Anything wrong with these? Pics.

These two plants were both mishandled and damaged.

The one in the first two pictures: I was trying to bend it to slightly break it so the stem would grow stronger but being my first time and all I applied too much pressure and the main cola broke. At the time the main cola was still small and developing and I actually didn't break just the main cola but the two leaves that were developing also broke off along with it (you can actually see where I broke it off in the second picture). SO after that a few of the bigger leaves started to show these burn symptoms and Im not sure what it is, they appeared before I even gave them nutes so I dont think its a nute burn?

The plant in the two last pictures: This one had me drop another pot on top of it, almost breaking off the main stem. I used a stick and a piece of string to guide it into its regular posture and now the its doing well except for these curly and burnt leaves. As with the first one, I had not given nutes at all before these symtoms appeared. I thought it appeared due to the stress that I caused the plant, breaking the stem off and all, causing an inconsistant deliverance of nutes and energy to the plant. I don't know, Im not an expert just a whole lot of assumptions =p

Thanks...

looks like some nute burn... the purple color I am going to assume is from the camera seeing that everyhting and not just the plant seems tinted...

Yes, its the camera doing that. Im using a webcam to take them and as u can tell the quality is crappy even on highest resolution 640x480. Nute burn huh? Alright thanks

yes I would check the ph of the soil and make sure that your water is of neutral ph. what kind on nutes are you using and how much?

Im using PLANT-PROD's ALL PURPOSE FETILIZER 20-20-20 which im using at 1/3 strenght. I dont have a PH checker and not planning to get it at all in the future. Is it mandatory? Like can i still grow a good crop even if my PH level is off?

pH drips are only $6. its difficult to check the pH of the soil, however you can know the pH of your water. If you continuously put 6 pH in there, it eventually will stay at pretty much 6. there are ways of using drips to test the soil. Ive simply dumped some soil into a clear container with 6 pH water, waited until all the dirt settled, and tested the pH again.

as I replied to your other post... Yes you need one... spend a little money... it will be well worth it in the long run.... let me show you the difference in some plants... same plants... 2 weeks apart...the first pics were taken when they were already 2 months old... wouldn't grow... I didn't have a meter or nutes... second pic is same bunch two weeks apart.... this is why you need one..:thumbsup:

actually it loaded wrong... obviously the last plant was the first pic! LOL
