Ok. I’ll purchase CalMag and another grow light and see if that makes a difference. They’re growing wayyyy too slow.
Plants not looking to well... Help!!

Just move the one you got way closer like 24 inches. I'll give you a better idea how high to put it if I knew the model number and the actual wattage mine are like real close to the lights if 24 inches seem to far inch it closer, your plants will tell u if it's to close.

Your going to have to bunch em in to a tight area and put that light as close as you can with both veg and Bloom switch on. Use that for both flower and veg

Stop using Crappy Frog....it's like topsoil nowadays - terrible - idk what happened with it but it holds way too much water now and those look overwatered for sure
don't worry about cal-mag in RO water....least of your concerns right now and i've used RO on plants in veg with zero cal-mag added for years
it's your crappy soil

I’m using Phlizon 600W LED. And I’ll move the lights back down.

I am not familiar to FF products but this soil looks really bad to me...

What's your budget for a new light? The Mars hydro is okay but if you can afford something better I'd skip it. Good LEDs aren't cheap but worth the investment. Personally I prefer HID anyways unless your really gonna splurge on some ballin lights.
RO water is a waste of time in soil IMO. tap is fine. pHing your water is only really required if your mixing strong nutrient solutions that will acidify the soil, otherwise Happy Frog contains elements that will self buffer your pH. Never hurts though.
For whatever reason some plants do need CalMag under LEDs whether your using RO or not so it doesn't hurt to have on hand. Your plants don't have an apparent deficiency though so it's no rush.
Also, be prepared to get 40 different opinions here. Take all of them, mine included, with a grain of salt. Do some research and make informed decisions. www.growweedeasy.com is a great place to start.

Some growers may not agree but for a 4x4 I'd go no less than a 1000 watts regardless of what your using HID or LED. It's all about "true watts" more power more bud. Screw in a grow light or set up a single or dual led chip with a cooler(aliexpress) and shine it on a bud spot you grow a nice bud. They are like 40 bones for a dual set up shipped you can even easily change the leds for veg an flower. The more you have the more bud you will grow. To a point I'm well over a 1000 true watts (led) and the plants are begging for more.

Ok Ill spread them out. Because I have those little ones in the middle that will stretch if I place them on the floor of the tent. They are sitting on a box so that they are closer to the lights. I wasn’t sure if the seedlings would suffer from light burn if I lowered if some.

I think I burned them when I applied Nutes. I haven’t had any bug problems. I’ve even locked with a little magnifying glass to be sure.

That lights probably not gonna burn it you will know if it's too close ill measure mine up. I transplanted 3 times cuz I didn't have enough light at start. I didn't put mine in five gallon buckets until 2 weeks and they were in styrofoam so I wouldn't have to light up soil (unused space) this is what they looked like then back on may 4

I have noticed it holds water longer. But they’re definitely not overwatered. Today makes a week since they were last watered. The pots also have good drainage as well. I read reviews on this soil and unfortunately I’ve seen mixed reviews. Once I use all of it, I’ll try a different soil.
