The bottom few of my leaves are dark green and one has a claw. The stem has purple areas and the new leaves are a lighter green.
is this a sign of a nutrient deficiency?

The dark green wouldn't concern me too much at the moment, maybe a little high in N. but no burn on the leaves. The curl looks like a bit too much water to me. How are your temps? Colder temps can show purpling of the stems or maybe just the strain.
P.S. My suggestions are guesses and any correct answers are mere luck! :blsmoke:

I think that stretching is more of a concern. How did you let it stretch so bad my man?

Are you using just straight peat moss? What are you using for nutes? I'm guessing your lights are far away from your plants? The purple stems could be cuse it was a cold upbringing same thing happened to my tomato plants but they recovered. I'm a total newbie too but I'm learning a shit ton from all the great people on the forums.

I would start over. Use at least four bulbs. Keep them close, almost touching the plant.

If you get that thing to flower it will just fall over. Just read up a little and plan a little better.

id have to agree man, that plant is pretty bad. If you have the space id keep it u might u pull a few grams off it, but it doesnt look like u have the lighting to keep it. Id probably trash it, i know how hard it is to trash that first grow. but hell it might turn out male anyway.

You really have to do your homework before starting another grow, theres plenty of great information on this site, and plenty of people here to help explain anything you dont understand. So do some reading and hit us back with your questions.

I agree with whitbb2727 Start over but with an organic soil and organic nutrients cuse a lot of time with bottled nutes people have a lot of problems. Growing organic is much more simple in my experience so far.

Cool thanks. Any suggestions for organic nutrients?
I grow organic but I use manure, compost, and worm castings from my own animals and compost. I don't really buy anything. I did buy alfalfa and oyster shell.

I guess fox farms, roots organic or something of the sort.

Do live in an apartment, house, trailer? What kind of room do you have to work with?

Its kind of hard to go full organic if you don't have the space to mix soil and let it sit.

Read the no till thread I posted a link to. On amazon and other sites you can get a lot of amendments used in small one or two pound boxes. You could mix a large Rubbermaid tote of dirt and use it as you need it.
