I am new. 3 weeks in. Newbie supplies. Dying Plant

[jackforest]

Started growing approximately three weeks ago and have been dodging obstacles left and right. As an avid marijuana toker, I am disappointed in the difficulty I've had with growing. I have pics of my closet set up and the lights are 100watt CFL and one Tube Flourescent grow light 75w. I realize this is amateur lighting, I'm looking into much stronger MH lighting. 17QT plastic pots with built in draining dish. Miracle Grow potting soil. Water'd every third day with room temperature distilled water. I'm thinking nitrogen deficiency. Here are pictures. Any help would be much appreciated. PH - unknown - will check. Temp - 70. Air circulation from checking frequently on the babies.

Next time, use smaller pots for seedlings...like 4-6 inch pots. And if you go to 17 quart pots; lose the drainage dish, otherwise it won't drain away from roots, and use 30% perlite.

No nutes first 2-3 weeks for seedlings...IMO....have you added nutes yet? Miracle Grow is tricky for seedlings, use seedling starter mix soil next time...

I think you'll find that growing really ISN''T too hard....IF you follow directions from an experienced grower and DONT improvise. Use good lighting, good soil (read: not Miracle Grow) and quality water (checking ph of course) and you should have minimal problems.

Good Luck.
