issues first time grower just switched to 12/12 help me :(

so the plant with my hood power cord in the pic is the plant that is not doing so well i will get better pics later when light first comes on. well i got endless amount of questions but ill try and stick to the matter at hand here . ill start off by explaining my setup... i have 7x7x9 room "excuse them mess i had to switch rooms in my house so i could use the restrooms fart fan to vent my hood the other room i had been using during winter started getting in the 90's was to hot so i fixed that issue. i know i need finish floor and some wall with white or mylar i been working on sealing the room for past week or so moving them from the other room was pain in the neck could barly fit threw doors . but i use organic soil cant remember name of brand off top my head the bag is in my rrom on dark cycle now so cant look.. i had a issue with the soil i used when i transplanted them the first time at the time i had 10 plants and i learned never be a cheapo and get junk soil i lost 6 of them but since i switched they seem to have picked up the pace and are doing well besides 1 of them . I use b/c nutes real light doses every 3rd time i water on 2 of my plants the other 2 i havent been using any nutes just wanted to see if i could notice a difference well i guess my main question is u think its root bound? or possibly salt build up? it is one that i feed i also trained this plant very hard in veg lots of topping/fim and tied down alot of branches witch almost up rooted my plant came in one day was leaning at 45 degree angle so i cut all the tie downs and put few supporter strings close to base to hold it up again this happened a few weeks ago and im not sure if thats the problem or somthing else ? im at like 70 degrees F at top of canopy and on floor 68 i ph my watter to 7 for soil is this right? and should i test runoff ? before i transplanted into good soil i was rdy to pull em all up and start over its been very stress full and good learning experience so far.
any advice or knowledge would be super help full plz help a noob out ill get better pic later when light is on ill take to side room with regular light to get better pics one last question is my room gonna be big enough for these 4 plants ? i got about 2 and half maybe 3 feet till light is at celling and top canopy is about 10 inches under the hood.. sorry might not be able to see in pics but the 1 plant im worryed about has lighter green leaves then rest and some lower leaves yellow then die is canopy to thick blocking light from lower?its the plant that has hood power cord in pic plz anyone help View attachment 2668615 View attachment 2668616 View attachment 2668614

Not trying to sound like an asshole here. But (a) pic says it is an invalid attachment when I click on it (b) please use some punctuation, paragraph breaks, etc. I honestly tried to read the whole thing numerous times but can't get through the chain-of-thought prose. I know it is a pain on tablets and smart phones, but you will get many more people to read what you wrote if it is clear and concise.

Sorry, the pics still don'e work. In the boxes/buttons right above where you type a reply there is one that os a square, to the left of one that looks like old movie film. Click on it, then "from computer", find the pick on your computer and select it, then hit upload file.

How old are the plants? How tall are they? And what size pot is it in?

Without being able to see pics the one thing i can say for sure is 6.5ph for soil is what you want.Without knowing what soil you have I can't say whether you should test runoff but most potting soils contain buffers.I have never tested runoff and mine have been fine.

the one close to camera is the one i worry about... there about 4 months old from bottom of pot to top of canopy smallest one about 3.5-4 feet tall. the other 3 about 4.5 feet in 5 gal pots

Well they all look great, chill my friend.
Why did you grow them soooo big? You know they are going to try and double in size right?
Five gallons is not enough for these things, sorry. Back to try and read your first post.

Root bound, probably yes. Look at the last pic you posted, see how little that light is getting to the lower parts of the plants? That is why I like to keep all my indoor plants nice and short. Ask away....JR
 
Think they will make it through flowering? Or will i have transplant ? Im not sure in can do it alone . And i can only go few feet higher with light

I like bush on all my women ha ha jk that gross ... should i maybe tie down top branches ? now I"m starting to worry i will run out of room.

plant on the right has little yellowing on lower leaves. I'm starting to think it may just be lack of light on lower canopy . I'm thinking about getting another light maybe do some side lighting down low any input ?

Oh man did you understand what kind of monsters they will become after switching? You need all the light you can find, if not enough i would lollipop and scrog..
 
As soon as I transplanted then into 5 gal pots and better soil they grew way faster then I expected like a foot or so in like a week or 2 . I don't want to trim any off them because I have had them running on 12/12 3 day now and don't want to stress them . I think i will just tie as many branches down as I can I don't think I would like a scrog I'll get pics up after i tie them down tonight. I thought 1000w light would be plenty light... now I'm now so sure

you overgrew your space by alot. these things would do great outdoors, probably harvest like 2ps off each lol. but indoors you might not have enough light or height.

Jesus those are the biggest indoor plants I've seen. I would take s bunch of clones and do the clones correctly
 
I was hoping 1 p off all 4 . I guess i messed up big time. I may just take the 2 smaller plants and kick em out the room if it gets 2 crowded. I have to learn from my mistakes. I just hope i still get a decent yield but it don't sound to promising. how long does it take to revert back to veg from flower ? Was also thinking about kicking 2 them out throwing them under some cfls 18/6 again and wait for the biggest 2 to finish flowering then throw other 2 back in or would that be waste of time?

Why would you revert back to veg? You want them to flower asap... they're massive to still be in veg. Even if you get rid of the 2 smaller plants, those things are definitely going to use up every inch of space you have. It's going to be hard to give them enough light, so I would lollipop and get all the light you can staying 12/12.
