HELP!!! I have a couple BMEAT's growing!!!!

What the hell could I be doing soooo wrong?!?!? Here is my setup again. Closet, 33"x22"x90". I have 184W of 6500K CFL and 168W of 2700K CFL for 352W total of mixed spectrum. I have a 70CFM bathroom fan exhausting into the attic. I have a small 5" desk fan blowing over my girls. I use a Burpee soil hydrometer to check my soil before watering. Letting it get down to between 1 and 2 on a scale of 10, and that is at the very bottom of my pots. All my pots have drain holes and I layered the bottom with straight perlite before adding my 60/40 Black Magic soil/perlite soil mix. My water is rain/snow water pH'ed between 6.8-7.0(analog meter). I have MG 24-8-16 mixing it 1tsp/gal. So a couple weeks ago I started getting BROWNISH/YELLOW spots on my bottom leaves. Old Timer told me I had brown spot disease and dusted everything with sulfer. I thought I had a K def so I started with some nutes. I ended up losing the 2 bottom (NOT counting coty) sets of leaves on pretty much every plant before they started coming around and looking better. Started growing like WEEDS. Now about a week ago I noticed that as my soil drys out on top, I can see a shit ton of ity bity white spots all over my soil, my perlite is turning brown on top layer, and the bottom leaves are getting BLACK spots, curling up falling off. I am thinking that this is white mold on the dirt and fungus on the leaves. I bought Shultz Fungicide 3 (neem oil fungicide, insecticide, miteicide) and sprayed the shit out of the plants, soil, potters, the fan, the entire closet. The old lady is laughing at me because she says my plants look like little palm trees cause there is absolutely no bottom leaves anymore. And a couple of them, the new growth is all jacked up and looking like a BMEAT grow!!!! HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!

First, sorry, my cam has been dropped from my tree stand 1 too many times, pix are pink and blurry. "easy on the mg"????? would a tsp/gal be too much??? only htting them with MG every other watering. whats the best way to drop my pH??

How old are your plants??? You may not need the nutes at all right now?????

check your ph then use ph up or down on the solution. also check your runoff when you water. that fert sounds kinda strong i would maybe just give them water for a while to see what happens. then start them back on a lower does if they spring back. if your soil is too acidic top dress some lime on it. also check for insects with a magnifying glass with no pics and stuff its hard to tell. how old are the plants? also the perlite will turn a little brown on top after a little while from my experience.

They were wet seeds dropped in coco discs on (2x) 02-11 and (7x) 02-12. Transplanted all 9 to current pots on 03-10. I have checked my run off water. Still says it is @6.8-7.0. I thought the meter might be broke so I put it in a cup orange juice, it read @6.0. After a good water, while soil is still wet, I have checked the soil also, @6.5-6.7. My main stems are green, but almost all the stems on the fan leaves are purple/reddish color????

I would say back off on the nutes for a couple waterings.
I have used the MG all purpose, but only after day 25 from sprout.
I'm assuming by tsp., you mean the small scoop?

yeah, the small end. I'm thought the small end was a tsp and the big end was a TBS, but fuck I could be wrong, seems like everything else I'm doing is wrong.

i thought orange juice was around 4.0 or 3.5

See, my shit might be fucked up. It's a cheap Burpee pH and fertility tester. Analog meter, with 3 probes and no batteries.

Your title is fucking priceless man.....If you have 8 bucks get a new ph meter here...

It is a digital LCD Ph meter which can be calibrated with the screw driver it comes with and some cheap calibration solution....Sounds like your ph is off as well as your meter....

Cool. It will take about a week to get, cause it comes from China. Mine took 6 days, but that was with a weekend in their too....It works so much better than the liquid test kits and the 3 prong unpowered testers out there.....
