Need some help badly folks - 1st grow

- Start date
wish i could help you, i've been watching to see what people say, because i've been having problems myself...
if you want more of a response, why don't you put a link at the bottom of your signature saying something like "please help me with this problem and i'll be your best friend forever", and then contribute useful/positive things to a bunch of other people's posts, especially people that are knowledgeable and have been around for a long time on this site... maybe someone who wants to help will take notice then... there are just so many posts on this site, that it seems like as soon as we post something, 10 people come and post stuff and our post is pushed way down the list, out of view of potential advice givers...
my fault, if you've already tried something like that- just tryin to be helpful, and in the mean time, keep your spirits up and keep going through the faq- good luck!

Plagron's flagship soil, BatMix is one of the top soils available for organic growing.
It contains all of the usual ingredients that you find in it's competitors such as Canna's professional range and Biobizz's All-Mix, but Plagron have also included a cracking level of bat guano into the mix and plants love it.
Bat mix contains enough fertliser for around 3-4 weeks rapid growth with just tap water added, or it also works really well with the full Plagron or Biobizz feeding range.

ok so i had my mate round tonight just to have a look an by chance he had his pH tester with him. i tested my water which returned at 6.7 but when i tested it with his it came back at 6.3.
This is way to low is it now? So am gonna pick up a new PH tester 2moro and some pH up and get the water to pH7
am i thinking along the right lines?

I grow in soil and never have had to test the soil.I use a test/ correction kit and just make sure everything I put into the pots ( water , water + ferts , etc. ) is around 6.6-6.8. I have had other problems but never Ph issues. Pretty easy.
the problem with your plants is the lighting man...the plants are too young for such a strong light...the plants are still in their vegetative state...meaning that you should be using fluorescent light bulbs until you are ready to flower..thats when the big bulbs you have now come in...good luck ...also try to lower the lighting time from 17 to 16 hours

I don't think that the light is too strong...much lower than the sun, if they were outdoors. I think they look pretty much healthy.. I experienced some of the same things at around the same age..I thought it might be Mg Def. I transplanted to a soil that had dolemite lime in it, it seemed to do the trick, does you soil have lime added? If not you may want to read about Mg def. and see what you think..it's just an idea...good luck...cheers

It could be Mg and it looks like it could be a deficiency of some kind, but now you've repotted the plants should have acess to all the nutrients they need - you do not need to re-feed them anything, nor do you need to ph the irrigation water.
Give them a chance to settle into their new homes and if the yellowing gets worse then revisit the problem then. You must give the plants a chance to adjust to their new surroundings, it doesn't happen immediately but takes several days to a week for them to resume normal growth.
This is the problem with stressing the plants in any way, whether this be light stress, nutrient or water stress - it takes them time to re-adjust and get on with normal healthy growth.
Have patience.

cheers babygro - it now seems the new growth is fine and the yellow hasnt spread.
I think what was causing it was my humidity as it kept dropping to below 30% which isnt good. I have a RVK 4" + Carbon Filter coming soon so am hoping that will help the humidity and i dont have much extraction at all so the plants are breathing correct
EDIT: some new photos of Plant 1
