I would have thought including the word Virgin would have gotten you a response by now... I'm a newbie myself, so I don't have too much advice. First, the best TLC you can give your plant is to read as many stickies on this website as you can. Especially the one titled "how to grow marijuana" in the Newbie Central forum. Definitely read all the stickies in that forum and the "General Marijuana Growing" Forum.

Second, try to give more info. In your case, what kind of soil are you using, what kind of water, have you tested the pH, do you add nutes? Same with the aerogarden plant. What kind of nutrient pellets came with the plant? I don't have enough experience to guess at your problems with the brown spotting.

Third... you asked how your garden looked. What kind of lights are you using, and how many total watts, and how many total plants? Plants look a little stringy, which is not going to do much harm, but from the pics it looks like you need more light on those babies. But that's not meant to discourage you... these plants can probably recover from anything, and they look mostly healthy right now. As far as indica vs sativa, it is hard to tell so early in the game.

Answer all these questions and add more detail and I think you'll get real good answers on this forum. PEACE.
