First Grow - Many Problems

Idk if I made this clear, but I got these like this. In a more worse shape I'd say. My first thought was to throw them out as well, but really I have a week before my seeds come in where I can start fresh from scratch. Not only is this good practice, but I do not wish to give up on them so easily.

I do plenty of reading, and continue to read hours a day, but reading only gets you so far in an all out war situation like this. I didn't think it'd hurt getting some suggestions.

I will give transplanting a try (foxfarm ocean soil) and see if they improve. I don't know what soil was used. My first instinct was to transplant, but I feared plants were too weak for it, so I decided to veg them for a while.

I use regular bottle water for the watering, a bit acidic so I adjusted it to 6.5 pH before watering.

So some of these are basically irreversible damage? I thought the coloring goes back green when fixed?

After 12 hours when I checked on them, some of the pots were still wet as if I watered them an hour ago, is this normal?

The reason for 20/4 is because I read that 18/6 sometimes triggers pre-flowering, just want to avoid it and be in full control.

Thanks for the help suggestions guys.

I'm not picking on you..your questions in your first post on here is an indicator that you hadn't been reading much ..if so it was the wrong info.. only thing I can suggest at this point is to wait and see if they improve by implementing the knowledge you've read or by doing the above suggestions...
sick or dying plants are not the best for learning from as a noob.. seeing you have no clue what they're planted in or how they were cared for.. makes it tough for people to help you ...
go ahead and transplant if you want .. take clones if you want.. seeing your wanting to learn from these.. take one out of the pot and carefully remove the dirt in the rootball and transplant that one .. take another one and just replant the whole thing.. of these you should be able to tell if the soil they are in is the problem..
look at your healthiest looking plants and try cloning one or two tops.. if nothing else just for practice..

far as telling you what plants are which will be very difficult .. you would need healthy plants just to determine which is sativa or indica or both favoring indica or sativa.. and then from there, one maybe able to at best, guess which strain is what.. not happening in these pics..

Just remember if you transplant to fox farm ocean forest to use water only (no nutes) for about 4 weeks and the new growth will come in good if you have good lighting and a good environment. You might get some improvement in color of the old growth but the new growth should take over.
Part of the problem may have been poor soil and poor feeding and watering habits.
Be careful not to water to often, the most common new grower mistake.
Good Luck!
