 lumen cfl bulbs. The temp is right around 75 degrees with constant airflow. I have been really pleased with how well its gone so far.

I had to go out of town for 10 days. I watered the plants every 3 to 4 days depending on how it looked. When I left I put a bottle drip thing I bought at lowes. I did not stick it down far enough in this plant so it was not watered for 10 days, or very minimally. The other bottle/plant worked fine. The lower leaves are yellow and curved in and the upper leaves are almost purple.

Anyway, when I left this plant was far more green and lush. Is there anything I should do? How far along is this plant? Maybe I am overacting but this is the prize pig in my first grow.

Any feedback would be much appreciated. IMG_0044.jpgIMG_0046.jpg

I don't know what it is. I just had a jar of seeds I had collected. Out of the 6 I tried 4 plants grew. This which I believe is Sativa and 3 indicas, two of those were male so i am down to two. Plan on
ordering good seeds as I get better at this.

How should I groom it?

definitley groom it, if you don't plan on making butter/hash those leacher leaves should be cut off or any non-essential leaves that are blocking budsites. consider the bottom leaves first because looks like those are the ones that are having a hard time and your plant is going to be putting a lot of energy into trying to keep those leaves alive, rather than energy to your buds. :-/ GL man, looks promising. keep us updated weekly & make sure to post pics of your harvest!

You should think about lollipopping the plant, as those lower leaves aren't looking too great and at this point they're just wasting valuable energy and nutes.

If you don't know what lollipopping is, it's essentially cutting off the lower leaves and leaving only the top healthy cola and surrounding leaves and literally making it look like a lollipop. This allows for the energy and nutes to go into helping the main cola grow larger and healthier. If the stem is too week to hold itself up, you should give it some support with strings and kebab sticks and have a small floor fan blowing on the plant to keep it moving and give the stem some strength.

Keep it up man, the top section is looking great.
