my plant, i call her lucy, is about 25 days away from done. she's just a lil experiment to see if i could get it done. so far everything's gone fairly well.

a lil background: she started in one of those lil greenhouse things you can get at home depot. she stretched out really bad until i got her own pot, soil, and lighting.
lights, at 1st she was under 4 6500k daylight cfls, i started 12/12 on 4/20 and switched to 4 2700k soft white cfls. she's budding all over the place, and looking really great.
soil, i just grabbed a bag of MG organic potting soil, it was a spur of the moment decision.
the temperature inside her lil habitat holds steady at right about 80 degrees.
feeding, as far as watering went, i used tap water, and fed her this schultz 10-15-10 plant food (7 drops/quart), and watered her every third day. i used the plant food everytime and when she started flowering i added in sum earth juice bloom liquid fertilizer (really smelly stuff). i only gave this to her a few times b/c i was afraid of over fertilizing her.

so everything was going pretty swell until about a week or so ago, a few leaves at the bottom had turned yellow and died off along the way, but lately it seems that evey set of fan leaves going up is turning yellowish. a few friends suggested that my problem could be the tap water. i have since grabbed sum distilled water and been just giving her that w/out food. i don't have a ph tester, but everything was going fine w/out one until now. hopefully the pictures will help show what i'm talking about.

any help would be greatly appreciated, i really want to see her make it thru to the end.

the greenhouse thing wasn't a real greenhouse, it was one of those seed starters that u put ur seeds in the lil hole then put the "greenhouse" clear plastic lid on top and let the seeds sprout.
