Will do. I've been doing some more research, and it kind of looks like a mix between nitrogen and potassium deficiency. This could be caused by a high or low potential of hydrogen, which I am unsure of the value, but from what I've read a pH too high or low could prevent nutes from being absorbed. Therefore, maybe if I fix that, I fix the N and P problem!i have that same strain in flowering right now and those looked just like mine as babies.. one of mine was very light green like yours. those look healthy tho bro, its a fast growing plant and very exciting to watch

check the Ph but once you start adding nutes it should be all good.

possibly it also could be that you've depleated the natural nutes in the small amount of soil you have and you need to add nutes ph is very imprtant when adding nuts though if you dont know your ph then adding nute can be dangerous for you plants as it affect the ph. step one get ph test kit for water and soil step tow for you get some nutes with nitrogen and potassium. look like more of a nitrogen problem though potassuim deff causes purpling of stems and yellowing of the margins of the leaves between the veins, veins stay greener, potassium is also very good for root and stem development/growth

Thanks again. I have some pH litmus paper, but unsure how to read it. I will try my best to go pick up a soil test kit from lowes tomorrow, because I bet the pH is off. Also, if it is off, what are some cheap/free ways I can raise or lower it? Sorry, but I am broke right now lol.

Yeah. Any clue how to read this pH litmus test? Mine is at about the 100ppm, but what the hell does that mean in terms of pH?

Damn I really need a pH tester. For cheap/free preferably loll.

um i thin the 200 is neutral ph 7 and 0 would be acidic while 400 would be alkaline ? if its fliped even 200 should be the neutral point wich is what you want the water an soil to be. but i would um reference a chem or biology book or a old teacher mayb? just tell them you have a cactus or something thats been giving you greif and you think its the ph of your water

Hell ya man I feel ya. I started with 6 cfl from lowes in a homemade fixture, which worked ok. My ventilation system consists of 2 5in computer fans Jimmy-rigged to a 12 ac adapter I found lying around lmao. I sold a bunch of ps3 games on ebay and got $250 then got this 400w hps mh conversion system I'm using now. Money is hard to come by when your laid off
. If wonder if home depot will take rabbit skins as payment for a pH tester?
