What are u feeding, how often, how much, what medium (coco, soil, etc), rh, temps, lights?
The first two pics with the purple light are in a different soil then in the picture below and have been started Bioicare Nutrients (base) schedule

The other set of pictures are referenced below...
Attached a picture of the soil, mixed up all these added lots of peralite
Top fed the soil about a week ago with some Gaia Green Organics
Been fed straight water pH 6.6 and a few waters of Mexican bat qauno tea (1 tbsp/gallon)
Have a SF 2000 temp is stable around 71-76
Humidity is set at 65%
Lights about 30 inches away

Still not % sure what my issue is, going to let them just sit for a while then water with RO water and test the run off's pH and PPMs and see where my soil is sitting, unless I go buy a soil tester before that....they seem somewhat happy but are struggling with something obviously

looks like magnesium. damaged leafs will not get better but it should stop spreding after your feeding.if i may recommend allsoo not letting your ph soo high

Welp - i am going to give you my 2 ¢ .

It’s your mish mash of soils. Its like frying a steak with 3 different oils.
That promix alone has controlled release fertilizer ( i will come back to this in a minute ) PLUS you threw in Bagged Compost and Top Soil ( topsoil is not enriched or amended at all, which limits its use as a growing medium. )

The Promix is a RTU ( ready to use medium ) alone.
However most growers try not to use “ controlled release fertilizer “ mediums since feeding is not grower controlled. But this one will wirk with dry fertilizer supplements as plant feeds only what it wants.

Next time - Promix and a basic dry fertilizer like a General Purpose 4-4-4 or 5-5-5 type / Mega crop / Roots Organic Terp Tea Grow / Dr. Earth and a bunch of others would have been sufficient. A tablespoon or so as needed during grow stages ( scratch in to soil / water in ) would have been enough.

I’m thinking that because so many ingredients went into the pot - it unbalanced something. That is what makes it difficult. That Top soil ALSO has timed release fertilizer ( 14-14-14 ) PLUS you in threw Bat Guano tea.

Then we get to the “ Compost PLUS manure “ that is also another nitrogen source.

So we have all 3 bags PLUS tea drench with excess nitrogen potential - and 2 of the bags with control release fertilizer .

Then the Gaia Green to boot.

So what do you suggest I do besides just give it plain water with as low PPMs as I can
