So this is my second grow, my first grow someone turned out beautiful with two plants that were a claw of tops, with my lights the yield was bad but one was super dank but now my second grow. I have 6 baby’s started, they’re dispensary bag seeds. Lavender jones, aaa og and two I didn’t label. I’m in a 4x2 tent with a carbon filter one tower fan and 2 Amazon lights. Amico 600w and phlizon 1200w. But I do have a spider farmer 2000 coming in. Right now they are in 3 gal pots with ffof, while they were in I’d say 1/2 gal pots I fed them early and burned them. I gave them all a good flush and 5 days later I transplanted. They have all been topped as well. I see multiple issues other than the burn. New growth slightly yellow, one new leaf has a burned tip well after the flush. Lower growth single finger blades yellow, one plant it pointing straight up others are droopy and anything else you can see. Sorry that the pictures aren’t the best but any help is appreciated.

They are just really stressed out plants it looks to me. Burned, transplanted and topped in quick succession. Personally I'd leave em alone for a couple weeks and just Use plain, pH adjusted water until I saw an improvement.
I've had plants do similar and after a few weeks stadry growing normally again. Let them recover. Also bagseed is never a great place to start, totally flying blind and could all be hermie. That said, could be some gold in there

Thank you so much I’ll do exactly that and see what happens. Growth is slowly speeding up as well with the new tops coming in.

Posting new pictures if anyone can help me. I’ve been feeding only water ph’d to 6.4 and 6.5. The new shoots from topping are now going rarely well but the new growth looks glossy slighting twisted I even see a new leaf with the tip missing. Please check these pics and help a new grower.

They are still in recovery, its only been a few days. They are looking better. Have patience, it's going to take at least two weeks for them to settle down again, I'd have thought.
They've had a hard start to life, give them time

Okay lol wasn’t sure if that was a new issue or if the blistering was light burn or something or my ph was off. I forgot to mention I’m putting in 6.5 but one run off was as high as 7.1. Run off ppms with plain water is about 850. Water ppm is the 150ish

Switch to plain water, no PH adjustment (adding to much salt)
You don't need to feed In soil for a week or two when you first go in.
Like I said, give them a couple of weeks on plain water and you should see an improvement

Oh really I thought the ph had to be adjusted unless it’s the dry amendment. Sorry I’ve been trying to learn so much in a small amount of time, I don’t mean to question you just to better understand

What PH is your tap water?
If it's not to far out then there is no point as you're just adding salt (salt from the pH corrector)
No need to apologise, we all start somewhere. I'm more than happy to help.
I usually don't feed for the first two weeks in soil, unless I see it calling out for nitrogen, which it shouldn't in fresh soil. I'd just use a root booster to promote root spread.

Remember with soil, less is more. Look at what the plant is asking for, rather than reading the bottle. You can always do better on the next run and that is what growing is all about, getting better each time.

I've been growing on and off for years and I've made some really stupid mistakes over the years.

Most recently cooked a batch of seeds, a lot to never be found again. Broke my heart it did

I’m going to check it plain but I believe it’s around 7 so I should be good. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate your time, I don’t personally know any one who’s at all educated and how helpful this forum has been for me since I discovered it the other day has really calmed my nerves lol.

No problem, very happy to help.
One day you'll be helping others too, it's the great thing about this community.
7 is fine, always check water PH plain before adding any adjusters (I check every single time, just to be safe, if you have a pen it takes seconds)

As you get used to Growing, you naturally get better and more confident.

No I have not. I literally just ran out of my drops to ph test when this pen came in. And didn’t realize to calibrate I needed 0ppm water and a 250ml container lol but when it first came in a week or two ago I used to last of my drops to check the reading of the same water with the pen and it was really close I can’t tell with the colors down to the tenth if it was correct or not.

Very glad to hear it, give them a good few days to recover fully and then start feeding again. Start light on the nutrients and build up. You can always add but you can't take away
Good luck with the rest. Please post some pictures up along the way, I'd love to see how they turn out
