not sure how this works, but need help with my plant

[nquarterman001]

my plant is just starting to bud a few weeks ago, but these leaves have been slowly wilting for a few months now. any ideas how to stop this process? and also if they have negative influence on the plant should i clip them off? any information is helpful still very new at this.

Thats a normal process for lower leaves to start turning yellow and fall off. Yes they can be trimmed without hurting the plant.

I've been using miracle gro seed starter for my soil, should i keep using the same soil even though there is high nitrogen percentage when I repot (just starting flowering) or should I get something more reasonable. Also is a 10lb bucket too big to repot into for a foot and a half plant, and lastly i have these black circular sappy deposits accumulating on the tops and bottoms of my leaves. What r they? I noticed them only after I started putting my plant outside

Putting them outside without finishing them outside can be a bit risky. It's a little late in the season (at least for me) to finish outside.

Doesn't ring a bell for me....can you supply a picture.

these are the sappy spots i had mentioned. a lot of them wiped off, but if this is something caused by pests i'd like to neutralize it before it becomes a problem. i knew going outside would be risky, but had no other options at the moment.

Can't tell all that much from the picture....but could be thrip shit. Read this thread to see if that helps.
