Not sure if I'm paranoid from last time or if I'm slightly over feeding?

Hey what's up RIU folks. I'm back from the drawing board! I've posted a few problems in the past based on MG and finally threw in the towel and started from scratch. I have a new skunk baby that IMHO looks amazing, and smells even better already! However I noticed some light green at the very tips of my older leaves and it looks kinda crumpled where the leaf meets the stem...almost like I'm forcing growth...??

like I said I've had issues in the past so I'm wondering if I'm just noided out....

im im using a straight base semi "organic" soil
it has 0 nutes in it, just bark and peat moss mixed with soil...
I picked it up cheap from lowes based on suggestion from a worker who grew "very sweet lettuce" lol
i mixed in verm and perl and started FF series based on the chart...take into consideration I didn't pick up ff until about 3 weeks in from seed hitting dirt, so it was almost perfect!

running 900 watt cfls mostly 5000k with 2 100watt 2700 to mix it up...
I have a fan mounted over the tops to keep them rustling a bit
temps and humidity at 80-82F rarely hit 84 when I'm slacking and stay between 55-65 humidity

My ph was a little high last week and they started locking out so I adjusted an 8ph with 5ph nute mixture and this is what I have...

like I said IMHO...she has REALLY greened up and just wreaks of awesomeness...but the tips and wrinkles bother me a little??

How am I doin on attempt #2 using RIU as a resource and everyone's help and experience?


the last pic of the taller plant was my MG baby...I switched her soil out with a water tank technique and went over to FF but as you can see she is all kinds of unhappy...greened up nice but very stressed out..plus she had a terrible fall and lost half her stalk but still bounced back a little... I wanted to name her after the winner of the UFC women's fight lol

It's called Just Natural I believe...the store by me has general hydroponics and FF...I think they had the Part A and B when I went for CaliMagic but he said he didn't have any advanced when I went for nutes but he literally had just got FF, opened the case for me

well pics 1+2 look pretty healthy and happy, they ll be able to use some n(ur grow fert) now. pic 3 is the issue. if its a diff strain looks like she was more sensitive to the ph swing and had locked out some nutes already. give her water and get her soil to 6.5 ish first then give her the grow nutes. if ur havin trouble stabilizing ph some lime will help

Lucky,
You aren't getting responsed because it's not obvious. Would you rather have a bunch of guesses? A rich organic soil should usually have enough nutrients for at least a month. You shouldn't start nutrients until you see a little chlorisis in lower leaves. But you started FF nutrients accorlding to "the chart" and damn, those charts are usually way high. So I am assuming you have overnuted and are now getting some nutrient lockout from applying too much nutrients too soon. I'd just use water until this clears up. Enough to get runoff.

Do you really think those little plants have used up all the nutrients in a rich organic soil? That's the question you should ask...
