Whats up everyone i am new to the RIU community and i just have a few questions. I currently have about 9 plants in the ground and growing. the bottom leaves are turning yellow and the leaves on the plants are starting to droop down. i read up some stuff on the internet and asked one of my buddies what to do he said to put used ground coffee on the base of the plant and water like normal. so i did it has been a day since and the plants look a little better. i think it is a Nitrogen deficiency. Here they are tell me what you think it is. on one of the plants the tips of the leaves are turning brown and look to be dying. and will you all tell me what you think of my plants overall.

yea they arent that old being this is my first grow i just kinda threw them into small containers to get them going then moved them into the ground. the soil doesnt hold water very well anymore. when we first put them in the soil would hold the water for a while we would only have to water them once a day, now they are dryin up pretty quick. its hard to get back there because i have to be sneaky so my mom doesnt find out ..

If you want to save these, dig them out, dig a 3 foot hole, fill with anything but that dirt. Use cheap wal-mart soil if you have to but something that can hold water, re-pot into the ground and viola. They are screaming water me again.
A drought plant is susceptible to disease wilting and pests much more so than a plant that is in the same conditions but has water.

When you dig them out, make sure to dig extra wide and deep around them, then LIGHTLY shake out the LOOSE soil from around the main root ball. Some would say to give the roots a good trim but I've never done that part, too scared to do it wrong.
