This is in reference to my first plant that's approximately 2 weeks into growth. It was originally in soil, I just transplanted it into a makeshift hydro system I put together yesterday. The medium I just gathered real quick today after I almost gave up and threw them outdoors in the wild. It is just normal rocks I found near the road. I "cooked" them in boiling water for 10 minutes and washed off everything. It's not in rockwool or any paper or filter or anything of that nature. I have an air pump pushing air through a hose to the bottom of the coffee container that bubbles up to the "net pot" I made out of a washed sour creme container that I drilled 1/8" holes all around (apprx 25 total scatter from bottom to 4/5 up) I have little faith in this one surviving though.
It's growing indoors under 3 CLFs all 26 watt and one "plant light" that's 75 watts, I think maybe a Philips (it's shit i've noticed). Every now and then I put them (3 plants total, 2 I believe I'm abandoning that are currently outdoors) outdoors during the hottest/brightest 2 hours of the day. I was spraying them with a water bottle 4 or 5 times a day with about 5-10 sprays and I added water directly to the soil in small moderation (1 or 2 oz every three days) as I learned that the nutrients in MG can burn the plant.
Like I said, it was in Miracle Grow Moisture Control soil for about 15 days and they were germinated in a paper towel for a few days. And I would assume it's in a vegetative stage of growth if it's not dying.

Here are some pictures I took today. This is maybe half a day after transferring the one from soil to hydro. I turned the CFLs off to take these pictures because I thought the camera flash would give a more accurate representation of the coloring. The two in the soil were left outside overnight. I think the temps were in the low 50s. Again, they are basically being abandoned, I just wanted to show the differences between the healthiest and the others. Out of curiousity though, I would like to know what causes the leaves to get holes in them and turn dead brown around. I have been told that it can be caused by the cold and also have heard that a fungus can do this and is treatable with a garlic water. I have so much to learn, but I am not rushing it. Thank you for your time and efforts.
What can be seen are tiny dark, reddish or rusty spots on the top of the leaves, the bottom two little round leaves are almost entirely yellow while the upper/older leaves are as well (the newer little ones seem all green thus far). I also have a small fan circulating air through the small space. It is not blowing directly on the plant but I can see that it is shaking from the airflow.
