Im using miraclegrow shake and feed, those little pebbles.(lol)
I know.. but its all I had..
and I use bottled water.
This is pretty much my first grow..

MG shake and feed is timed release. Very difficult to control. I realize you're broke right now but as soon as you get some funds you really should think about going with a soluble like 420God suggested. I'm not sure why you are using bottled water though. Do you not have good tapwater? Since you are growing outdoors you should also consider collecting rainwater. I know Florida gets plenty of it. It will save you from having to spend money on bottled.:blsmoke:

The bottled water I use is from everyone leaving left overs and not drinking the entire bottle around the house,
and I have hard water.
In it is ALOT of iron. So I can use that.
I also went today to check on the 3 little ones.
and the bigger one is getting tall as hell lol.
Grew like 3inches taller,
realized the spot isnt the best.

Damn, your friends must waste a lot of bottled water!!!! lol! Too much iron will cause other problems. If you have really hard water my best advice would be to use it for bathing and washing your clothes............don't use it for watering your plants!!!!!! I learned this the hard way, hence why I was inspired to do a water thread. If you have an idea what the TDS is you can cut it with distilled or reverse osmosis or even your bottled water. :weed:

I got the water undercontrol.
Thanks doc :)
And the bottled water is from the family members lol.
Im having problems with the leaves though,
what does that look like to you?
And whenever I need clean water Ill just boil it and put it in a gallon of milk container and use it for watering.

Why boil it? If it's hard then boiling will do little to change that. In fact it may make it a tad harder because some of the water will evaporate and leave the solids behind. :neutral:

As for the leaves, they look pretty healthy to me. You have a little damage that I could see on that one leaf but that could just be the wind. Outdoor plants tend to have more cosmetic issues since they are exposed to the elements and all that mother nature throws at plants. It is looking like it's getting a bit hungry to me though. I would just feed her. When plants switch gears into flowering they experience some pretty explosive growth. You are approaching a critical time in the plants life cycle. Without an adequate supply of the elements required for growth, the plant will pull what it needs from the older growth and you may see some yellowing and leaf margin necrosis. It's not that big of a deal really and most people just accept it as normal. I've found that keeping as many of the leaves healthy green as possible until later on in flowering will give you the best yields and quality of bud. Leaves are the solar panels of the plant. They need those leaves functioning at full capacity in order for the plants to reach their full potential. All in all though, they look pretty good.:weed:

No problem. It's what I do. :mrgreen:

I'm having trouble clearly seeing what you are talking about. It could be bug damage or just a deficiency. I could see the chlorosis and necrotic margins in the one pic. I just think they need fed. It's really hard to tell with those timed release nutes. They are great for guerilla growing! Container growing????? Not so much. They certainly don't look overfed. I think you've got some time but I would turn over the couch cushions and look for change so you can buy some decent nutes. I wouldn't use that shake 'n feed stuff anymore.:evil:

I feel good about myself,
just using household supplies and it got where its at.

Lookin good nob, nice to finally see some pics. Think your plant is perfectly healthy that leaf is just lacking in light. When they are outside its good to spin the plant around about 35 degrees every few days to get more healthy even growth. will also help the lower leaves like the one in your pic stay nice and green.

Thanks man,
and yea, its in a box.
Every 2 days I spin the box at a 90 degree angle.
Does that emit stress ?

Does what "emit" stress? Rotating the plants? Not at all. It just helps even out the growth and keeps the plant's overall health better. Low light can cause chlorosis but those leaves usually recover once brought into the light. Rotating the plants will help prevent shading of one side of the plant and give you more nice, consistent sized colas on the side branches.:weed:
