Ok so I'm pretty new to the whole growing thing, I have two female plants growing right now one of which is doing pretty well. But the other plant has began to wilt and the bottom leaves are turning yellow, with some brown on the edges and they appear to be dying. I have attached two pictures of the plants, but I'm not too sure if they will work this is the first time I've tried posting pictures ha.

I'd say that's N deficiency beginning. Feed w/balanced fert.
Also, I see a few white spots and would check for undersides for mites.
Looks like you've a lot of empty space in that planter.

Micro Nut Deficiency. You definately need to pick up some Botanicare Cal-Mag. It includes N, Mg, Cal, and Iron and has an NPK value of 2-0-0. Alot of times fertilizer's lack trace elements and they must be subsituted additionally.

may want to put a little more time between watering. let the plants work for every bit of water. Strengthens roots and adds vigor to the plant.

Thanks for the replies guys I have been using miracle grow but I think that it's time to use something a little better ha. I'm gonna pick up some new nutes within the next couple days.
And possibly add more soil like Mrfishy suggested.

How green do you think it should be?
I don't see any signs of a nitrogen deficiency,
looks more like overwatering and needs repotting, the soil looks very wet too, so add some perlite at 30% to the new soil.

Ok guys I'm not totally convinced that I am having a nitrogen defiency since the leaves are now wilting worse than ever and turning brown in some areas. here is an updated picture if anyone has any advice it would greatly be appreciated.
