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?

i have good well water here and i gave it too many nutes that caused the burn
and the soil sucks i know mg is shit never again... next time its fox farms

anything i can do to improove the dirt rather than just getting new soil i mean im getting soil today fuck it ill make my mom get it lmfao gotta go to city for appt anyway

now i sound dumb but ill get new soil today if i got to wal mart whats a ok soil will regular potting soil in a bag do better than this ?

and thanks for responding so quickly man i appreciate it

i cant get ff til i go to hydro store so ill have to go to walmart or home depot or lowes i just dont know what soils good i thought the organic mg was fool proof but it wasnt airy like the plants like

on a side note do you play an instrument ? i see your quote in your bio thing... i play guitar ha and drums

is 70 degreese not hot enough for them its consistent

if it was me, I would get this http://www.homedepot.com/b/N-5yc1v/Ntk-All/Ntt-premier?browsestoreoption=1 and add some of this http://www.homedepot.com/p/THERMOROCK-2-cu-ft-Perlite-489701/202187623.

yes, I play guitar and some drums. the quote is from charlie sheen though.

thank you so much man and rock on dude lol thats awesome

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.

should i add to the soil i have with the peat moss? or just use peat moss and the pearlite ?

like i said i thank you alot and i just wanna keep these beautys alive they look ok but not 100% the big ones going to be a bush if i keep it alive ha.

if you can, just use the peat and perlite combo. or like I said above, add it to any soil you still have.

i just wanna make sure i can use just pearlite and peat moss and nothing elese ?

also, do you have any drain holes in the bottoms of those cups?

yes, That is how I grow. I use pro-mix, which is what you will make mixing the two.
