hey! in my attempt to resolve a scary looking condition in 2 of my 5 wee ones (planted april 11th) i might have done more harm then good :(

i will include pictures

one of the 5 has a "burning" or curling up of some of the far out tips on the lower 2 major leaves

2 of the 5 are turning pale :( it started with one and then the other - the setting in of a scary paper white in the leaves (the whitest leaf has drooped)

i tried to treat the 2 youngins for deficiency by stirring some tomato innards in water and adding iron supplement for people (from the drug store, after rinsing its coat off and breaking it up into some water with the tomato for acidity)

im using a laughably weak setup :( regular potting soil and as much light from my roof as i can get them

ive been hardening the plants since transplant from dingy nursery pots

i hope someone can help!! ive grown attached!
please reply soon and dont be too discouraging

No dude its you!! Where did you get crush a tomato and feed it the juice for acid? Go get your soil and re pot them taking care to get as much of the soil they are in off. I am afraid to ask but do you have a nutrient yet? We can get this fixed just stop with the home remedies ok? Let me know when they are re potted and what kind of nute you have.

Finely crushed glass also works well because it slices the bugs open as they try to live on the soil. WTF?????

ive repotted the poor things into not too small terre cotta pots (lable says 12") changed as much of their soil as i safely could and made a big ass mess doing it on my roof :(

the day after the operation (today) its rainy! i brought home 20-20-20 water soluble but am waiting for them to have some light before i run the first dose through them to minimize shock (they are indoors at the moment )

is this another bad idea of mine?

update! not for faint of heart

i waited until their soil dried before feeding them 5ml of 'PlantProd cut into a gallon of water (as recommended in dosage guide)
after that they saw 3 subsequent days of rain and poor light :( and in staking some plastic over there heads for protection i jabbed one of my plants in its root and pushed it underground a little with the stake -_- seems to be okay lol

the whitening of leaves has stopped (or atleast slowed down) but white is still apparent on one of them and others are seeing burns

ive attached clearer pictures for your review, thanks for any more help!

p.s
another seed somehow found its way into one of the new pots and sprouted very late!
