from the start i been using 6.8 i changed it to 6.4 the last watering seem to improve a little bit also a lil darker green..i set the ph to 6.4 watered and tested the water that ran threw the soil and it was in the high 7's thats why i think it is high ph causing this but i figured i get your guys opinions before i do anything...

You have a moisture/nute problem. A flush may only add to the problem. I would suggest re-potting with PH balanced medium, water lightly, and hold off on the nutes for a few days to a week and see how they respond. From there 1/4 to 1/2 strenght nutes until your back to normal and then be consistent with your feeding regiment. What nutes are you using?

i think you started the nutes too early, id have only just started adding weak doses around the stage your at now. a re-pot would be a sensible thing to do i reckon

thanks guys im using mexican bat guano i just started using it the last 2 waterings i water every 2 days soil usually seems pretty dry my humidity is 40-50% as for the advanced nutes i thought u could use from the begging becasuse it helps develop a nice root system it dont show npk ratio the bat guano is 10-2-1 im only usuing a teaspoon and half for a gal of water i thought that would be 1/4 or 1/2 or a good start maybe im wrong i dont really think that it is over nute cause they really havent been fed much unless its the advanced causing this i cant get my hands on foxfarm or good soil only what walmart carrys i cant find a shop that carrys anything like foxfarm maybe you guys would know some places?? i really thought that the plants wernt getting enough npk form high ph or something because they seem to yellow anywhere on the bottom and some leaves curl other die n turn cripsy it sucks not knowing for sure whats causing this:/ the soil read .05-.05-.05 and i didnt notice anything stating the ph or anything about ph i asked a lady at agway about getting a soil with a lower ph she said i would have to use lime

at the moment i just started using a fan and am kinda of lost on how long to run it for even on the lowest speed its kind of a high breeze so i figured i wouldnt stress them too much and run it for an hr im also on a 24hr lighting schedule
