HELP before its too late! Yellowing / drooping

BACKGROUND

I'm using a 1000watt HPS bulb in a 6 foot by 8 foot room (4x4 tray / BLAZER hood)

I have 8 MANGO and 4 OG KUSH plants that I have had under 18/6 light for a little over 2 weeks now, transplanted into 5 gallon smart pots.



The soil i'm using is Vermisoil, with 1TBS of Earth Juice Rainbow Grow mix added per gallon of soil

I put 1TBS of MYKOS at the bottom of my pot where the root cluster will sit before planting



I water every 2-3 days depending on need, start of the week I use an organic nutrient feed by BIOBIZZ (posted in the pictures attached is my feeding schedule) and my mid week water is a compost tea using AACT mix from Vermicrop (vermiLIFE / BRIX/ FEAST)



The water I'm using is RO (double Ultra Violate scrubbed) PH at 6.2 with 1tsp of CAL-MAG per gallon

Temperature is 78-80 during Day and 73-76 during their night time

I have an external exhaust fan as well as a canopy fan blowing at all times (the air is fresh and circulated)



I spray 1 time every 5-7 days with Azamax for bug prevention

I foliar feed 1/4tsp per gal Black Sea kelp / 5ml Ful-Power(humic acid) every 3-5 days



The PROBLEM



Almost Immediately after planting the leaves turned a very bright green and started to turn a yellow color, the new foliage has been very green but as you can tell in the pictures attached, a few have become increasingly yellow with various other colors popping up. (some purple in the veins, brown tips on some but not all plants)



Attached I have pictures of my plants in VEG state as well as my feeding schedule. The last 2 plants are mothers I have in a closet under a T5 florescent, they started to droop this morning after a week of no problems. Thought maybe they needed a little drink to perk up, no such luck.



Any help would be greatly appreciated and if I am missing any information that could help let me know! Thank youIMG_3158.jpgIMG_3159.jpg IMG_3160.jpg IMG_3161.jpg IMG_3162.jpg IMG_3163.jpg IMG_3156.jpg IMG_3157.jpg

something very wrong there. I may not have your solution... but I can offer a remedy for next time. assuming since you have purchased vermisoil that you have access to vermifire, i'd use that soil next time and leave out ALL the rest.
I have personally used vermifire for many harvests and you can go water only if you give them enough room.
Forget all the bottled stuff. all the ph.
the tsp of calmag per gallon is a llil much man...
you are overthinking this all.
I PROMISE you, growing plants in a 5 gallon pot of vermifire witll net you some niiice herb, and you can toss out the other shit. No ph, not nute tea, no nothing.
In smaller pot vermifire won't support vigorous growth all the way through but in a bigger container they will. no doubt.
 
Thanks for the reply, I actually use VermiFIRE on all of my outdoor plants during the summer, I have great results, usually I do not feed for 2-3 weeks after transplanting into my vermiFIRE.

For this grow however, I am indoor and I chose the vermiSOIL because the FIRE can be too hot sometimes and easily burn the plants I have found in the past.

I think 1 of the main problems I might have here is an overwater issue, but I'm not entirely sure. This is the first grow I have used 6 inch Plastic pots before transplanting into 5 gal Smart pots. I may have over watered in the plastic, I'm not sure..
 
man i think you defitnely have a nutrient problem there ,i'm with greasemonkey leave all the other shit out and just water ,how far is your lights from plants .asking because those leaf edge's aren't only burned but they are sharp like needles and that might be to much for those seedlings.does your ballast have an adjustment on it ,if it does i would crank it down .i kind of had the same scenario going on with my plants .the first thing i did was to replant them into smaller pots and turned down my ballast to 50% and stepped it up by the week to full power.after the roots came out the bottom of cup ,i transplanted into 3 gal pot ,i also used some root magic in new hole i put transplant in .they have been happy happy happy .well i hope this will help you it sure worked out for me
 
They look like to much moisture. How tall are they? Maybe jumped the gun on the 5 gallon pot so soon??
 
wayy too many nutes and water there by the looks of things. next time go a few weeks on plain water, you should see when the plant needs some light nutes
 
you're over watering plain and simple let your soil dry all the way up your pot should be really light when you pick it up before watering tone your nutes down a bit and give them some super thrive once you're soil has dried out

your pot size isn't an issue i wouldn't personally put them in 5 gallons at that size i use one gallons til they are 4 to 5 feet tall then i transplant into 10 gallons 2 weeks before switching my lights. but putting them in bigger pots sooner will have the plants more focused on root production than foliar growth and your soil stays wet longer
