just a few things, dirt looks like crap, doesn't look very well aerated, looks to be over watered, tips of plants are burnt. Probably from nute burn.
are you using distilled water?

going to try and find some of that stuff i still might end up with regular potting soil tho lol im broke have no job and was injured at work so as lame as it sounds i gotta have my mom get it for me so i think the peat moss is a good idea but the perlite probably is expensive

don't use the peat moss without the perlite. The perlite makes for good aeration. without it, you will have what you have now. If you still have soil, then get the perlite and add that to your soil.
