Strange papery leaves

I'm having trouble with my new batch of clones. They have all rooted in my cloner and we're healthy until a few days ago. Leaves are all turning upward and papery. I though root rot, so I took one plant out of the pot and removed the mix. The roots look healthy.

They are under a galaxy LED in promix. The promix has added worm castings, blood meal, bone meal, lime. My water ph is on the low side. 4.6-5.2. so i wonder if that is causing the issue. I'm stumped though as no other plants are having this issue.

Any advice would be great. I hate to loose these clones. They are GSC and C99. I don't have mother's yet and can't get these cuts from the same place if they don't make it.

Do you have a grow journal, I would like to follow your because I have similar strains

Sorry no journal yet. I'll start one this week if I get a chance.

I let the pots soak in 7ph water then flushed with 6.5 water. Hopefully that fixes it. I wonder if I somehow forgot to add lime to my mix for these. I have well water that is pretty low pH and have not had an issue in my plants since I started adding lime to my mix.

These were cuts I got from a friend. Not rooted. Just cuts. They rooted pretty quick and blew up in growth. The gsc is the forum cut. C99 is the pineapple pheno. These photo were 2 days apart to give you an idea of rate of growth.

Ph is way too low, and from the looks of it, it's starting to cause an issue with two elements that work together, magnesium and phosphorus. Once you start getting to a ph of 5.5 and below, those two elements won't get to the plant. Ideally you want to keep your ph around 6.

For your specific growing setup, you want to stay between 5.5 to 6.1
You can even alternate 5.5 and 5.8 to help with the uptake of Mg and Ca respectively.
They like it on the higher end when they are younger.
Never feed just water with coco mixes.

Get some Trichoderma and mycorrhizae for the roots, they will help prevent lots of imbalances and give more drought resistance, you also need less food and less water when using these guys.

The plants have also outgrown their pots.
