Northern Lights: Newbie

Hey wassup ppl, im a newbie in the growin game...but a veteran at blowin it down (LOL). I been growing this plant for about a couple of weeks, and I read about germinating, vegetation, the harvest/curing. My plant continues to grow everyday (Lol using the fork as a reference, but im using regular miracle grow, 25 watt bulb (20hrs a day). But I have questions, my leaves are appearing to droop down and the bottom leaves are turning yellow and dieing. Are there any signs that I am raising this plant improperly?

What up, mang. First, get more light. Second, you ARE going to need additional nutrients for the plant. Look into Alaska fish fertilizer for your vegging.

more light, make sure the other 4 hrs are complete darkness, change the cycle to 12 hrs of light a day, 12 hrs of solid darkness when it reaches 1 foot tall, and get some more/better nutrients
 
Also, I realized that as my plant grows, the lower leaves are dieing off as well (turning yellow). But to my understanding, i was informed that as the plant grows (still young) the lower leaves die as well. But also i learned that from the symptoms, it could be a lack of a mobile element in which it starts from the older leaves and follow up to recent growth. Like the lack of nitrogen or phosphorus. Pictures coming soon....any advice ? Also I been using the new (packets) Miracle Gro all-purpose

Someone told you that its your light that cause the issue, why do you need other people to repeat it?
The lower leaves get no light and die. That simple.
