Hello, I am new to growing and would like a little expert assistance if possible. Plant has been growing since the middle of april (a month and 3 weeks old) and is probably about 15 inches tall right now. It is an outside grow and I've only used organic soil and fertilizer. It is planted in a mixture of worm castings and mushroom/worm casting compost. Seems to like the soil. It is planted in a 5 gallon pot. I've been using mexican bat guano (10-2-1) as a fertilizer (added to top of soil maybe about 3/4 of a cup and mixed well) and earth juice grow/bloom added to water (about 2 tbsp grow and 1 tsp bloom per gallon). I've been watering it about 1/4 gallon of water a day, but it has been very cloudy/rainy/thunderstorms the last week unfortunately. About 2 weeks ago I believe that it had a pretty bad spider mite issue, but I took care of it with neem oil.
More recently I've noticed much more rapid growth, but now the plant seems to have brown spots on the ends of the leaves and does not seem to be as healthy as before. I believe this may be a magnesium deficiency so I went and got some dolomite lime and added about 1/2 a cup to the topsoil and mixed well and watered.
Here are some pictures, let me know ANY suggestions you guys may have for me, and keep in mind I am a complete newb and don't know a whole lot yet. Also, if anyone can pinpoint what type it is I'd like to know![Stick Out Tongue :P :P](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
