Hello I am one week into veg after receiving clones last week. I transplanted the day i received clones into 3 gal fabric pots with an organic super soil, light cycle 18-6. Im using a 1500w Exlevnce Light about 32"above canopy. Temps have been between 75-68 day 45%h and 68-65 night 50% h. Watering with Ph water around every other day. I noticed what seemed to by spider mites with green cleaner organic solution. Ive noticed yellowing and purple leaves. I was told my light is to high from a friend. I really don't know whats wrong please HELP!IMG_9705.JPGIMG_4324.JPGIMG_0060.JPGIMG_0587.JPGIMG_0587.JPG

What medium, what nutrients are you feeding them, and what's the pH of the water and water/nutrient mix that you're giving the plants?

Yes they don’t look good. If you want to save them you must: get a real humidity dome and get the humidity to 75% and get the temperature to 75, maybe a little higher.

These plants don’t need to be blasted with intense light they need to be nursed back to health in the corner gently.

You said you water with “pH water”. , what pH
Every time I see a soil problem it involves pHing water. I say tell us your tap pH and ppm and probably flush with it, and stop pHing.

Water, as well as water/nutrient mixes should always be pHd to the proper level for the medium one is growing in. OPs tap water could be way too high, way too low, or wildly different by the day.

Having a pH out of whack can cause all manner of issues, including the myriad that OP is facing. Besides, to me the medium looks like peat, not soil, but of course without OP letting us know, I could be mistaken.

In soil, water and water/nutrient mixes should be pHd to 6.0. Soil, 6.5.

Over watering can cause similar issues as out of range pH. The plants depicted do have the appearance of a possible recent over watering event.

The Medium i am using is called rhody gold, its a super soil made from compost, worm castings, coco coir, perlite, etc.. ( the usual from bagged supersoils) The water i have been using is purified water at a ph level of 6.4 and ppm of 33. I have watered once with Super Bat Super Tea Mix from the guano company. the npk reading is a .5-.5-.01 and specifically says will not burn plants. I brewed the tea for 20 hours and watered mid week and have been watering with the same 6.4 water since.

You dont need to blast them with nutes when they are that small. The soil has ample food in it for them at this size. Also water till you get a saturation of the medium with slight runoff and then do not water them until they dry out. Water them the pots are heavy. When they need watered they will be super light in comparison.

Too much too fast. Those are not very big clones with minimal foliage needing minimal feed. Give them plain water and nothing else. Hope for the best.

Yes I agree, it would be great to have the perfect pH for the medium. What I am saying is that it is possible to make mistakes when pHing water, and it could cause problems. Using old inaccurate pH strips, not stirring etc.. and it might be better off for some to just use plain water to start with.

OP what kind of pH measuring device do you use?
So the pH of the tap water is 6.4? That’s pretty much perfect.
I would consider getting a new clone or seed and try again, but keep this one alive as best as possible. Don’t give up until it is very dead
