multiple problems! (please help)

Hey everyone!

I recently bought some lamps, pH down, soils and lamps along with some clones,, its been about 3 weeks and something started happening:

I got 5 different kind of strains and some were larger than others when bought

I noticed spider mites and I sprayed them with an oil called green cleaner and everything was fine...

we passed them to bigger pots but they seems to be getting worse, I lost 3 already and overall health seems bad

It looks like different conditions, please advice!

U got like every issue in the book. Bad lighting, bad pots, probably bad soil, bad genetics, either under watering or over watering, bugs u name it.

If u notice how "stretchy" all of them are... that's either a light problem, or a genetics problem.

Bugs love dying plant matter. Your grow room looks unhealthy.

Why so many plants? You only have enough light to flower one.

As a general rule of thumb I personally use a 1 gal pot when plants reach about 6 inches ish. Check the roots you may be rootbound.

I rarely advise anyone to order seeds. But for you, I'll advise it. Those plants don't even look like they would've ever been worth purchasing based on their growth.

I think your source of genetics and growing knowledge may need some improvements.

Good luck in the future but that attempt is in the books!

^ mostly, except seeds, they dont come with mites mate, ever. mites come from clones and friends

it is in the books, but I'll still try to see it through,, meantime I researched and you were right,, wrong soil (30-10-10) any suggestions at this point? now about the lights, I researched and that brand was recommended by over 80 growers who swear by it, I might have had it a little too close... grow area is 3x3.5 which is a little under what they say it can cover (3.5 X 3.5). and I have them 3.5 feet away although some of them are a little taller than others, so I put the taller ones to the sides. what do you think about this? genetics could be I wouldnt know since I just purchased these clones for the first time.. but they tell me that they are different strands grow in different ways... like 1 strand (all 6 clones of the same strand) had only 3 leaves instead of 5,, have you heard this?

can you tell me about rootbound? how do I check and fix if it is?
working on knowledge growth with these experiences and your advice! thanks man!

The lights are Chinese blurples. There's people that give reviews on that crap that have never even harvested with them. Heck there's one guy on this site recently during his unboxing swore up and down it was the best light ever on his YouTube channel I asked him if he'd ever used it and said no.
Most people stay away from soil high in nitrogen because it's gonna cause you problems if it's not all used up by flower or if it's time released.
Google search rootbound. Pretty much roots strangle themselves because isn't enough room to grow.
Different strains do grow slightly differently. But those just don't look like they ever had a fighting chance.
Do you have a pic from when u first got them?
Guessing these were from a "buddy" and not dispensary
