yeah... as long as it doesnt get past that 7.0 figure. cannabis doesnt care too much for alkaline water. 5.7 is good for hydro set ups, but soil set ups prefer 6.5. you want to keep the ph level optimized to have the best growth and yield. also, do you know about sexing? if not i can help

So yesterday afternoon she was at her worst - leaves drooping way down, lots of browning on the leaves, absolutely no noticeable growth. Things weren't looking too good. I watered her with poland spring rather than sam's choice around 7 pm and by 11 I saw some improvement in the droopiness, but browning had worsened a little bit. Today, the leaves have perked up a lot more and the browning seems to have stopped. Hopefully she'll make it through. I'll post pictures a little later.
Scias- thanks for all the help! I know a decent amount about sexing at this point from the growFAQ and various threads but keep checking the journal. I'll probably have some more questions as I get a little further into veg.
Smoke2Live- ...what?

was just reviewing this thread again. yellowing is a nitrogen deficiency. if you still have yellowing, find a nitrogen boosting solution. nitrogen is essential to new plant developement as well. this is most definitely the problem. browning could be a calcium deficiency. anyway, like i posted above, let me get a couple of good pics to properly tell whats going on

Here are the pictures. As you can see, she's in pretty bad shape.
I'm 95% sure that the switch back to poland spring stopped the problems, but I'm not sure what to do now.
The second picture is of the worst set of leaves. The fourth is of the best.
Should I keep going with her? Cut off any leaves? The new growth in the center is all dried out/dead (crumbles between fingers) so maybe a premature topping?

She's fine. Everything is normal (pH, nutes, watering, heat). I don't have any more problems as far as I can tell so she shouldn't get any worse.
How can I counteract the damage that has been caused already? Would cutting off the worst leaves help? The newest growth is all dead, so should I top her below that?

So today is a pretty big day. She has much more damage than she can deal with and even if she did get over it, growth would be extremely stunted. At this point, its not really worth continuing this grow, so I am sadly ending it.
Being my very first attempt at growing, I'm not too upset with myself. I now know infinitely more than I did going into this, so I'm really excited to try again and do it right.
I'm going to be making some minor changes to the cabinet to get the best results and will probably start germinating for the next grow on wednesday. Hopefully the Thanksgiving weekend will bring some seedlings, in which case I will have everything up and running next week. I'll definitely be starting up another journal as it was really helpful this time.
Thanks for all the help and support!
