idk what the hell is going on in my grow room but its not good.
Seems like as soon as i upsized my growroom, all has been going to shit. I got about 20 plants from bagseed that all look like shit, i have about 20 autos' half look like shit, have 4 babies that look like shit.
i just dont know. on all my smaller grow, i never had any issues like i am now.
the babies just arent growing, the autous are doing kinda what the babies are doing, not growing, but starting to flower, so there fucked. the 20 plants i got from bagseed are all light green/yellow and not growing anymore for the past 2 weeks atleast. and then my seeds got intercepted i found out this morning.
I just dont know what to do. idk what im doing wrong.

The only thing i can think why the babies arent doing good is i just bought a new t5 setup that holds 8 t5s. maybe its jsut too bright? i have been keeping pretty close. Another thing i noticed i havent been doing is spraying/misting the babies. Is that crucial when there so young? are they just drying up on me?
im just feeling overwhelmed and lost.

Looking at the pics, I think you're right about the light issues and sounds like your major change in the new room. Don't know much about running those T5's (or at least that many) but looking at your plants, the lower growth/leaves looks like light bleaching/burn/stress, new growth looks better though.

Take some time to chill, jot down all the changes and start adjustments like your lighting one at a time. They look somewhat rough but new growth looks good, I don't see any problem recovering them. Good luck.

Well, here's a guess because you really didn't give much info on your feeding. It looks like your issue is occurring in the middle of the plant? If so, this is often a zinc lockout. Your nutrient ph would have to be off the charts high or you'd have to be using too much Phosphorous. I don't think it is your lights.

Maybe post some info on your soil and feeding history.

Using all black gold. The oldest plants in there i believe are around two months. I havent added any nutes to any of them yet because the problem i think started when the bagseeds were 2-3 weeks old. They began to turn light green and growing very slow since.
In the back of my mind i was thinking it could be a ph issue. I have always used one squirt of ph down from a 32 oz spray bottle for a 2 gal pitcher, and its always been about right... maybe thats the issue

i transplanted them from 16 oz cups to two gal pots and the soil was pretty much soaked. and ive flushed them twice in the past two weeks. so the soil for the most part has been drenched there whole lives.

and im guessing from there size, and rate there growing, the soil is going to be moist for a long time. there is actually 2 or 3 out of the whole bunch that is doing just ok i guess, and i have to water them about every 4 or 5 days.

ok to cut things short your plants look like they have almost every deficency either the ph is way out of wack or if like you said you never feed them any nutrients .when ph is the problem most of the time it wont lockout all nutrients so you have a abundance in nitrogen youre plants will be dark green as shit but youre leaves will curl have spot etc yours are light green i feed em you flushed that soil that already didnt have nutrients so that might be the problem i give em a light feeding and make sure the ph is right and wait a day or two and see if it gets better

i cannot stress to make sure the ph of your nutes if right or it will likely throw youre soil off be cus you havent really got any buffers in soil to hold a ph bcuz you flushed and never feed

I'm betting it's a PH issue, especially if you did not measure the PH after you made your solution...

lol god im a moron sometimes..... i wonder if theres any ph testers yall would recommend i buy online instead of the grow shop? im thinking they will be more expensive, but then again if i have any issues or questions about it i could just take it up there.
