Hello, I am a newbie and I dont know what is going on with my plant. A friend of mine no longer wanted to take care of it so she gave it to me, I am not really sure about how old it is or what stage its in. Went to a hydroponics store and from my description they told me it was vegging. I have attached some pics, my leaves look like they are dying crispy on the tips and some are even curling up and dying so i pulled as many as i could off without hurting the plant. The soil it was given to me in didnt look so hot so i transplanted it into Miricle grow moisture controll soil and watered it with a half a gallon of water i let sit out for a day n a half with some greendream added to it. she looks kinda thin to me. but what do i know Im a newbie!! if anyone could please give me their advise on what could possibly be wrong with her i would really appreciate it . oh and the light schedule has been 18 on 7 off...

its in stress right now. one thing that is stressing her is that you have a vegetating light schedule for a flowering plant. right now its trying to reveg. also transplanting into 5 gallons for that plant was a bit to soon and your giving it plant food without knowing or adjusting the ph. with nutes they are acidic to keep shelf life. when you add them to water your ph will be very low and without adjusting it will make your soil very acidic
