Finally you managed to grow somthing although you like to do it the hard way! See the purple on the main stem and see where it turns gree at the top? Thats the point at which you stopped being a d!ck to your plants!!!!!

Plants look overwatered, an easy mistake for noobs, you haven't cultivated the top soil either!!! Learn to water and cultivate!!!

Roots breaching the surface are probably overwatering or needing a bigger pot, check roots on drainage holes, if they look like they are filling the drainage hole repot, either way water better and cultivate too!

Whatever you are doing keep doing it, change things slowly, less fertilizer is better than too much! Keep it simple! Brown spots may be pH or under fert, either way you need to concentrate on what you have got right!

Well i will admit i might of over water a tad bit until now. Last time i water them was 6 days ago or a week ago the soil at the bottom was not moist n not desert dry soil. I think the rust spots r from not feeding them,which im really trying to save up money to buy my plant food.

I would stick something all the way down the soil if you don’t have a moist reader before you water again make sure it’s dry because thats alot of water we’ve all done this in the beginning

If you knew cultivating soil you would do this every time you watered and then some, I don't see you doing this, small things are important to growing plants, learn to do it right!

they don't look so bad dude! a bit overwatered yes. you should let them dry more like you are doing now. they are perking up i think. also seems to be a lot less nutritional problems than the first pics on the post.

once you can afford it, make sure you get a full range fertilizer with both npk and micro nutrients in it. also, if you can't afford a digital pH pen (no way don't buy that analog meter soil probe shit), get the paper testers, lakmus paper or something that indicate pH by color. pH is very important. when you start feeding, do it slowly at really low dosage, and up it gradually when feeding every other watering.

as for tilling the soil like that - it is very good when you have drainage problems etc - but the downside is that it disturbs microbial life in the soil. and you need that life. but still i'd do it if having moisture problems like you yeah.

You can buy the PH test kits on ebay for about $6. But they are not that accurate. But they are better then nothing. If you do a google search for Sper Scientific you will find a very nice quality PH pen for about $45. I like it better then the $100 pens I have used before. Get one of these some day.

When useing the PH test kits, remember that when you look at the color in one light , it will change in another lighting. This is why they are not that accurate.

Cultivating destroys microbial life! Link or proof please as have never heard this neither understand how cultivating can destroy microbes! Most farm feilds are cultivated and so are pot plants. Cultivating helps stop dry pockets, surface crusts and even watering and drying of soil! Screw the few microbes i might or might not be killing. I have never heard this please explain for me????
