Specs

400W HPS/MH light system, 160 cfm fan for outtake/intake. Air cooled hood. FF Ocean Forest Soil. Plants are 14 days old from a seed. 1 for sure has a SEVERE nitrogen def. I have a cheap soil php tester u stick in, and its readying right under 7.... But the run off from the plants is testing at 6 or lower.

The bigger plants are ok, but one of them has leaves that are starting to twist and darken in color. The other kinda sags just a big. I tested their runoff and its 6 or below.

I decided to nute at 1/4 strength with the organic ff big bloom last nite. They seem to look a little better. I hit the severe nitro plant with a 1/4 dose of grow big, and its looking kinda diff. Cant tell if its better/worse yet.

Temps 70-78 constant lights off/on, humid is at 40-48%.Lights are 18-6 have been that way since 11/13. The light is about 10-11 inches away. I find the top portion of the soil is kinda dry daily. I realized i wasnt pouring enough water in when i was wtering, now i water until their is run off. Please help me out

Now in an hour or so im gonna run and get a actual no shit npk ph SOIL tester. Then im gonna test the soil and /raise/lower the ph accordingly. That should clear up this issue and the nutes should be fine because im using ocean forest soil. I will start regular nutes (non organic) next week. Please help me out and any suggestions pointers will be greatly appreciated.

over watering/underwatering? The soil is dry for 3 to 4 inches before i water. Im gonna get a soil moisture gauge as well today.

i use the same method with the 3-4 inches of soil moist, i dont let mine get too dry..
 
dont get the moisture gauge, there absolutely and totally fuckin useless. they give false readings and are tottally innacurate. the only way to check how much water is in ur pot is by lifting it up. if its very light it needs watered , if its heavy it doesnt. i know this sounds very unscientific but any experienced grower will tell u the same, it'll only take you a few weeks to be able to tell by weight how wet ur soil is. i use 10-12 litre pots( think thats about 3 gallon) and i feed around 2.5litres(around 5 pints) every third day. water till run off put them back in there plant pot saucers, go away for an hour a then go back and empty all the saucers or drip trays.
