ok so this is my first season trying to grow and all my plants have died except one and its a pretty pathetic plant but its a girl i just looked at it so i want to save it if at all possible. its in like a 2 liter soda bottle filled with coconut bark and when i went outside to check it there was like little spider webs on it and bugs all over it and the leaves are turning yellow what can i do with it she is only like 6 inches tall it got eaten when it was little and is basically just a stem with 2 branches growing out of the side

Sounds like its being attacked by spidermites.
The 2 liter bottle is a bad idea because its clear and it will allow light to reach the roots. Roots do not like light.
Does it have any leaves? If it has no leaves, it probably won't recover.
If you really have your heart set on trying to save it. Plant it in the ground and get rid of the bugs.
To get rid of the bugs, put a tbl spoon of dawn soap in a gallon of water, shake well and mist the plant with it.

Thats good. It has a fighting chance then.
If it were a dog, I'd take it back behind the barn and shoot it and put it out of its misery.
Note to all first timers: You should really do some basic research about outdoor growing, read some forums and some FAQs. There's more to it than just putting a seed in the ground and watering it even though it doesn't have to be much more than that. In most places, doing this is illegal and if you are going to give it a try, why not put a little bit of effort into it and greatly increase the chances of getting some bud out of it? Just a little bit of education and preparation will go a LONG ways. Its just not worth the risk if the chance for success is microscopic at best.
I know this sounds harsh but it is actually intended to be good sound advice for the first timer.

Let the solution do its work for a couple of days. Then go and mist with water to rinse off the solution. Next time you check them, if they still have bugs, apply solution again. Keep doing this until there are no more bugs.
well to the guy that said i have to read a bout it i have for like a year its just hard when i dont have any money to go into it and i live in such a shitty place to grow im on the side of a highway but i just sprayed it on the plant til it was covered and then 10 minutes later i rinsed it all off with regular water should i go do it but leave the soapy water on longer this time?

Yes and be sure to mist the underside of the leaves as well.

Spray and treat 1st...then replant..the larva will be in the top layer of the soil.. Plus you can take some of the waxy soap at the top of soap bottle and paint around the stem as a barrier, and trim any leaves that give them access to the top of plant(if not too late) , but if as bad as is sounds you may be toast.... Luck.
ok well one more thing my retarded ass just went into the woods to check other plants that i planted a while back that were going great until they got eaten but i found one still alive it was tiny like the smallest budding plant ive ever seen but i checked for sex and thought i saw a bunch of balls at the top of the plants so i ripped it out of the dirt with all the roots but then i looked closer and realized there were white hairs coming out of the balls, which were actually seed pods. so i planted it right back where it was should my plant live? because these 2 are the only ones that didnt get eaten by deer or bugs i started with about 20 plants.

Depends on how much damage was done to the roots.
