I really need help on my mana base because I just recently changed my Selesnya Aggro to Junk Aggro and I don't understand the mana base! Please go to my profile and go to Lion Under the Strength of my Mane Man Fleece

Add 4x Temple of Plenty and 4x Temple Garden in place of 5x Forest and 3x Plains and you should be fine.
There's no easy way to fix it for Nighthowler splash though. Either remove him or add more black.

I normally do but it's difficult on an iPhone and I don't wanna wake the family to get my Mac...

Very few people are going to even bother looking at your deck if you make them find it. You should link it instead (i.e. provide an active hyperlink, not just the URL).
Even on an iPhone, you can copy the URL and type out the HTML "a href" tag.

As I said, a URL is a little better, but it isn't as good as a link.

I'm just trying to help you out. Also, angle brackets that aren't part of HTML code do some odd things to your text.

Do you even read comments? What's the point of trying to help you out if...
Never mind.

Kiora_Fan-01, you can easily link to your deck by copy-pasting the last part of the url (called slug) and put it in angle brackets like this:
[ [lion-under-the-strength-of-my-mane-man-fleece] ] (without spaces)
The outcome looks like this: Lion Under the Strength of my Mane Man Fleece
You can also consult the help section for more info. The link is located at the bottom of the page, not exactly where you would expect it.

is the reason why you didn't follow Nigrescence's advice because you're on a budget constraint, don't have them currently, or didn't see his/her comment? if you didn't agree with someone's suggestion, tell them

Well when I asked that question to him it was like what he said then he said that and I seen someone's advice that was better on my deck lists and used that, to answer your question tempest...

oh i see. i understand where you're coming from but its also understandable to have Nigrescence's response because it looked like you flat out ignored his suggestion haha. just a misunderstanding. heads up for future reference though :)

Your mana base and card selection is still really shaky, you're trying to hit double white, green and black all in the space of a few turns. In order to reliably hit a double color between turns 3-4 you need 18-19 sources of that color. You're currently on 10, 11 and 8, which means you're going to color screw yourself a lot.
I would at least start by axing Nighthowler it's stressing the mana for not that much gain and also look at dumping the double green or double white as well - which ever one you feel is less important for the deck. Doing this a smaller black splash might still be possible, though it's going to require giving up speed and still not be as consistent as you'd probably want it to be. And frankly, an inconsistent aggro deck is just a worse midrange deck.
If you're committed to it however you'll be wanting at least 13 sources for T2 Lotleth Troll
. That means more dual lands (shocks, scry and maybe even guildgates) and potentially more lands in general to get you to the numbers you want to be seeing. I'd also look to get more out of your black splash, if you're going to put power over consistency then make it powerful. Thoughtseize
or Abrupt Decay
in the 75 put some heavy punch behind adding another color.

I dont play standard so i might be wrong, but i dont see why you are splashing black. Lotleth Troll and Nighthowler seems like a strategy that are the opposite of the rest of the deck. If black were to be splashed here, it should be for removal. Wouldn't it be better to go for the consistency of a 2 colour deck instead?

Deck link for those lazy among us. It's a good idea for you to provide a deck link yourself, though, if you are asking for help.
