Help: Rockwool cubes > 1 Gallon pots with Miracle grow and no PH'ing

First things first, I am not broke I am just stupid. If I need to buy something, or start over, please lay it on me.

I purchased some clones from my collective and I put them into 1 gallon dirt planters a little more than half full of Miracle Grow Potting Soil. I used 'Not PH Balanced" water from my fridge filter and slowly drenched them. Many of the plants are vibrant, especially my OG Kush strain. But my Kush dream fell over and is now in the process of standing back up. All of the plants leaves will droop if I put the light too close but now a couple plants have curled down leaf ends. Most plants are drinking but for example the Kush Dream is not.

Temp: 75F Day 58F Night
Watered: 1 time in just over a week.. "OG Kush is almost dry now"
Nutrients: None
Lights: T5 HO 4 bulbs, all are on.. "About 8 inches to 1 foot away"
Notes: I have an Oakton PH2 meter with all the solutions now.. But plants are too wet still

What is the npk of the miricke grow....I suspect yours from what I've read are poss water logged (drowning) so really let them dry out..

Also if you can stop changing things e.g the light distance etc as this will make it harder to isolate the problem....

Piks are needed

Update: Lights ON this morning just happened. They all seem to be drinking water now.

Ok from what I gather on my own MG is time release nutes i.e. more water = more nutes released. So I need to water lightly then wait til they are completely dry then repeat, only drenching when they need food... Should I poke a stick into the planters which are post 1 week and still heavy with water? Maybe 1 hole on each 4 sides of my rockwool cube?

P.S. For future veg and flower I will move to organic soil grow I found here on RIU and use this MG soil for house plants.. RIU rocks

Get MG's Nature's Care Organic line. I think I might stick with it myself.

I don't really think that's necessary. This forum exists just for the reason you're using it. So, do as you will, but I'm sure you're welcome to stay or return as you please.

Definitely somewhat paranoia-inducing.
Yeah, I was thinking he may have just been paranoid. Lol he might just had blazed up.. :bigjoint:haha after the paranoia wares off maybe he will return.... :clap: in that case, I'm getting ready to start my own thread here in a few days. Still building my closet (almost framed ) still waiting on my bean order to arrive. I've been thinking about crossing one of my strains Dr.Grinspoon x a Doggies nuts G13 haze. Should be quite interesting I would say. :hump:

Potential new name - Dr Hazey Grinnuts has a dog. Seems like that would be very popular. bongsmilie

EDIT: Option 2 on the new strain - Several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a pict.

No doubt (: yeah I've had the G13 for a few years now. Had to pay dearly for it though. Traded dude 6 strains plus some nute lines for it. Lol was worth it though 4 sure.. now with the Dr Grin man o man that strain is weird as shit!! The buds actually resemble cotton balls.. lol doesn't produce much, however what she does is definitely top sheilf.
