Need Help!

First off thanks for any help you may be able to offer.
I’m a first time grower and don’t know a great deal about things quite yet but I have two plants which I have grown from seed (random bag seeds I collected). Plants have been growing for about 6 weeks and just the other day the one started to turn yellow at the bottom. They started to yellow from the tip inward and the bottom two have already wilted and died off. I am growing in 1gal air pots with a promix organic soil with 30-35% perlite mix. I have been watering every 3-4 days with feedings of general hydroponics flora series every second watering. On every watering I also add some calmag. Water ph is always between 6.1 and 6.4. Growing with a 600W LED. When the yellowing originally started I diagnosed it as N deficient and just went from 1/2 manufacturers dosage to the full dose indicated. This did not appear to help at all. By the time it was ready for the next feeding the plant was getting very droopy so two days ago I gave it a watering with just calmag, full does recommended on the bottle at a ph of 6.2. Plant perked up nicely for 24 hours but is back to very droopy today. Worth noting that the tips of the yellowed leafs are burnt? The one plant with the yellowing has always been a much lighter green with larger leaves and I simply chalked it up that the strain must be different. Am I over feeding or what is going on? Thanks.

All leds sold for growing will grow plants but its a matter of how well they will grow. What about cob's, qb's or top notch led strips?

Nevermind now you're getting clearer.

Op,

Is that a cob surrounded by blurples?

Yeah I think so. I’m super new to this. Have read just enough to be dangerous haha. Pictures of light above. That’s all I have on the light.
 
Just looked it up.

It is a cob and has ir as well.

The problem is it states the true watts pulled is only 100 which is very low.

Do me a favor, download a light meter for your cell and then open it and hold your phone at the top of the plant screen up and tell me the lumen number you get.
 
I did 5ml per gallon of each of the three flora series and an additional 4ml of calmag
thats perfectly fine your food is good

small tweak
id lower the calmag to 2mls per gallon and add 1/4 tsp per 2 gallon epsom salt (0.5 grams per gallon)

and water less frequently

youd be suprised how dry and can let that soil get before watering again...especially in those deep pots

or you could just top dress 1/4 tsp epsom one time per week or two and continue as you are

Might have to revise my last response ..........

Airpots are kinda hard to overwater .... since it will runoff. But it’s your frequency of watering.

Led grows dry a bit slower due to less transpire than hps . So you water less often.

You are probably “ leaching “ the soil with so much watering .

Ok sounds good. Ive tried to not overwater as that seems to be a consistent thread for newbs. On the 3rd day the pots are very light and one time I left it to 4 days and the plant was looking especially droopy and the pot felt really light and soil felt like desert in the top few inches. I watered and it peeled back up so have only been letting it get to three days. How long do you think it should be between waterings? Also for the two plants I only use 1 gallon total (1/2 each) and get 15 to 20% runoff. Does that seem right? I water very slowly to try and make sure the water soaked through to the bottom. Watch to make sure no water comes out the sides of pot.
 
500 is absolutely NOTHING!! You need 10,000 at the least for that plant and preferably more. Move that bad boy as close as you can and still get the spread you need and get back to us.

Hahaha ok sounds good. How about the light mode. Obviously run all lights, veg and bloom to get the full wattage? I also have some 5000K 100W bulbs I can hang inside the tent too. Should I throw them in there on each side of the big LED? Sure appreciate all the help from everyone.
