Up potted from 1 gal to 7 gal last weekend

1 gal Medium: fox farm ocean forest with extra perlite and insect frass

7 gal Medium: Just Natural Mushroom Compost from Lowe’s and Organic Rice Hulls and some fresh EWC from my red wiggler

Added Dry Amendments: Coast of Maine Stinington 5-2-4 Plant Food, Down to Earth Kelp Meal, DTE Green Sand, DTE Dolomite Lime, DTE Rose & Flower 4-8-4

Water: RO filtered tap, PHs are 8.5 but haven’t checked for a while.

I thoroughly sprayed Doctor Zymes at a 4oz to 1 gallon water concentration 3 days in a row earlier this week as a preventative measure. No signs of fungus gnats
but saw a white colored leafhopper

Plants are about 2 months from seed. Still in veg with 18/6 lighting schedule

light is a kingbrite 260w Qb dimmed to ~120w

bottom fan leaves are rapidly dying off without turning yellow. Some brown/bronze patches. Most leaves are dark green but starting to show some lighter patches.
3 out of 4 plants show these symptoms



any ideas?

Possibly root rot. 1 gal to 7 is a pretty big jump, especially if you soaked the whole 7.
Your soil mix sounds like itd be pretty dense too and compact easy;limiting oxygen.
