    It may be that the lower leaves are not getting enough light to function properly now the plant is taller, so the leaves are unhealthy and dying back.
    The new top growth looks OK, so I don't think it's nutrients.
    What sort of light are you using?

    yes i think,that maybe are the lights.i use one led light low in watts.but this is how it looks low leafs if they aren't taking enough light? they are dying like this ?

    With a small low wattage LED lamp I don't think you have much chance of success I'm afraid. There is not enough light.
    It will need many lamps when it gets 3m long!

    If you only have 1 lamp, why not try growing a chili or some lettuce?
