Hello everyone, any help will be much obliged. My two plants are going on two weeks old. One is doing pretty good, looks very healthy and growing nicely. Its on its 4 pair of leaves, the first two leaves or kinda folding inward towards the roots, thats the only thing really wrong with that beauty besides the purple stem. The other plant i have had problems since day 1, it still has only the first two leaves and trying to work on the second pair. On one of the first leaves it looked like something to a bite out of the end of it. After a couple days the leaf started to get spots toward the end, so i cut that part of the leaf with scirrors. Do u all think this plant will pull through and if it does do u think i stunned it to much that it'll be a hermie, or male. thanks for ure alls time its greatly appreciated.
Help! My baby

Its hard to tell without pictures as far is male or hermie its really genetics and chance at that point I dont think that will stress them enough here is a sweet resource though for problems:
NITROGEN (N) Pale plants, red stems, smaller growth. Rapid yellowing of lower leaves progressing up the plant. Add any chemical fertilizer containing N. Treated plants recover in about a week.
PHOSPHORUS (P) Slow or stunted growth, red stems. Smaller leaves that are dark green. Lower leaves yellow and die. Add chemical fertilizer containing P. Affected leaves will not show recovery but new growth will apear normal.
POTASSIUM (K) Affected plants are usually tallest and appear to be most vigorous. Necrotic spots form on lower leaves. Red stems. Leaves appear pale or yellow. Add chemical fertilizer containing K.
CALCIUM (Ca) Lack of calcium in the soil results in the soil becoming too acid. This leads to Mg or Fe deficiency or very slow stunted growth. Treat by foliar feeding with one teaspoon of dolomatic lime per quart of water until condition improves.
SULFER (S) Plants suffering from S definciencies exhibit yellowing of new growth. Mix one tablespoon of Epsom salts per gallon of water until condition improves.
MAGNESIUM (Mg) Lower leaves yellow and may even turn white while veins remain dark green. Blades die and curl upward.
IRON (Fe) Leaves on growing shoots turn pale and veins remain dark green. pH imbalances make iron insoluble. Foliar feed with chemical fertilizer containing Fe or rusty water.
MANGANESE (Mn) Necrotic and yellow spots form on top leaves. Mn deficiency occurs when large amounts of Mg are present in the soil. Foliar feed with any chemical fertilizer containing Mn.
BORON (B) Growing shoots turn grey or die. Growing shoots appear burnt. Treat with one teaspoon of Boric acid (sold as eyewash) per gallon of water.
MOLYBDENUM (Mb) Yellowing of middle leaves. Foliar feed with chemical fertilizer containing Mb.
ZINC (Zn) White areas form at leaf tips and between veins. Occurs in alkaline soils. Zn deficiency can be treated by burying galvanized nails in the soil. Chemical fertilizer containing Zn can also be used.
OVER FERTILIZATION Causes leaf tips to appear yellow or burnt. To correct soil should be flushed with three gallons of water per one gallon of soil.

Thanks Mr. Fishy. Yeah i went from watering every 24 hours to every 36 hours. The soil is 95% dry after 24hrs. I figured another 12 hours not watering would let the roots breath. My one baby seems to be doing fine, just the first two leaves or curling towards the soil. Besides that and the purple stem she's a nice green color and looks very healthy. Thanks again for the reply bro
