I'm thinking your SS wasnt cooked right.... You PH-ing it senseless and adding cal mag thats not kosher for organics isnt gonna help the situation...
The plants should have taken off by now in a big way...
If your hesitant to change the way things are going... Brotha... do it your way... I have no quams about letting someone waste their time and continue to do things wrong.... I was only trying to help as others have helped me...
If your SS wasnt cooked properly or long enough, you'll see lock out symptoms, PH problems etc... like you are...because the raw amendments that havent been composted enough are burning the shit out of your roots.. Compost teas are going to accelerate the decomposition of the organic matter in your soil making it usable to the plants sooner as well as giving them a little of the immediately available nutrition that they'll get with the tea keeping them growing decent rather stuck on slow mo.... I only know that because I did it myself..
When you PH your water... Do you add PH down (or whatever) and then see its gone to far one way then add PH up to correct it? If so your poisoning your plants with a cocktail of shit they dont even need to begin with... RO water is as clean as it gets and theres absolutely no reason to PH it...ever... Its absolutely foolish, seriously..
Dont listen to me, but stop listening to anyone else as well because their fucking you shit up dude...... Go do some research and figure it for yourself but you're gonna come to the conclusion that somethings not right.. I can assure those arent burns from the light... I have 4 plants less than 12-14" away from a bare 1000 watt HPS bulb on 1 side and another 4 plants next to a 1000 MH bulb right next to that, neither are dim-able, and my babies arent burning... They're reaching for it like 2 hands praying... Your turning the light up and the plant is getting hungrier, you turn it down, they dont need to eat as much...
I wish you luck, I highly suggest you do some reading about organics yourself beyond this forum... Not every post is guaranteed to be the true by anyone, theres no truth police here so do some research and figure it out but I can understand not wanting to hear it from me but its gonna be a disappointing grow if you dont figure it out... God knows I've had my share of them... I'd suggest not flipping those plants into 12/12 if you havent already until you do figure out whats going on...
