Leaves are curling

Hey guys thanks for your interest in this thread. The first pic is a pic i took yesterday to show that it had become root bound for a while. I transplanted it into a large (probably 5 gallon) black pot as the next pic shows. this plant is actually 1 month old.

Its growing slowly (i admit i fucked up early on by overwatering it) but the reason for this post is because the leaves are seriously drooping down and I just cut the first couple of fan leaves that grew because they were completely yellow. Also, if you look closely towards the top, you can see that the newer leaves are REALLY thin. can someone tell me what this means? I don't think im overwatering. what am I doing wrong?

The last pic is of a plant just a few days younger than the other one but looks like its only 4 days old. wtf? do you think its not growing bc the container i have it growing in is too small?

also gimme some feedback on my closet grow setup if you would.

thx all

actually i just copied/pasted the text and pics from my last thread bc nobody replied to it for days. its been a few days now and its still the same as before. The reason I transplanted it was bc of the curling. its been like this for weeks before i transplanted.

thx

just give her ph'ed water a see if se pulls out of it. what are you running for light. whats your room temp.

wachu mean ph'd water? i can try giving her some purified water i got laying around. i got 2 5500k CFLs, 2 2700k CFLs, and a 14W flourescent. i would say temp is in 80's or low 90's at its warmest and around low 70's usually during the day.

i cant afford a ph meter yet im on a low budget for this first grow. can you tell me how i can keep within the ph range without testing?

I appreciate the help.

sorry you need to go get a ph reader kit there only 5 bucks if u can get the same one as i got its a little kit that come with a clear vile and some droplets that has a colour reader on the back so all u do is take the drainage water from ur plant put half full in the vile add 3-4 drops of the ph reader shake and mach the colour of your reaction to the back of the droplet bottle i think 6.5 is ussually good and that is like a yellowish colour..its not hard and it take seconds to do and very cheap and worth it to you must get a ph reader to tell whats up with ur ugly plants dude. mine arnt that much better but they are coming back now that i got a 400w hps and some advance nutrients.

yea i came across those kind of ph test strips but the color that shows up seems pretty objective due to the person testing it who will always have to kind of eye it to know where the ph stands. like can you tell the difference between 6.3 and 6.5 with those? and would walmart have them? if you can, please give me a link to the product (even if its on amazon) just so i can see for myself if we are talking about the same exact thing. and which advance nut prods. r u using? i would guess big bud is one of them.

thanks

no u cant get the ph tester at walmart i got it at a little pipe and bong shop were i get all my suplies and it doesnt have strips its just a little plastic vile and droplets.
