so i got my plants under 250W metal halide about 12in away from all of them i got a 9in oscillating fan blowing at them. the temp ranges from around 23-29 with the lights on ..
but the bottom fan leaves on all my plants are droppy and yellow some have brown crispy spots on them ?

the soil is 50/50 perlite/soil for acid plants like . 'azeuleas':? ?

last week was pritty hot so might have been heat stress?
i just repoted them into bigger pots as the were pritty much rootbound.
ive been watering them with tap water left out for 24hs..
but i just recived my ph down so now being watered at the correct Ph..
i cant figure out why they look so bad. not looking healthy at all ..
any body know what im doing wrong? need help

Looks like over watering to me. Let them dry out good between waterings, you should NOT be watering daily.

Loose the Tap water and use Distilled water.

And, as per Someguy15, over watered for sure.. No need for daily watering

Good luck!

i got told it was nute burn ... and to flush them so i just did :/ bet that wasn't helpful.. ill just wait a good few days before watering again... will the yellow leaves get better or shall i let them drop off or cut them off ..

You flushed with tap water that sat out overnight? You can let it sit out for a week and chances are, you'll still have this problem. ( it's understood that you adjusted it....)

my plants looked 100% like that when originally grown; via tap water that I had sit out for 2 days (Thinking it would be ok....)....

A gallon of distilled water will cost you less then $.99, pick up a gallon, use it to flush in a day or so (Not a full *pour till it seeps out the bottom* flush), but a good watering with distilled water will help.

Once stabilized, you can move forward. Get the temps under control, continue to slowly (or slower then you were) reintroduce feeding.. You'll be good!

Good luck!

Dont waster your time and start over. By the time these girls get better you could have been focusing on some healthy ones.

Daily watering? I did that last year dude..didn't fully learn till the end of my grow about watering. The roots need to breath every once in a while ;-)
Also, where did the landscaping rocks come from? Hope they were boiled or at least cleaned REAL well before you tossed them in your potters.

Yeah man just go to a pet store and get some chlorine removing tabs or buy a brita water filter. It will help. It's not perfect and it's not distilled but it will remove a lot of the shit in the water then you'll need to ph the water up or down. It looks like over watering mixed with a ph problem. I hope this helps. just my opinion. good luck

okay for starters tape water isnt the best but its fine and wont kill your plants , your problem there is absolutely overwatering with abit of nute burn. im guessing u have controlled realese fertilizer in soil?=little yellow balls.or u were dumb enuff to water with nutes.
