I have looked and see none and Haven't used anything from outside. The best solution I can think of is to flush and repot. Any ideas? Help please!
i would say either it's either underwater or overwaters, and since you provided the best clue of all

"i have no clue what is going on. the plant is drying out before watering, with an average watering of once a day."

you SHOULD NOT be watering once a day! this is way too much. you need to let the pots dry out pretty good before you decide to water. a good way to test this out is to let the pot dry out nice and good (it should feel dry at least down to the second knuckle on a finger when you stick it into the soil). you can also use your index finger and thumb on each hand and grab the rim of your pot. bounce it up and down just a bit. you will get a feel for when she's full and when she's empty.

no one can tell you when to water, as it depends on many factors (lighting, heat, plant size, pot size etc. etc.). i can assure you that once a day is too much.

get to know your ladies. and don't freak out every time she sags a bit. just put into effect all of the things that you are reading and learning on the forums.

remember, especially with a first time grow, people have a tendency to baby their plants. or in other words, most problems are the growers fault!

do you have a pH test kit? if so what's your pH?

hope this helps.
