I took a look... One thing that comes to mind is air gaps around your root ball from the transplant. Are you certain that you got soil mix packed in firmly around your root ball when you upcanned? This really looks like some plants I've lost over the years to poor transplant technique.

It seems very unlikely that pH or lack of nutes could be a problem in a fresh soil mix. It also doesn't look like any over-nute issues I'm familiar with.

I assume you're dechlorinating your water before use? Other than these things, I can't figure what's going on here..

imo i would guess its nitrogen deficiency... i only say this because you have PLENTY of light for them to be able to be at full growth rate... so if they are using the nutes faster than you are giving them to the plants then that explains the problem... everything seems fine with what your doing... i just suggest giving your plants an extra shot of nitrogen and see if that doesnt help...

also... im using hydro nutes for my soil grow (switching over to ebb and flow but had a few soil plants going.. bout the hydro nutes for the new system, ran out of my other nutes.. what can ya do??).. anyways.. it seems to me that the hydro nutes get absorbed and used faster than other nutes in soil... could just be me tho... i dunno.. maybe you should up the amount you use... i went from 1/4 strength to 3/4 strength bc nutes with my plants because they seem to not be able to get enough... but thats just my scenario... just a suggestion and some additional input..

I have the Hydrofarm Habitat 33. I tried to look up the specs on it and it says plastic bonded... Not sure if it is PVC Plastic that they are speaking of but if it is I will be making a new tent from scratch..

plastic bonded,if im correct that is the same thing,make your own tent out of panda plastic and good luck.dont drag it out for a few 100 it aint worth it trust me,just google offgassing tents you will see your plants look like theirs.but i may be wrong,but i dont think i am.

Mine were doing the same thing. Almost the same pictures as yours with Fox Farms soil as well but my issue was a 5.5pH. After I added lime and flushed them, game molasses and super thrive they came back fine. I am no expert but couldn't help to comment since they were similiar to mine. Ask Old Frog..he is pretty good at diagnosing things.

I just ordered a grow tent from gyosupplies on ebay.com. Product Code: GYO1002. The tent is cheaply made. The instructions were not clear, there are 8 sections of ploe labeled "B" and they are two different sizes, four of them are 6" longer than the other four. The seller claims the tent is non-toxic PVC. Is there such a thing as non-toxic PVC? My plants were looking good with no problems until I put them in the tent. When I put them in the tent I also upped the light from 250w to 400w and put an air-conditioner inside the tent to cool the area. It is now the third day they have been in the tent. Many leaves are curling upward and some are starting to turn brown. Could this be because of the tent?
