Few problems

Hello, I'm new here and this is my first grow. First these plants started life before I found this helpful site and lived 3 weeks either outside or under condesent light. I purched a 2ft. 2 bulb T5 about a week ago and have 2 23watt CFL's. There first waterings were with water with very high ph, causing me to belive they had neutrient lock up. I purchased some ph down the same time as the lights. I also flushed the soil w/ Clearex at this time(maybe bad idea). I do have some Fox Farm Big Grow though.

Pic 1 & 2. The best plant, it's droopy, the bottom set of single leaves started turning yellow, this turned into the tips almost being white. The very bottom set of leaves, the tiny ones are pretty much dead and brown.



Pic 3. This plant believe it or not started life at the same time as pic's 1 & 2. I have 6 other plants that are pretty much the same as this one, again very bottom leaves dead, center and tips of bottom single leaves turning yellow and then into brown.


Is there any help for these plants?

Another question is they are in rather large pots, at least for their size. I've been told to water with alot of water, enough for water to come out the bottom of the pots. Problem with this is they are still moist under the top layer, about middle knuckle deep after 8 days, should I water less when the soil dries a little more. I laso aerated the soil thats away from the plant last night as it was clumpy. Thanks for any help

well its time to add some fertilizer. get some wind on them, and watering to the fullest is more about hitting all of the roots, given how big they currently are, no need to drown them, just make sure the dirt stays moist.

Thanks for the reply. Should I let the soil dry a little more or just get some neutrients in them right away. I have a ppm meter, it should be about 100-250ppm, correct?
