What am I doing wrong???

Newbie trying to do an indoor grow. I’ve done it years ago but i pretty much new to the game again. I’m at a loss and need help. I figured soul was going to be an easy start up and man, they have taken me for a ride. They are all going well but obviously not completely happy. I’m using Ocean Forest soil. 24/0 light. I use tap water but I set it out for 24 hours before ph and using. I water them as their pots become light or if they start dropping. I have a small fan in there for circulate air. I was suggested to add cal mag. So I’ve done that and I’ll post more pics after cal mag added.

And here is the most recent pics…

Aluna what nutes are you feeding them? Do you water to run off? How long have they been growing?

I agree with Cal Mag, it'll probably help and it won't hurt. A shot of nitrogen might green the plants.

When I see problems with soil grows it's almost always with Fox Farm soils.

Cut your light to 18 light, 6 dark. 24 hours of light puts some stress on photos.

Good luck!

Bush Doctor Cal Mag is the only nutrient I’ve added. I can definitely change the light schedule. I do water until a little runoff, maybe not enough? They’ve been growing since February. About 2 months now.

They are hungry, very hungry. Feed them. And maybe not push your dryback quite so hard, if they are drooping they are getting damaged. Kudos for not overwatering tho!

Also looking a lil hot

Soak those pots and dump the runoff on your outdoor ornamental plants
Really hungry

Looks like a classic case of too much grower input...
24 hours is fine and should work flawless if you keep up good rh and waterings.

If your giving tap water, don't add cal mag.
If your fan is blowing directly at the plants, divert it so the wind won't hit them.

A good rule is to look at the ingredients of your soil mix and understanding what it has or not.
In your case, it has everything in it to support plants without you adding anything, not at this stage anyway, anything you add will create a toxic rootzone if added improperly.

This is primarily the reason people have problems with fox farms or any enriched soil mixes, it's the KTM Ready to race soil, you plug and play it, not add or take from it.

Set your PH to 6.3-6.4 and check with EC meter where your tap waters level at.

To me your plants are overfed and in a toxic rootzone, I know some said here you need to feed them but please don't as just adding N to this soil mix (not counting all other elements) will surely kill them.

Check your water ec and if it's a normal value just give them water for now till run off until you see the plant stabilized.

As always, more info would help so if you can layout your process of waterings (ec, ph, nutes used) and environment (rh, temps, lights used,) we can help more.

What size pots are they in ..could need repotted
