The second picture looks like Phos. deficiency with probably low nitrogen level too. If it is cold Phos. deficiency will appear even if you are not deficient in your soil.

"water it once per week and get the plant some nutrients!"

No! I water every day here especially in warmer weather. As I grow in small pots I have a couple in my perpetual grow that get 16 oz. in the AM and another 8-10 oz. in the PM. The warm weather, along with 2 circulating fans, sucks the moisture right out of the atmosphere.

Take a long skinny stick, I use a 12 inch bamboo skewer, and jam it down to the bottom of the dirt. Dirt in pots dries out from the top down so look at the skewer to see at what level the moisture is. Dirt will adhere to the skewer where it is still moist. Add water when the pot is 2/3 dry.

After a while you will develop a feel for when a pot is empty. Then you can gauge wetness by simply tipping the pot towards yourself a couple inches. You can start to develop that ability if you start tipping when the pot has just been watered. That should tell you what a full pot feels like. Then tip again every day as the pot dries out. Won't take long to become a pro if you use the same size pots all the time.

Good luck, BigSteve.

Avoid trying to fix problems you (nor anyone else) are not sure of. Don't start throwing shit on it hoping something sticks.

If it were mine I would let it dry out really well, even to the point of wilting. Wilting is not a bad thing, they will suck up everything at that point. Your soil looks really dark and wet but maybe you just watered.

Let the thing go a few days,where the leaves might even begin to droop, then soak it with 1/4 - 1/2 concentration of ferts.

Actually looks a bit N starved, which is easy to overcome.

Let it dry, dry and dry some more. Let the soil get bone dry before you water.

Id say got grab some Happy Frog and Ocean Forrest soil and transplant it into better medium mix half and half you wont have to give nutes for 3 weeks to a month. Then when it comes time for nutes start out just giving alil at a time see how it works and adjust as needed. Honestly though if you want that thing to grow to its best potential you gotta put it in better soil j.s...

You could use HF or OF you dont have to mix but if you get Ocean Forrest you dont need nutes for a few weeks. The soil makes all the diffrence what you put in is what you get out.

You could also try checking your ph of your water and adjusting accordingly and or go to the closest garden store and pick up some stuff called diamond nector natural humic acid and mix it with your nutes next time you feed and it will help fix the defiency. But overall go buy some better soil and transplant preferably the ones I mentioned..
