is there anyone out there???HELLLOOOOOO....lol
Well its a little hard for people to try and give tips without pics :p or lots of info :p

at 6 - 8 weeks old you should definitely be able to use nutes. What kind of soil are you using? MG? if your using MG you can only use like a 10% nute solution. Watering with full nutes & MG soil = burnt & or dead plants. What kind of fert are you feeding them?

For el cheepo norm store boughten nutes i would go with shultz 10-15-10 for veg. I occasionally up to 400% the actualy dosage but stay around 200% most of the time. (but every strain handles nutes differently)

Over watering is definitely a killer. If you are unsure as to when you should be watering give one of your plants a good dosing of water so you know its moist & full. Do not water it until you start to see its bottom leaf's become very floppy and start to hang. when they start to hang pick up your pot and remember its weight. then just start watering your plants when they weight just a little more than it did when it was drooping.

I totally understand about not wanting to show pics but you know what, fuck anyone that will laugh or say bad things. The main point is to get them back to green and growing strong. :)
 
heres the pics.....i have repotted in miracle grow soil....and flushed them.....should be dryed out n a day or two or three....like i say....should i give 1/4 strength nutes on next watering or let it be till the following....trying to figure out next step....i know i really jus gotta wait for the soil to dry out a bit i jus want the yellow to go away and the spots.....and the droopage....my green thumb is broke i think...

Since your in MG soil i would go nuteless until they pick back up. I'm scratching my head, those leaf's in first pic are yellowing w/ brown or black spots. are you pest free? I really wan't to throw out something usefull but I am kind of at a loss looking at that picture :( Hopefully someone will come by and see them and be able to give you a solution. As to removing the lower leafs. Ya whoever told you that they wont ever look normal again they are totally correct but considering that your plant does not have that many nodes or leaf sets I would leave on whatever other ones are looking the same (a dying leaf is a better producer than no leaf at all :p )

Have you checked the plant symptoms forum here? I've got to run for a bit but when i get back if no one has given you a solution i will try and scour for help with your problem :)

Don't give up. as long as there not dead theres hope..

BTW the second 2 images are thumbnails not actual larger pics :p :)
 
okay...ur hittin round the right spots i think ur my guy....yes i did have a pest prob but no more....and okay to removing them....i only did the ones that were real bad...two leaves....will do no more....we need to stay in contact because i think you know your shit n thats who i want to talk to ......so the spots could be from somethin eatin it before???got that taken care of.....ima let that shit dry out a bit more n see if the leaves try to cup up a lil bit n then just do good ph'd water...correct???
 
i have ppl telling me to do different things and i would like to get a similar response....had a guy tell me to get the ph tester before i spend money on adjusters....so if its outta whack should i go right back and get the adjusters...???or should i wait....idk...DAMMIT... someone instant message me on my girls aol instant messanger....too many different responses....need 1 pro to help me....aol instant messenger name is summergirl12187....im n need of help dont want my babys to die....

You can use vinegar as ph down or baking soda as ph up in a pinch. I would get the tester first. And it looks to me like the main problem is overwatering but ph could be playing a part as well.
 
another question would it be okay if i am growing indoors if i take the plant outside during the hot sun hours and bring it back in under the lights at night?????
 
okay, i got my ph tester today and tested and the soil is between 5.5 and 6.5 in all three pots...my tap water is exactly the same...so what do i use to get the ph up to normal and how much....do i do the same for the water EVERYTIME i water, to keep it normal???got plant food too but dont know if i should start giving food on next watering or wait a lil bit for my plants to recover from the overwatering, repotting and nute burn....should i go a watering or two before i give the food???...i have miracle grow soil so not gonna give any nutes yet, right???
 
and i guess dont worry bout the outside question....cant get any solid answers on it so i guess i just keep them inside....
