From the sound of it, you are killing them with nutes.

Ocean Forest and Happy Frog have pleeeenty of nutes in the soil already to do your plant just fine until you flower, assuming you have a pot large enough for the roots.

Stop giving them nutes or you are going to kill them all and ruin your soil/roots. I can literally go all the way from transplanted clone into my 2nd week of flower without giving them many nutes at all except CalMag and molasses and I run in Happy Frog. Ocean Forest has even more N than Happy Frog.

Back off the nutes before you burn your whole crop.
 
Alright appreciate that. finding holes or small tears in plant. Maybe small bugs. And first set of true leaves seem to be drying up a bit. Yellowing

Get the tent. Otherwise you always be trying to retain light and ventalate in a small open space. I used to do that in a small bathroom. It worked, but utilizing all of my light and keeping proper intake/outake and odor became a problem. I now have a small 2x2.5 Gorilla tent. Although a cheaper $99 dollar tent will work.
My setup is the tent, 400 watt led lighting, and a 4" carbon fan/filter. I now utilze all light, have no light leaks, no escaping odors, and bigger harvests!

Way back in the day my first grow was dwc hydro too. Stems as thick as my wrists. Worked amazingly. I did a lot of reading first. Coco or soilless is a different story though. Flushing and other problems can arise. Burnt plants happen all the time.
You can quote me on this and ask around. Soil is the easiest way to grow. Water every couple days. No phing, minimal feeding, days between waterings. Simplicity at its finest. Soilless? Eesh ph this, that, and everything. Hydro, which is different than soilless, always having to match EC or ppm however you measure it. Scrubbing weekly, full rez changes, ro systems, extra equipment like chillers, ph pens, ec meters, on and on.
Or.
Grow bag, ffof, water, feed a couple times in flower at 75-100% with some additives like calmag and done. Thats simple right? And itll produce a really nice harvest.
u talk shit and what happened mate was i to much for ya u just give up after posting all this shit on my profile on how u were gunna make my life hell well u gave up pretty damn quick weak as piss

over ferted with a touch of over watering back off the water abit let it dry out also i am not a fan of fox farm soils they a really bad bags of shit u have no real controll on what that soil dose u are just gunna have to hope for the best or do a repot with some that u can controll
No offense to the OP or this poster...

But don't take advice from someone that tells you that they can't grow in Fox Farm... your soil is fine. Blaming Fox Farm because you over fertilized is like blaming McDonald's because you gained 40 pounds...

Can't control Fox Farm... da fuq?

This post just gave me heartburn reading it...

Very nice sir. Glad it's rebounding. Are you going to finish it off in the 3gal pots?

As for the holes and tears, I agree with Smoken. Building yourself a cheap tent would be optimum for keeping your grow area clean and dialed-in. Just one moth to get on a plant is all it takes to ruin 2 months of hard work...

Oh, and stop taking advice from rob333...

He is a fake grower, with fake pics, and fake advice, from a fake grow shop. Example:

https://www.rollitup.org/t/may-i-get-some-advice-please.850709/

As for your grow, all I can suggest is: We need new pics after the transplant :) More plant porn, please.
 
In first week of flowering. just transplanted to a bigger Home Depot pot maybe 4 or 4.5g. But want to send to a 7g smart pot. It's coming from a 3G smart pot.

Your plant isn't anywhere near big enough to need a 7gal. 1 gallon per foot of growth is the accepted formula. I grow 2-3 foot SoG plants and only use 2 gallon grow bags. I use 3 gallons if I am going from seed.

More dirt takes more water. It takes me 2 quarts of water to get a nice run off out of my 2 gallon bags. It takes me a gallon to get the same run-off out of my 3 gallon bags. Doesn't sound like a huge difference... but I live in the desert and water costs more than nutes for my grows.
