Help!

I'm not really sure what's wrong with my plant, but I was given it when it was about a month and a half old (it was only 3 inches tall because the guy before me had CUT it and tried to re-root it.. oh yeah, when I got it it hadn't any roots yet) and I was told it would not live, but "if you really want to try, go ahead." It grew for a little in sunlight and then I got it a 75 Watt cool Floro under which it began to thrive, rooting and growing. I have it on a 18/6 timer, and for awhile it got nothing but worm castings. When it showed a Magnesium Def (the margins turned yellow, and then the younger leaves started to show a bit too, I fed epsom and those symptoms went away.) After awhile longer, younger leaves showed up with small holes, and the oldests fan leaves began to curl under and my whole plant turned a darker green. The oldest fan leaves continued to get worse, as edges dried out and I thought it was potassium def. I've been feeding with Bat Guano and Fox Farms for about a week and a half now and theres been no improvement. Heres some pictures, please help.

Flush with a lot of pure water,this will clean up the soil it is in,when top of soil drys,transplant to larger pot, pour 1x4 tsp peters 20 20 20,with micro nuts to 1 gal water,,pour till runs out bottom of planter,this will clean the soil again,if plants are still a dark green,give one more flush with clean water,Use no more than 1x4tsp ferts: at anytime,during veg, plants can still get to much,if they get dark again,repeat....I Fert:with 1x4tsp every time i water till it runs out bottom,if they start getting dark i flush with rain water,and wait till they need water again to see if they need ferts:most of time takes two times to reduce dark color....

1.Strange - I just flushed my plant the other day a couple times and after reading your response am hoping for a good result.

2. When my plant turned a dark green, all it had was worm castings and top soil... That could have over dosed it? I didn't start to feed it nutrience untill It was almost 3 months old (About 2 1/2 weeks ago)
2(a) It had all these symptoms BEFORE any ferts, besides a 25-30% worm castings 75-70% top soil mixture and a dose of Epsom salts, which made those particular symptoms dissapate.

3.I didn't want it getting any bigger (It's gotten bigger still, 1 foot 7 inches tall now) so I put it into budding yesterday, do you still suggest I transplant it?

4. I don't have (And niether, at this point, can I afford) any More ferts, do you think my bat Guano, Worm castings and Fox Farms will Suffice? The plant seems to like it.

- Much appreciated

you may look at the water bottol. be sure you use the same one each time the amount of water and food you need to cut back. the light is not big enough.just slow down

1.The lights not big enough? I thought the plant only needed 20-30 Watts per square foot, and I have 75 Watts which is literally 1 1/2 inches above the plant (and it's cool, I can even hold the light [as long as I want] without feeling much heat), the only thing I could see is maybe getting another one to put on the side so the lower, newer shoots could get light..

2.As for the watering, I just give it a good amount, see if any runs through, give it a half an hour - if the water has been sucked up, I put a little more, give it another half an hour and if it doesn't suck it up, remove the tray with the water and put a fresh one under it. I think thats better then giving it the same amount everytime.. I'm sure you don't drink the same amount everytime your thirsty, especially as you were growing up as a kid.

3. Slow down how?
