Hello all who read this,
This is my first grow and am looking for some input and help. I germinated 3 seeds to start, using the old wet paper towel and dark place to start because Ive read its easiest way to get started. If i am wrong, my apologies. 2 out of my 3 seeds sprouted and have now been planted outdoors in the backyard garden since the beginning of July. So my girls are about a month old. I completely forgot about adding any fertilizer or amendment to the soil, and have only used the water outta my hose to keep the garden watered. I am sorry if this part makes you cringe, you may smack me if need be. I am now having some brown dead areas on the first set of round leaves at the base of one plant, and have no clue what this could be caused from. The girl gets a little more than 14 hours of sunlight from the east to the west in 80 degree weather and she has a cool breeze all day. I was hoping someone could help let me know if the leaf death is normal on those lower leaves, or, is this something I need to address ASAP. Lastly, I noticed my girl has a slight wiggle/bend in the main stem/shaft. How can I get this girl to stand up straight? Thank you to anyone who could help me thru this early phase of growing. I have included pictures that I hope will give you as much of the plant you need to see, I inspected the leaves and dried dirt on the backside of the leaves is from watering I believe that is what is seen thru the shadows. The pictures were taken this morning and I had not watered yet, the girls have been watered now and I try not to keep the soil wet over night to hopefully prevent rot or pests.
