I have a couple questions for you:
1) Do you have drainage in the bottom of those cups?
2) How long have those plants been in their pots?
3) Are you watering every other day because they need it or because you think that's what you should do?
The green color of your plants doesn't seem to indicate a Nitrogen deficiency, so I'm pretty sure it's not a case of feeding.
I think we can figure out your bitch's problem if you answer the questions.
We'll get your girls looking nice.

Nice looking plant though brother. We'll get this fixed up.

yeah you don't need to water that much just when the soil is dry at least an inch to touch

During the vegetative process in soil I only water right before my plants are dry. It provides more oxygen to the medium in order for the roots to penetrate deeper, faster, stronger. I would say in cups that small you are watering way too much. When my babies are under T5s in small cups like that - my girls need water maybe once every 3-4 days.
Give it 2 days & post new pics - unless the condition gets worse, but I think it's probably an over watering issue.

go to home depot and get schultz 3$ liquid food it's better then nothing and you can also get some more food as you go if you want but that's all i'm using right now

I would definately not feed my plants anything that came from home depot... Marijuana is a much different plant than a household ficus...
Cannabis nutrient companies specifically formulate their products FOR cannabis. If you are looking to go on the cheap there are other
more organic ways that have been tested and approved to provide your cannabis with the nutrients it needs. I would let the plant
dry out - don't water every other day... See how she looks and then move on to nutrient options.

Mary - have you looked @ what is in the Schultz liquid food - or looked @ their feeding schedule?
I definately would not use this on my plants as an overall NPK.
Your plants do not need that much P or K during the vegetative cycle, especially according to their feeding schedule.
Your plants may do fine if you give them this, but we are talking about optimized growing here, not just making
some plant in the back yard grow...

Could be suffocating roots due to pot size or over watering..Also possible nitrogen deficient but its usually accompanied by a bit of yellowing of leaves..Hope i helped

Looks like overwatering to me. Your soil looks wet in the photos. this is fine right after watering, but you shouldn't water again until it is dry. Feel the weight of your cups when their wet, then don't water again until their pretty light. Could also need a little cal-mag. But I would only make one change at a time. My recommendation is to let them dry out and get on a regular watering schedule.

I concur - let the soil dry out for another day or 2 and then re-post picks. If the browning on the leaves continue - I concur you should pick up some cal-mg for your bitches. Post your full nute rundown and ph runoff for us, so we can get a better idea of nutrient deficiency if there are any.
